Narrative:

Shortly after starting our takeoff roll, I observed a white light moving just off to the right, and several thousand feet down the runway ahead of us. About the time I began to rotate the aircraft, I noticed the white light was entering the runway. It was so far down the runway, my first thought was that it was a ground vehicle of some kind. By the time our aircraft was airborne, I could see the red and green navigation lights. I said to the first officer, 'that is an aircraft on the runway!' as we passed over it, I could see that it was a B737. My thought at that time was that there was another aircraft waiting to takeoff right behind us. Since no one had said anything about the aircraft on the runway on the tower frequency, I said 'tower, just so you know there is an aircraft on the runway out here.' just so you understand my position on this incident, I will say, at no time did I feel the situation was threatening, nor was any evasive action required on either aircraft's part. If you would like more information feel free to call the numbers given.
