I remember ringing a mate last year to tell him it was in the sky. He was down the Hume highway from Canberra fuelling up at a servo at the time. He asked the attendant if she had ever seen it and she said no. He said, "My mate just rang and says it's in the sky in a minute." The whole servo emptied (including the attendant) and all the people in their cars all stopped for a look and were amazed.
Yes, it is quite the spectacle and intrigue to know that bright, fast-moving star in the sky has people aboard for months on end.
