Default Anybody Know What We Saw Tonight?

I'm betting it was the ISS but others thought it might have been the shuttle getting ready to de-orbit.

I live in San Francisco and it came out of the west at 8:31PM and was out of sight to the east at 8:32:40. A bright slightly bluish point. Seemed to track slighty north as well.

Heavens-above.com (note hyphen) shows a pass on 3/26 at 20:27 to 20:32 for the ISS. Starting low in the South West, peaking quite high in the south east 73 degrees up, then disappearing in the northwest. It shows no Shuttle passes visible from SF after the 25th.


If this works, it should be a chart of the next few days with an ISS pass or you.
