I saw it!!!!!!!!!
It was a very bright light that corssed the horizon in about a minute (fastest space-object ive ever seen). And it followed the exact path that I thought it would after matching the cnn map and heavens above map
People in the USA probably missed it if you havent seen it, as I'm a couple miles from the coast and it already passed.
Its luck that I saw it as I was planning on going out around 10 to look for it, but someone called me down the street to give her my history book, and on the way there I was looking where I thought it would be, and there it was! Perfect luck
Thats gotta be the coolest space-thing ive seen, next to the shuttle launching and feeling the vibrations in the ground....
Coolness Itself.....
