ISS and Space-related discussion

Finally - I saw it! Just for a few minutes before cloud cover got in the way
 
Great view of it heading towards us before it faded as it lost the sun reflection...
Ah, it was the loss of reflection? I thought it was cloud. It was really sparkling for a bit though as it clipped along
 
Yeah, I believe the light you see is reflection of sunlight....someone with better knowledge than me will confirm
 
Yes, reflected sunlight, but it went behind cloud as it passed over, on a clear sky I can still see it as it passes over Poland.

That makes sense. It was very “sparkly” when you could see it, but it was a bit like the lights went out with the cloud. SWMBO was out watching it with me and thought it was “sudden” too.
 
My app says its going over again at 22:20
Are you using the GoISSWatch app? I downloaded it following a recommendation on this thread last year. For the first time ever it pinged me around 20:00 to say ISS was due over in two mins!!!
