Delayed Sound
Observation No
Remarks I was riding a motorcycle and could not have heard it if there was a sound.
Persistent train
Observation No
Duration -1s
Length -1°
Remarks There was no train. I thought it was an airplane with its landing lights on and this made sense to me also because it was headed in the general direction of Mark Anton Airport in Dayton, TN. After a second I realized if it were an airplane it was traveling much too fast to be going to land. Then if just went out. I don\'t how deceived I was but it appeared to me to initially be low enough to begin a landing pattern. I know this from being a pilot.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks It did appear to flash and go out immediately.
Fragmentation
Observation No
