Hello Everyone, I headed out 5 minutes early to try and see the shuttle cause some reported it sometimes it is visible 5 mins before. I didn't though.... This is the pass I saw of ISS: 05 Dec -0.6 18:20:34 10 WSW 18:23:37 68 NNW 18:23:45 67 NNW from location: 40.1580N, 76.8040W However right at about 18:20:50 a dimmer object appeared lower and further NW of this pass, the object flared, and eventually dimmed to the previous dimmer magnitude (2ish) and then dimmed altogetether as the station continued to pass overhead. The shuttle was about 8-10 degrees further down on towards the horizon and was in a similar orbit but separated in its distance from the horizon. I'd say the Shuttle if it was, was visible for maybe 30 seconds, I checked Iridium Flares and non are listed. You could tell they were in relatively the same orbit... And the Shuttle if it was had the usual color that I normally see when I saw the shuttle. So I think I saw the Shuttle, but since I had no predictions, I'm looking for some clarification.
