It looks like a bright, fast moving airplane. You can't miss it.

And it's silent too right?

Did everyone see it? A lot brighter now that all the solar panels are installed.

I saw it!!!!

Thanks for the description, as it took me a minute to figure out that it was the "plane" whose lights didn't blink and whose flight path was different from the others.

Very cool - my first man-made space object sighting! Thank you Shelley!

I went to the walkover and tried to find it but couldn't. Darn it!!! I would have loved to see it. Thanks for the info anyway, Shelly.
