I am an avid space watcher. this one was the longest Ive ever seen. For a moment I thought it would end up in the Gulf of Mexico! Very cool sighting and probably my best one yet. 5-6 seconds long. Ive sort of trained myself to count when I see them and really pay attention to what it does and soforth. Im certain others seen this one!
