It may be rare to see the Shuttle because of your weather there but
it's
not at all rare for the Shuttle to pass over the northwest US.

Let's see.

About 5 years ago I was watching the local 6 o'clock news. And, the
anchor said the Space Shuttle would be moving overhead ( I live in
southwestern Ohio) in the next 5 minutes or so in the southeastern
sky.

So, my partner and I run out and take a look up.

Sure enough, there was the shuttle streaking past at 17,000 mph. We
only saw it for a few seconds, but it was still an incredible sight!

Whereabouts in SW Ohio?? Sounds like something
Channel 12 might have done. If you're curious about
where I live, let's just say that I'm inundated with
Colerain fans right now.
