This is your specialty David, I thought it would be your thread

There’s a great app calls ISS Detector that uses your location and tells you exactly where it will be in the sky

Love watching it go by here in Georgia. You can see it a lot if you follow an app or the website. The best is when it’s dusk and flies over for the full 7 mins....looks awesome and really puts things into perspective

I’m in Nola and it flew over for about 40 seconds plus...clear skies end to end.

saw it again, awesome!!! Thanks for the reminder. a couple items I think about when I see the ISS flyovers is:
1) I recall working inside the U.S. Lab at KSC and the JEM in Tsukuba, Japan... so I am looking at my own handiwork (in a small way)
but also...
2) to fit in the Flat Earth theory, part of which is that the space program is a hoax... and since NASA publishes all ISS viewing times around the globe, thus, some nefarious government airplane would have to be:
- constantly in flight
- so I guess being refueled 2-3 times a day
- shaped like the ISS (because of telescope viewers)
- which would be completely un-aerodynamic (so far fetched)
- and still, the altitude-angle problem would conflict (by that I mean that the ISS is always in the predicted location, so no airplane could actually duplicate that for all earth-bound viewers... thus proving it is actually a spacecraft)
All that being said, the Flat Earth theory is disproved simply by looking at the NASA ISS viewing site, and having a few observers in different locations report what they saw.
