I was leaving for work at 5:00am on 09/22/2006, & stopped at the front gate to look at the absolutely beautiful predawn sky. I like to do this because I can see so many stars from this area. As some of you know, I live on my parents 800 acre sheep ranch in east central Az, about 25 miles east of Snowflake Az. As I stood there I saw a fast moving point of light coming from the west & heading just north of east. (I did not have a compass, so this was a judgment call). I knew instantly it was the ISS, but just to make sure, after work I Googled �ISS Sightings� & came up with the NASA website below. Sure enough the ISS made a pass at that time & in that direction. This has been just the first time I have seen it, as I plan on looking more often now. Believe me it was beautiful & inspirational. If anybody else has seen it, lets hear about your sighting.<br /><br />http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/cities/skywatch.cgi?country=United+States <br /><br />(I tried to load a map of my location, but the file was too big. Snowflake is halfway between Holbrook & Show Low on AZ Highway 77 in southern Navajo County, & I live about 25 miles east of town in the direction of St Johns) <br /><br />edit <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#993300"><span class="body"><font size="2" color="#3366ff"><div align="center">. </div><div align="center">Never roll in the mud with a pig.
