I took the family out to the Hobbs observatory a few months ago and it passed overhead. It was visible at or near the horizon but went 'dark' as it passed directly over us, very cool.

I managed to see it a couple of years ago, during one of supply runs. You could see the ISS and the supply orbiter as 2 separate objects, passing overhead. They weren't visible long enough to tell if they were about to dock, or if they were separating. Pretty cool.
