Default Unusual Sighting (What was that?)

Don't think so. Don't forget the "skinny" aft fuselage I described. It was
wasp waisted, like the current Diamonds or maybe a Lancair.

For what it is worth, I don't think it was a Moni either.

Did (or does) Sonex make a V-tail motorglider?

Yesterday, we departed Falcon Field, South of Atlanta (also the home of
Aircraft Spruce East) and noticed traffic at about 10 O'clock high. At
first, I thought it was one of the Diamond Eclipse trainers that
routinely fly out of Falcon. Low wings with a high aspect ratio, skinny
aft fuselage, trigear... As we got closer, it was obvious that it
wasn't an Eclipse..

Why? Well, it was slower than the Diamonds, was relatively small, and
had a V-tail.

What was that thing?
