i saw it here in RI too, and yes it was about 7 min after the launch, pretty quickly! now, you said you had a clear view of it, I did for the 1st minute or so, then it seemed to almost blink, but with a delay: we would see it, then it would disappear, then i'd see it again further east... did you see this? i thought it was a clear night too, then I was thinking maybe there were some clouds...
