Default Secret X-37B Space Plane Spotted by Amateur Skywatchers

heavens-above.com listed a mag-3.1 visible pass here last evening, but
although the skies were clear, I didn't see anything naked-eye.

Given that the flying-twinkie-watchers admit they only have the orbit
approximated, maybe the timing or something was just off... or maybe
the 90% illuminated moon washed things out too much for me to pick it up.
