Did anyone in the SW states area happen to catch these two last night? When they passed over last night you could see the shuttle had purged what I would guess was water or maybe excess fuel and it looked like a comet tail, it was huge. Unfortunately I was not set up to shoot it as I had no clue that would be visible last night.

Great catch! How fast was it travelling across the skies (compared to say... a commercial jet)?

Fairly close to a high altitude jet in speed I would say as it went across the sky. But obviously about 240 miles up and moving 17k per hour :)

Very nice catch
maybe flared due to her rollover for re-entry?

IIRC, they did vent extra fuel as part of the prep for coming home...

The flare may have been due simply to the large cloud it created as it vented. I don't believe it actually burned.

Couple of shuttle missions ago, NASA posted the arrival inspection roll over maneuver and even sped up (10x I think...) it took ten minutes to complete.

The really cool part was watching the Earth rotate in the background. Started over Europe and ended over Asia somewhere.
