Description (In Witness's Own Words): I was walking with my family from the schoolyard we always walk to. I looked up and saw something flying slowly just above the clouds, it was casting a large, round, white glow against the clouds. I thought to myself: "Wow, that plane is flying pretty darn low." Then the thing shot up at a left angle getting smaller and smaller and then disappearing within not even 5 seconds. My wife noticed me staring up and looked but only caught it when it was very small. A couple of minutes later a jet plane came flying over the area faster than I'd ever seen a plane travel.)

Investigator's Notes:  The witness has seen an interesting object against a reference point (cloud tops).  The fact that the object (light) was flying slow and then rapidly changed direction and disappeared would rule out most conventional explanations (balloon, regular aircraft, meteor, etc).  Given current information I cannot identify this sighting.  Any updates will be posted.
