Red Light in Urbandale Iowa July 4th 2000

I was sitting on my deck watching fireworks in Urbandale, Iowa. My home was located just south of 86th st and my backyard was against Hickman RD. I noticed a red light that remained stationary for a long time. It wasn't a normal light, it was more of a globe and it didn't blink. I didn't notice anything drop out of it like others have reported but I did see it depart straight up and away. The rate of acceleration was greater than anything I have seen before. I talked about this event for weeks. The next day, it was discussed on the radio talk shows locally in Des Moines.
