In Donna, TX., I had three senior citizen guests to observe this ISS Pass. The clouds had moved out of the way and we had clear sky, but I could tell that there was a lot of haze. We didn't spot the ISS until it was about 45° above the horizon to the SW. I gave information to my guests about the ISS. I also told them that I had a partner in Allentown, PA. who was also observing this same ISS Pass.
One of my guests said she had a sister who lives 20 miles north of Allentown. A phone call was made. We watched the ISS disappear into the NE. A few minutes later her sister called back, "I SEE IT! I SEE IT! IT WAS RIGHT WHERE YOU TOLD ME TO LOOK! I'M STILL WATCHING IT!"
