I just saw it for the first time!:scared: Awesome. 2.5X brighter than Sirius I would say.
Time: 4:46AM Travelling SE.
I went straight to heavens above & confirmed it.
I have video footage of it too lol. (I'll process that one later, right now I'm doing Saturn) ;)

Hi John,
It certainly is an impressive sight,The first time I saw it,I thought the ALIENS were coming,as I knew NO aircraft we had, could travel that fast.
I didn,t even think of the ISS at the time,in fact didn,t even know then,it was visible to the naked eye.
Regards.
John

Here we go Mr. Ving!:) Not a good pic but considering the circumstances, I thank me lucky stars I got anything at all.
When I first spotted it it was at zenith, I reckon I lost 7 secs running in to grab the kodak.
24 stacked images outa 200. Looks like I got a star in there too!
