I have actually seen the ISS just after a shuttle had undocked. It was in
Florida one 4th July and we had been sitting on a grass banking watching the
fireworks, the smoke from the fireworks cleared and we saw these * strange
objects*. It took a little while to realise what it was, and the sighting as
clear as it was late at night was probably pure luck. According to the next
day's press it was something to do with the sun having set but the ISS was
picking up the reflection of the sun from beyond our horizon.
Yes, I suspect a lot of "UFO sightings" are sun reflections off satellites.

... It might even be the end of NASA itself, as Bush would really like to give "space exploration" over to the hands of the military anyway, rather than that pansy-ass organization that is trying to put up satellites to monitor the Earth's ecology rather than seizing the military high ground of space (did you read that Space Command "High Frontier Journal" BTW?: ...
