I was about to go to bed around 9:50pm and was checking the north-facing =
sliding glass door into the backyard to make sure it was locked. Looking =
up to the sky i noticed a fairly bright object moving toward the =
north-east. I thought it was probably the space station (ISS) but wasn't =
sure. The next day i checked and sure enough, it was a nice pass of the =
space station over southern Calif. Little surprise sightings like this =
are fun!
