They might have taken the symbols down now with the news of the NK missile launch.

But it works, I saw it about 10 min. ago.

Probably a piece of the shuttle that fell off.

Woo-Hoo!!! The shuttle is just about to fly over Vancouver BC-Seattle...we won't be able to see it, though!

Same here is Indiana. It was awesome, first the ISS then a couple minutes later came the Shuttle. Not a cloud in the sky. Beautiful.

Pics would show nothin' but a dot of light...and it's moving way too fast for a telescope picture. Even with binoculars, just a fast dot...

I might try a timed exposure tonight and just get a trail...
