Duration | 3s |
Length | 8° |
Remarks | Initial bright white flash followed by white train that disappeared in less than 3 seconds. the path of the observation was generally straight with small trails of brief light falling away. When the light disappeared there were some at least two breaking flashes which I interpreted to be a break up of the object, which then disappeared. |
Terminal flash | |
---|---|
Observation | Yes |
Remarks | Described earlier. Important to note I was also traveling in a car just before dawn. The observation was in the direction of Fort Hood, texas so my initial thought was this could be a starburst from the military, however the light did not appear to arc, rather travel flat. |
