Is the huge contrail we are seeing in So. CA from the shuttle? KFI radio says it is. Why is it over our sky, or did it blow up this way?

They found debris in New Mexico....so it might be possible..

It could be. A few years ago I watched one go overhead here in the Dallas area around 10:00 PM. The next morning, I could still see a contrail of sorts in the same place. Very high up... takes a while to dissipate.

Columbia left a huge contrail behind it. I watched it fly over the vegas valley. I saw one bright red spot in the middle of the huge bright light that I assumed must be the ship itself. Then the entire "glow" of the ship seemed to diminish for a second.
I did not think much of either things at the time but it was right after this that they lost communication.
