On March 19, the International Space Station made a flight from SW to NE starting over Bethany, Oklahoma. It reached a max altitude of 66° at 20:44:43 and a brightness of -3.4.
The weather was tolerable, but not great for a sighting. Large cloud groups wandered past, leaving small but clear spots now and again. At 20:46:21 I saw a white spot crossing the sky. At first thought it was an airliner, but was to high for that. I Finally realized it was the ISS skipping between the clouds just visible. It passed to my west (west of the lake) as I view it. The moon, a crescent, was low in the sky to the east.
