    Was driving to the shops sometime between 18.15-18.40 this evening and my daughter noticed a 'bright plane' in the sky, south east direction. It was too bright and moving too fast for a plane. Also disappeared between half and 3/4 way across sky. I presumed ISS but didnt seem as fast as the passes i watched before. Another satellite perhaps? I tried looking up on line but could get accurate passes for that time.
    Thanks

    Yes, the ISS was visible in or around that time over the Dublin area this evening. Nice one, haven't seen it in a while myself.
