Location: Cotati, CA
Shape: Light
Duration:30 sec
climbing light observed

For cross data verification.

Observed a light climbing at a steep angle until it faded "probably due to height" in the vicinity of 80 degrees high south aspect.

We regularly watch from hot tub and are quite familiar with airliners, satellites, iridium flashes, rockets and unknowns. We first thought this was a Vandenburg rocket but none appear to have been launched that night per web search.
