Brilliant red object in the southern sky, which sped off with incredible speed.

I live on Tusquittee Mountain outside of Hayesville, NC. At, or about 20:00, I saw a red fireball like object above the neighboring mountain south of my location. It moved very slightly and then shot off to the west and then up at an incredible speed.

I have NEVER been a proponent of UFO's, but this was something I could not deny or pass off.
