Object in sky like a shining light that seemed to be quite a distance away. moving extremely fast for distance judged. several times larger than star in clear sky at the time. looked at first to be large moving star. stopped on a dime, and then accelerated at incredible speed out towards space at what looked like a 45 degree angle. getting smaller as it accelerated until is disappeared. happened extremely fast in only a few seconds. at first we thought it might be a falling star for the first couple of seconds until it stopped and accelerated away at tremendous speed.
