This was very intriguing observation which sure makes glad to be a night owl . I was along the Little Tennessee River approximately 10 to 15 miles down stream from Fontana Dam. The one main thing i want stress is that i heard what i think may be the sound of impact . This seemed distant and in the direction of travel. This is the area of The Smoky Mountain National Park, Brayson City . I thought about the aftermath of the Russian City that got a big surprise with aftershock from he'll. Thanks for the opportunity to report. Would love to get feedback.

First flash loud crack, seemed like lightning followed by fast even brighter secession of flashes. The direction of my walk faced the approximate direction of entry of odject. As I turned around I saw the daisy chian of red fragments as the chain seemed to split as it all dissappear Ed. I was truly amazed . I have to say i thought there was going to be a lond bang to follow . Not the case.
