Subject: [AZ-Observing] Shuttle Reentry


Was leaving the TIMPA site west of Tucson at about 2:30 and saw what must
have been the reentry.  A very slow "meteor" took tens of seconds to cross
the sky.  The object itself glowed bright white, and it left a reddish trail
all the way from the western to eastern horizon.  Magnificent.
