Observing Satellites and Jets

Hi all! I'm new to observing satellites in the sky. I had a question -
when I see a light at night move in the sky and it does not blink, is that a
good chance it's a satellite? Do all passenger aircraft have lights that
blink? I saw something move across the sky last night while I was
attempting to find a satellite. I don't think I saw the satellite but I did
see a non blinking light move across the sky. Since it was not blinking I
was wondering if what I saw was a satellite.

Also, In the mid-west - Indiana. Will I be able to observe satellites
that are suppose to be viewable to me around 9:30pm? Something like the
Lacrosse satellite?

Thanks
