I know what I saw, technology well above us

I only know the date because I found the post I wrote on Facebook the night this occurred. Time is estimated at 7pm PST, I'm probably within an hour. I remember this like it was yesterday and will never forget.

To be frank I stepped outside my garage door to relieve myself and smoke a cig. Clear black valley sky, there wasn't much light here at the time, and there still isn't. I was facing North, when my peripheral caught a bright light approx. 20 degrees east off the ground floor. I may have thought it were a low flying airplane very close by, except what happened next. I only saw it in this state for 1/2 a second tops. The "craft" may have been stationary at the time. Maybe it was gaining power (light) before take-off which caught my attention. The craft looked very close by in that state, maybe 1/8th a mile away, but it could have been 3 miles away for all I know, hard to tell because it was dark. If I had to guess it was above the Carson river or pasture.

Then the craft took off approx. 70-75 degrees north at unbelievable speed. One moment it looked like the low flying craft described, the next the light was as bright as a high altitude jet, the next like a satellite & gone. But it never changed course, always 70-75 degrees north on a straight line. I steadily watched every bit of it under that sky for a total of 6-7 seconds. Recognizing that kind of speed so to speak, IMO it entered space in perhaps 5 seconds, and I only lost site of it because of distance & space dust. Think of the speed better than a falling star, only in this case it was going up. There was no trail or sound.

I thought perhaps if I added the record tonight it might match up with other reports for the same thing. Good luck, thank you.
