No of observers: 1

Location: Inman, SC, USA

Shape: Light

Object spotted off the right on little mountain rd proceeding towards Malcom rd. Caught my attention because the object was bright white oval with a glowing almost orange bottom. No flickering lights or strobe and no noise . I pulled off side of the road to try and get a video but my iPhone storage was full . The object moved south parallel to the road . I turned around and speed down to a point I had good view, the object stopped , for a moment then started an ascent straight up. It then made a 45 degree vertical ascent and accelerated so fast in less than a second it just disappeared.

Been in aviation 30 years , this was not an aircraft . It was a full moon , good visibility . I saw no plume , no vapor trail or smoke. It was silent and I saw no other objects in the night sky in the area of said object.
