Not a great observation, but a fun 1!

I had just gone to bed in our camper.  My 15 y/o daughter (she knows
satellites) yelled from outside "there is a white line going across the
sky!". My being too lazy to get up but aware (of launch) enough to know
asked my wife "what time is it.". 2304 local time on 15 May.  After we got
home I confirmed that her UFO could have been from this launch.

The previous evening I watched the L27 train shoot by.  I didn't note any
observations, the fish were biting.

Obs location

45.9289
-93.2664
