The ISS... it just flew right over the top of the Villa....!!! OMG, what a fantastic view !

Thanks for the link you gave me the other day. If I hadn't just checked it a couple of minutes ago, I wouldn't have known it was due to fly over us. xxx

Yes about 200 miles above the earth.,

It must be going about 8,000 miles per hour or something. I just looked like a big bright star...

[webbo3]

brightest object in the sky when its overhead, once you spot it you cant mistake it.

this is the height of the iss, as squad said about 200 miles.
