Hi everybody, Tonight (Feb. 15, local) there was a beautiful Shuttle pass culminating at 23:11 UTC at 45 deg. elevation to the northeast. Its magnitude reached -3 but what surprised me was that a tail of something was coming out of the Shuttle northward, about 50 to 60 degrees upward. It was about a half degree in length. While viewed head on when it was ascending, it looked straight. But when it passed in front of me, I could clearly see the cloud was being deflected and trailing behind for a few degrees. It lasted for all of the pass. Could it be a water dump ??? It was a great sight !
