ISS/STS-118 docking occurred almost overhead: rapidly moving clouds here, some stars seen intermittently but not the craft. After several years of hoping for an overhead docking I miss it. The eastern North Island may have got lucky with the weather, as it was 6 in the morning any random observers not in the know may be submitting UFO reports :-) Note to broadcast commentators: there are two islands in what you referred to imprecisely as the South Pacific- they may be small but are not tiny and are called New Zealand :-) As I have spread the word I am hoping there may be some press photographs if anyone managed to see the craft.
