| 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. |
