Bright lite with spikes in sky 6:30 pm
Anyone else see the bright lit spike thing in the northern sky? Its not a plane or planet.
We never see these this far south, but could this have been what you saw?

Them or those! Finally found a link with correct dates of when the space station can be seen. And that was it!
Here is the link to ISS. I receive text message notifications when the ISS is passing over the area.

Scott,The space station has a spike shape to it. I would see it in dec. About 15 yrs ago on top of schooleys mtn. When i got the correct link it made sense. Wish i could post it but it wont send to here. So no ufo freak out! Yet

You will receive a text message notification when the International Space Station will be visible in your area.
This is a sample message: (SpotTheStation) Time: Mon Jan 06 6:37 AM, Visible: 4 min, Max Height: 60 degrees, Appears: NW, Disappears: E
That was the most recent time it was visible in our area. It will look like a star (the sun is reflecting off the ISS) but it will move in a straight line across the sky. It does not leave a trail.
Yes, it was the ISS. We were watching NJ News12 and they said it would be visible at 6:37pm. I went outside at that time and sure enough we watched it move across the entire sky. It was brighter than any star....very cool. We waved, but I'm not sure if they saw us! haha
