[Mass Effect] Was Shepherd the first human Spectre, or was Captain Anderson also a Spectre?

Edit: As I play the game, I'm currently looking at "Asari Councilor: You are the first human Spectre, Commander.  This is a great accomplishment for you and your entire species."

But I seem to remember Captain Anderson saying something about being a Spectre with Saren, and commenting on his bloodthirsty, get-the-job-done-at-all-costs ways.  Was Anderson a Spectre?

Anderson's mission with Saren was a test to see if he would become a Spectre. Saren sabotaged the mission, and Anderson was denied true Spectre status. 

Shepard is the first human spectre, but not the first human to be considered for the position.
