A lot brighter than I thought it would be..No blinking lights like a plane so I know that it was ISS.

Thanks for pointing this out, we made it a point to take the little guy out and see it. Always cool when this place provides something like that

I went out a little early. 6 planes in 10 minutes with blinking lights.
What I saw around 615 was not blinking but pretty bright. Was that it? moving south east.

You were looking at the right thing. It was so bright because it was the perfect time with it being dark down here but the sun still shining on it.

If it was not moving that was not it. A really bright planet was visible early

That was great!

I didn't realize you could hear its engine and see the blinking lights on it, too.

Yeah it moves a lot faster than a plane. That's how you can tell.
