We had been tracking the ISS ( International Space Station ) lately and we both had seen it a couple of times through the week, clear skies and no full moon made for a great opportunity to watch it fly through the skies. We wrapped up and headed out in the car to see if I could capture it on the camera. Right on time it appeared from the west, arcing up in the sky, heading towards the Orion constellation where it disappeared into the Earth's shadow. We also saw several satellites flashing in the sky, almost like lightening strikes.
