The Sun shined over the top of the Earth and kept the ISS lit during its pass over the Atlantic Ocean.
Flight Time difference between the two points - 21 minutes and 27 seconds. Total Distance - 6435 miles = 10,356 km.

Our sky was clear but had a lot of humidity haze. We didn't spot the ISS until it was above 45° to our SW. It brightened quickly as it climbed above us, where it was very bright. As it continued to the NE it faded quickly and disappeared into the haze.
A neighbor arrived home just in time to join us to observe the ISS.

Alfouine had no problems and also saw the ISS pass over him.
