Look, up in the sky!!!
Serious at Burning Man HQ is reporting that GeoEye's GE1 Satellite will do a capture over BRC starting at *precisely* 11:45:40 on Friday August 31st. Spread the word!

Re: Look, up in the sky!!!
If you do go out in the street, stand still and spread out something large and bright/light colored. Our neighbors one year waved a flag, but the movement won't show. We can spot our camp because of the configuration and light colors or the carports, but not individuals.

Re: Look, up in the sky!!!
Perfect time and place to suggest this:

Look up what kind of cool shit you may see in the sky during the burn. ISS, Iridium flares, etc.
"Look guys! A UFO!"
There's also meteors:

Soooo ... I'm assuming this is a.m?

Yep.
I can spot where I am in 2010, although not which one of the dozen peeps I am in my grouping, precisely. I am definitely going to see if I can remedy that this time.
