Jan. 29 2003 About 0100 Morehead City, No. Carolina Heavy cloud cover Winds west to east about 15 mph.Object appeared to look like an exceptionally bright star, but below the cloud cover which was es-timated at about 8000 ft. Object seemed almost motionless but made several quick, darting motions opposite the cloud direction. Seemed to fade to dim several times and then reappear back to bright. It then disappeared and appr. 30 seconds later appeared a bit to the east and suddenly veered out to sea at an extremely high rate of speed and disappeared. By triangulating, the object seemed to me to be about 2 miles offshore.
