International Space Station - The Blue Quasar, St. Catharines ON - International Space Station Sightings on Waymarking.com

I should start by saying a big thank you to 8Nuts MotherGoose for all their help with figuring this out.

On Dec 19th at 5:58pm EST I went out into the front yard to see if I could find the ISS in the sky as it went soaring past.

Not really knowing what to expect, I stood there with my face turned to the sky in approximately the right direction watching the occational plane fly over.

Then I saw it! A bright light, almost like a star. Actually it seemed brighter than a star, moving across the sky from South West to North East (roughly) and lasted a few minutes.

Fortunately my son, Tae Kwon Dude, had joined me and I pointed out the light in the sky to him. He said "Creepy!"

My pass data can be found at Heaven's Above but is summarized below.
