Captain Obvious

Or last night?
We were heading home from dinner earlier and I didn't know about it, my wife tells me the space station is visible in a few minutes.
So we stood out in the street in Pittsburgh watching the sky. Great night, clear. Out of the north/east it appeared. Racing across the sky, that thing was moving. We watched it - brighter than any other star aside from the moon. Took a pic of it, not sure if it came out though. For about 2 minutes it moved across the sky - west to east, just hugging somewhat north, then it flickered suddenly and vanished.
It was fucking awesome. Me and the kid were walking up the street backwards to maintain view. Neighbors probably thought we were a couple of tards.
