Reported movement

The object was first logged hovering around 15 m above an area of disturbed, churning water, moving erratically as it climbed slightly to about 20 m over the whitewater. As the intercepting jet began a descending spiral at roughly 45 seconds, the object rose sharply from 30 m to about 1500 m to mirror it, met it nose to nose near 3000 m, and then accelerated away, passing 6000 m and reaching about 8500 m by the two-minute mark. Only the final altitude point is a reported position and only the departure timing is reported; every other position is inferred or guessed, and the intervening timing is guessed or inferred rather than observed. The radar reacquisition roughly 60 miles away is the one independent anchor for how fast it left.

Source excerpts

“It was a white Tic Tac shaped object, about 40 feet long, with no wings.”
“It's rising up and mirroring me. As I get to about 12 o'clock ... it just accelerates and it's gone.”
“Within seconds the Princeton radioed that the object was at the CAP point, 60 miles away.”
