I saw ISS some time after 11pm from my back garden here in Glasgow. The
J-Pass website says it rose at ~11.27 and set 10 mins later, reaching
about 30 degs above horizon for my site. Must have been the next pass
after your sighting.

As you say, it was incredibly bright - at first I thought it was a
fireball or meteor, but I was able to follow it with binocs until it
gradually faded into the Earth's shadow. First time I have seen it for
maybe a year or longer - very impressive. If it is clear tonight (not
very likely given recent conditions) I will make a point of trying to
catch another pass (10.12pm BST).
