Appearance / Description of Object(s)

All I saw was what appeared to be a single light source. No shape or objects were visible.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I saw the object while sitting on a bench at Suisun Harbor, but it appeared to be much further away. If I had to estimate, it would have been in the sky a mile or two away, if not further. It appeared to be distant, like an airplane, but went from about (as judged by the horizon) from approximately 55 degrees to about 15-20 degrees on a 45 degree line (this took only a few seconds) to the point where it paused briefly, before shooting up and away from the Earth at about a 30-40 degree angle. It disappeared in a blink, so fast that the light red-shifted to full red and disappeared after leaving a "light trail."

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No way. Not given the trajectory, g-forces, distance, speed and red-shifting of the light that occurred.

Witness Background

Well-educated (J.D.).

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Unsure, but after seeing it, I don't think we're alone. It was not something our species can currently build.

Other Comments

I'd like to know if anyone else witnessed this same event, can explain it, or has seen something exactly the same, but perhaps in a different location. I'd like to know also if this could be explained in scientific terms.
