I went out to see the shuttle at 5AM today and saw a light pass
from about SSW to NW as planned.  However, it passed directly overhead
and I only expected an inclination of 45 degrees.  I was impressed
with how many other lights were moving across the sky at that
hour.  I thought airports had curfews at that hour.  Also, they
seemed too high to be SFO or SJC traffic and I do not think I could
see planes en route to Hawaii or some other distant destination.
Any comments?  Could the shuttle have had that high an inclination?
What could the other dots have been?
