Click on the "go to country" on the left of the screen, pick your state and then the city nearest you. They make quite an impressive sight zipping across the sky.

1. Hey Boss

On its way to the Cape, does it fly over 'Bossville'?

If I remember right, it breaks out of the atmosphere and clouds near Texas?

2. Our best shot

is thursday about 8:00 PM for three minutes from WNW to NNE, the clearest part of the sky we have. Always a fascinating sight. Would they be the submarines of the Vast deep blue Sky Ocean?
