I was out on a dark road near a vineyard in Solano County.  10:47 UT 
Out of the Northwest I saw an incoming red glow over the hills of Napa
County.  The glow continued to approach us with a red/orange glow of
magnitude -7 .  As it passes 45 miles overhead, the Space Shuttle Endeavor
was at maximum burn during re-entry to its Florida destination.  The shuttle
continued to cross overhead in brilliant orange, leaving a long milky streak
which was visible more than 2 minutes.  The shuttle passed by for two minutes
as I gazed in awe at our technolgy.  I waited 5 minutes more and heard
 "pop," a sonic boom. 20 minutes later I watched the landing on CNN !
