Duration: 2:00
No of observers: 1

Location: Santa Clarita, CA, USA

Shape: Orb

White ball of light traveling across the night sky.

At about 1:00 AM Pacific standard time I looked South out my patio door and saw what appeared to be a white light approaching in the distance. Appeared at first to be the light from a helicopter coming towards me however it appeared to turn west and began to accelerate towards the Pacific Ocean at a 45 degree angle and continued at a decent speed until no longer visible, like if it continued at that angle it would go into orbit. I thought it must have been a rocket launch but it was just a ball of white light. There were no flashing lights like a jet or some other type of aircraft and no sound. It did not have exhaust like I’ve seen before on a rocket launch but when it turned and accelerated the light seemed to trail slightly behind it like a teardrop till it was too small to see anymore. I wish I grabbed my phone but I knew I wouldn’t get it in time. It really bothered me because I couldn’t explain it. Couldn’t find any reports of a rocket launch either f! or that evening. Never seen anything like it before.
