II. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS: Object was sharply outlined, solid colored light. When first spotted the object was white. It then turned to red and brilliant red when it accelerated. Faded as it pulled away in the distance. Had the ability to accelerate rapidly but at first appeared stationary. Co-pilot saw a light believed to be a large greenish star. Light seemed stationary until it accelerated straight ahead. Climbed rapidly away. The light was first spotted on top of an overcast, it climbed between us and a distant cloud bank, no stars were noticed until the light climbed above the cloud into the clear air.
