Wow, that was awesome! Best pass I've yet witnessed (most directly overhead). It abruptly winked out downrange about halfway between the zenith and NE horizon. Due to some bright ambient lights, I couldn't tell if it went behind a cloud or entered the shadow of the earth. I'm gonna go with the latter....just because it sounds more "spacey". :-) Chris
