It was a very neat scene. From the direction I was heading, I was initially afraid that a plane was crashing after take-off from Little Rock National Airport or Little Rock Air Force Base. I was large enought that I was worried I close enough to be in line of debris after it hit. Very bright and fast moving. Pretty cool!
