At approximately12: 15 P.M. the Endeavor was flying over my backyard. I thought that I would have to wait until October to see the craft. Imagine my delight when I looked upwards to see what was that heavy droning sound. To my delight it was the Endeavor. I yelled for my husband to come and see. A few of my neighbors were also viewing the awesome sight. We got a seriously good view of the craft.
