'Missed it! A bit late getting in position by small tree for binoc. prop and was looking a bit too far toward North for it; made a sweep a little more South and there it was! Couldn't get binoc. on it before it zipped behind tree tops to SE.

Hey, at least I didn't mention anything about any "probing".

I watched with naked eye a very bright and fast-moving star-like ISS go directly overhead a week or so ago. 'Tried binoculars on it, but couldn't hold 'em steady enough.

BTW, it reminds me: Early one morning in winter of '77, I was eastbound across southern edge of Mojave Desert west of Victorville, CA, and suddenly saw bright flash high in the sky in front of me. I pulled over and stopped to watch more closely. Immediately as I exited the car, I saw the flash again and continued to watch the spot in the sky. 'Could easily see that it was a tumbling rocket; that would flash brightly when the relative angles were in Goldilocks alignment, but I could still see the silvery object between flashes while I knew where to look.

Let us know what happens

Sure.

You can, however, see it yourself.

When viewed from Claremore, the ISS is visible:

Friday, 26 April

       Time     Azimuth (Bearing)   Elevation
Start    20:23:50     290 deg (WNW)
Mid     20:26:40     229 deg (SW)        29 deg
End    20:29:30     165 deg (SSE)


Saturday, 27 April

       Time     Azimuth (Bearing)   Elevation
Start    19:32:50     305 deg (NW)
Mid     19:36:00     228 deg (SW)        64 deg

The visibility on Saturday will be better for you. The times, of course,
are 24-hour times.
