It looked like one light to me Colin, strange how it just disappears in a blink...

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Todays times! for Wednesday....

Wednesday the 6th of February Sighting of ISS at 6:30pm

OK Chance of seeing the International Space Station Wednesday at 6:30pm weather permitting for 4 minutes, it's at an angle of about 27 degrees for Sheffield, so anywhere South of that it will be higher in the sky and anywhere North it will be lower in the sky.

As per usual to see it, go outside and face South, the ISS will be a bright steady white light that crosses the sky from West to East.
