Visible Sighting

Hi I'm new to the club, only joined today. Just wanted to share my experience with everyone. Last Night at around 9pm I went out to our back garden and looked up at the sky to see if any stars were visible yet.
My breath was taken away at the sight of what looked like a huge star, I knew it couldnt be Sirius, it was too big.. I went to get my husband who, upon seeing the bright object in the sky, was convinced it was the International Space Station.
He went on the web to visit a tracking site he'd found a while ago. When he saw the position of The I.S.S. he knew, that the bright star was definatelt the I.S.S.
