[net.columbia] Shuttle sighting

karn (11/14/82)

Based on the orbital elements I obtained last night, I ran off some
optical sighting predictions for my sister and her husband who live near
Miami.  They successfully sighted the shuttle exactly where my program
had predicted they would. 

The shuttle was unmistakable. It was very bright white, and moving west
to east much faster than an airplane would appear to move.
