At 6.25 am I looked at the schedule for the ISS and saw that it was to go over at 6.27 with a 4 minute window. I rushed outside just in time to see it exactly as is described in the schedule.
It was 20 degrees above the north horizon and I was able to see it for a couple of min.
The best time previously was Sat. Feb.22 at 5.33am when it would have been almost directly overhead for 2 min. the problem on that day was heavy overcast.
This time it wasn't the Florida hoax.
I was hoping to see somebody looking out the window at me but I guess they were too busy with frivolous chores.
What I had for the web site was wrong. Wendy has put the correct address in the comment section

So did it just look like a light or could you tell what it was?
After so many overcast days, I forgot to look!
I clicked on the site you have marked and where do I put in my town?
FG It looked like a regular satellite except it appeared brighter and larger.
It matched the locate description on the sighting info.
CG I don't know, I couldn't find the same info when I tried SO I sent a message to Ken on Facebook to find out how he got it.
FG Will you ask Ken how to find the sighting info
