I was able to hear the sonic booms and actually see the orbiter pass by my home for the first time! The sun was in just the right place to expose the orbitor in the sky.

  • The sonic booms were not as profound this time at my location. The orbiter usually returns coming right towards my home. But this time it returned south of me and went directly east into the sunrise which allowed me to get a visual. The shuttle just looked like a moving star in the sky. So to actually get a visual was a treat. Unfortunately this video does not do the sighting justice. It was really bright in the sky.

  • I don't want to disappoint you, but it may have been the ISS that you saw, not the Shuttle. It came over shortly before the Shuttle landed.
