I didn't see this one, but I saw one not too long ago that crossed from
horizon to horizon (minus some trees on either end) in what seemed to be a
bit less than a minute.  This is in Louisiana, just 10
- 12 minutes or so from landing.

There is no comparison to high-flying jets, which are hardly moving
compared to the shuttle.
