Somewhere Out There... (Updated)

Natalie's dad informed us that the International Space Station would be soaring over Seattle tonight. All the stars aligned (no pun intended) allowing us a great view of the station right outside our apartment. Seattle's sunset happens so late in the summer that by the time the station passed over the sun's light was still reflecting on it. Making it look like a bright star gliding through the sky. It was pretty cool I must say! Ben insisted I take a video, although it just looks like a little dot. So if you are interested here you go:

Here is an article about the station with a link to check out when there might be a sighting in your area!
Edit:
Ben and I went out tonight to
look for the space station but
I think it was still to bright to
see anything. I should mention
that Ben's mom and dad were
able to see it pass over in Utah!
Here is the time for tomorrow's
sighting, it's supposed one of the best:

That sounds pretty neat! I've never seen one of those before so, thanks for informing all of us.
