Just passed over Rosarito Beach at 8:45pm... only fast moving light in the sky. Thanks for the heads-up!

Whahoo that was moving FAST. Went over San Juanico and is probably over La Paz right now.
Very Exciting.
Stayed up late watching the 1947 Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
What a lovely evening.

Very Cool!
It went over "Smell A" very obvious we had clear skies and it showed as very bright white dot moving fast. It was visable for 3-4 minutes starting
around 0843...

my blackberry sucks
There is an iphone app for that!
Great app tells you when to look for ISS.
Also, another great iphone app is good star chart for star gazing.

wooohooo....I stayed up past my bedtime to see it...Juan went out at 9:40 and I said....it's not for another 5 minutes...but I went out to pick our
viewing spot. So I'm kinda looking around at the stars and all of a sudden I see this very strange light travelling en chinga (super rapido) west
south west and pretty low on the horizon....it wasnt bright but was like a fuzzy gray light but zooming across the sky at warp speed....so I've got
this light in the binoculars and Juan says...there it is up above and I'm arguing that I have it in my sights in the binocs and Juan keeps insisting
HE sees it above...so I look up and see the real ISS....big and bright in all her glory tracking across the sky a few minutes early....so my question
is....what the heck was that other thing I saw....gotta be an OMNI!!!! cool man...anybody else see it?

One of the major attractants of Baja to me...is the clear night skies. You folks that live down there full time (I am a part timer).....you lucky
dogs!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

It was very bright over Punta Banda and visible for approx 3 minutes until hiding behind clouds southeast. Mostly clear night was great for watching
fireworks around the area.
Thanks for the notice, Elgatoloco.

I don't do cellphones, I'm one of those nuts who sincerely thinks we're in for an epidemic of brain tumors at some future date. I still have an
old-fashion landline connected by cable for a home phone, too.
I know, how antiquated of me. I did miss the flyover, but it was cloudy all day and probably still was at the appointed time. How's that for sour
grapes?

I did not see it due to my inland position w/trees obscuring the western sky, although I was looking mostly towards the west. Did anyone see the
Space Station?

I saw it over Rosarito Beach at 8:45pm. Too overcast for the moon and stars- but the ISS streaked across bright as day.

Shari, I will have to paraphrase a post I saw here on forum awhile back.
"Yeah, I saw it too. While I was taking out the empties".
Does that help at all?
