yes it was haze at my place also. Did see it Straight up for about 15 sec.
I add tracker site that shows where it at live over the earth. Current position of the ISS Usually get several optima views each month early in the morning and late in the evening if you use the spot the ISS site. IF it was clear night you would see Bright star looking object traveling 18,000 MPH about the same speed of meteor or meteorite when it strikes the earth |

Had nice view of ISS late night at 9:15 pm. Nice clear evening. Using the locator On my IPAD viewing wsw as it left central Mexico and started a cross the gulf as it appeared at 60 degree WSW. It's path took it just south of Destin FL. And when reached full 80 degree over head it was over Alanta ga. View time ws about 6 mins. As it exited NNEit was over NYC hedging out over the Atlantic Ocean.
