Space Shuttle/Station Fly By

I wish I could of gotten a video...coolest thing ever. About 5 minutes ago a shuttle that had recently released from a space station flew over my house...300 miles in the sky. All you could see with the naked eye was 2 white dots flying fly incredibly fast overhead...fantastic experience. They came from the SW and were heading NE.

for real...once in a lifetime experience...

Sweet dude. Not something you see every day.

About 9 years ago I saw the shuttle doing a night landing going across Texas. It was one of the most amazing things. You just see this flame looking streak going across the sky. As it was happening I had the news on and they said it was over Louisiana. Something about seeing an object in the sky and watching it land in Florida 10 minutes later was amazing.

I have seen the exact same thing out at my cabin in West VA, but this was several years back. Seeing this thread made my heart jump a beat.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE my friend.

The sight takes your breath away.

Might I add, the news said that they were traveling at 24,000 MPH....incredible...

Best part is feeling the sonic boom from inside your house over 100 miles away

WOW!!

So that's what that was.... I was standing outside having a smoke break and looked up to see two white dots flying over head. Watched them till they flew out of sight. Thought it was funny looking because if it were planes the lights would have been flashing. I cannot believe I got to see that and not know what it was!

Very cool
