Next, I'm going to callibrate the optical system so I can determine
a range, and therefore an approximate altitude. I have a hunch it
wasn't flying very high, as at zenith I could still make out it's shape
clearly naked eye.

OK, just computed a range. She was indeed at 70,000 feet or
thereabouts.

I'm really surprised that when she flew by that I could make
it out naked eye at that altitude.

No, I'm not worth $6 million.
