Missed it here.
Regarding the ISS I was in Brisbane on the 5th of Jan and around 7:30pm (8:30pm EDST) I witnessed what I thought to be the ISS passing NW-SE overhead as it was atleast as bright as the brightest star but after checking with Heavens Above it seems that was not the case.
Anyone else from the area view this? T'was not an airplane and if it was a sattelite it is the brightest I have ever seen.
Thanks,
Mike.
