A white light appeared then vanished

On March 28th, 2024, at approximately 12:30 a.m. my wife and I were star gazing just past the Red Rock Conservation Area in Mountain Springs, NV pulled off on the side of the road. We were the only car/ people in our immediate area. There was little to no traffic. The sky was cloudless. After we had been looking up for about 5 minutes, a very bright white light appeared very high in the sky. I'm not a pilot so I cannot accurately guess the object's altitude. The object appeared to have a haze around it. Spherical or ball-like would be the best way to describe it, however there were no defined lines or angles. It stayed stationary for a few seconds and then accelerated at an incredible rate of speed in an upside-down "L" pattern. It moved downward then made a 90-degree right turn and vanished into the sky. Its acceleration was instantaneous. The object didn't change color or size during this event. There was no sound, no visible red and green lights like on an airplane, and no exhaust trail. The object moved through the sky with what looked like instant propulsion. We continued to star gaze for only about 10 more minutes because we were stunned at what we had just seen. No other objects appeared in the sky while we were there.

I was a mechanic in the U.S. Army with a deployment and an honorable discharge. I'm also a medically retired police officer. My wife is a police officer. My wife has a Masters Degree and I have an Associates Degree. I have lived in a landing glide path for a fairly busy regional airport my entire life. Working on and racing motorcycles and cars has been a passion and hobby of mine for over 25 years. I have never seen a plane, helicopter, drone, or vehicle move at that rate of speed and with such instantaneous acceleration.
