Size of Object(s)Looked like a star Shape of Object(s)small light...like a star Color of Object(s):white Full Description & DetailsI live 12 miles inland from the east coast of Florida in New Smyrna Beach which is north of Cape Canaveral. I had my dogs out at 6:15am and was looking southeast at the sky (towards Cape Canaveral) which is a good distance away. It was still dark with lots of stars. All of the sudden what looked like a star shot upwards and disappeared in a matter of seconds. This object was stationary in the middle of the sky when it shot up. I was amazed because it looked like a falling star but moving UP. I told my father later that morning and he said he was walking at 10:15am and noticed a vapor trail coming from the direction of the Cape. He thought something was launched from the Cape that day. That's when I thought it was very strange that my sighting happened on a day of a launch. This object was moving as fast as a falling star. I am always looking at the night sky and see a lot of satellites, falling stars and airplanes. This object was not a satellite.........it was moving incredibly fast, also too fast for an airplane.
