Hovering above the ground and then accelerated away a great speed.

I viewed the first object from about 7 miles away at about 1:30am. There was a thin overcast. It had a glowing dim blue green light it gave off while hovering in the base of the thin cloud deck layer about 1500 feet about the ground. It was fairly large maybe a football field length. I'm a commercial pilot with a lot of aviation experience and it wasn't anything I've ever seen before in my entire life. It looked like it went straight up into and possibly above the thin overcast and then I saw an orb like object departing from where I saw it leave my sight. This orb was much smaller and accelerated at a steady rate to a speed nothing that I've ever seen do before. No sound. I would say it was about 3-5 miles away leaving to the north of the city from left to right at a very gradual climb as I viewed it and it was slightly above or perhaps in the thin layer of clouds. It was blue green in color. I drove to where I first saw the object and there's a marsh area and a substation with a lot of heavy powerlines in a wet lands area.
