While quality checking a new motion-aware co-addition of all 12.5 months of
WISE data, the source WISE J070720.48+170533.0 was found to have moved 0.9
arc-sec in 6 months. Backtracking this motion allowed us to identify this
source as 2MASS J07071961+1705464 and with several entries in the USNO B
catalog. An astrometric fit to these archival data gives a proper motion of
1793 +/- 2 mas/yr and a parallax of 37 +/- 42 mas. Photometry from WISE, 2MASS
and the POSS can be fit reasonably well by a blackbody with T = 3680 K and an
angular radius of 4.34E-11 radians. No clear evidence of H_2 collision-induced
absorption is seen in the near-IR. An optical spectrum shows broad deep CaH
bands at 638 and 690 nm, broad deep Na D at 598.2 nm, and weak or absent TiO,
indicating that this source is an ultra-subdwarf M star with a radial velocity
about -21 +/- 18 km/sec relative to the Sun. Given its apparent magnitude, the
distance is about 46 +/- 12 pc and the tangential velocity is probably about
400 km/sec, but a more precise parallax is needed to be certain.
