Bright light moving quickly across the sky that suddenly expands to 20X it size and then shoot into outer space.

My wife is from Japan and loves her outdoor hot tub, she's out there just about every night for the past 5 year, even in the hot summers of Arizona. She has been telling me of these strange lights that get real bright and and then dissapear very fast. I have been an Aircaft Mechanic sinse I joined the Air Force in 1980. Needless to say I have seen just about every man made aircraft ever made. So over the past few years I have explaining to her what a satelite looks like, pointed out the space station, space shuttle, and all manner of aircraft movement. She kept saying yea but this is different.

Well, I finally seen it for myself last night and yes this is something completely different. We live on the edge of the metropolis in far East Mesa right next to the GM proving grounds. A bright white light like a low orbit salletite that moved from north to south that suddenly lit up to perhaps 20X brighter & larger. At this point the object shot directly into outer space and extremly high speed. Not speed of light speed but very very fast. No sound and only white light. I know of nothing that can move like that, very bizarre. The whole event lastest less than 10-15 seconds, with my wife sreaming; there that is what I have been seeing. Well I have no explanation but it did appear to move like a vechicle of some sort. A UFO until someone could explain what we are seeing.
