ISON was practically right on top of Spica this morning. I'm not surprised that he couldn't see it, even at 30 or 40 thousand feet. It would have been lost in the star's glare, visually, with bright moonlight doing as much damage as strong light pollution.

A friend who flies for Southwest said he looked for it from high above the clouds and artificial light pollution this morning but could not see it.
