    Love watching it come over on a clear night.

    A few years ago my old housemate discovered the app and for about 2 weeks, all 4 of us living there watched virtually every passing, even setting alarms in the middle of the night. There's something really magical about it.

    Knowing that people are on board, living and working, is mind boggling.

    Think I’ve just seen it ? Couldn’t see any flashing lights indicating it might have been a plane
