It was really hazy here tonight, but limiting magnitude was about 2, so the ISS, at -1.5, really stood out. It was rather orangish-red in color, and totally unmistakable as anything else. Especially since we knew exactly where to look and when.
There are a bunch of sighting opportunities for North America over the next several days, as these things tend to cluster. Go to Heavens Above and enter the pertinent data. You'll find a sighting opportunity this week, no problem.
