Occurred : 12/9/2006 20:53 (Entered as : 12/09/2006 20:53) Reported: 12/20/2006 10:23:04 PM 22:23 Posted: 2/1/2007 Location: Greensboro, NC Shape: Light Duration: About Three Minutes Characteristics: There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Space Shuttle presumed sighted in NC after recent night launch Just mentioning, we know it was the space shuttle, appeasring to pass through Orion. Visible as a steady orange glow, small star-sized, and even saw a white "spark" jump off in an arched pattern. Maybe a rocket being ejected and burnt? Question, even though this was a known object, did others see it? Not an impressive sighting, but very interesting and neat. Thanks.
