That was amazing!!
Two very bright objects - the very bright white of the shuttle and the slightly dimmer and brilliant red of the external tank travelling one above the other separated by about 0.5 degrees.
Amazing!

Saw Shuttle and the fuel tank.
The tank was obviously red I was quite suprised that the colour would be so obvious.

And best of all.....

I'm not the only nutter on the road:) .
A neighbour and his three kids were out watching as well.

Just passed over. Magnificant sight. Saw both the shuttle and the ditched fuel tank glowing a nice red/orange colour

That was cool. Just spotted it before it hit the clouds.
