International space station
The space station just went over my house traveling from the west to the north east. It is probably able to be seen in eastern Indiana to Ohio right now. Very bright, very fast.

Yeah, I just noticed that. But remember, the ISS has a 90-minute orbital period. Backtrack what you see on the screen NOW to where it would have been when the OP was outside looking up

When I saw it it was going over Louisville so it was well North West of you at that time. Maybe next time. I really wasn't all that excited about it but my wife made me go out and watch for it. What I was excited about was that earlier she had said "Tonight's the NIGHT".
