<p>Hi e1, <br /> Nice to be here. </p><p>I have a question for you folks.<br /> I live in Oregon west of Portland. In the evening I go outside and look west and about 40 to 45 deg up in the sky and there is a very bright object. I can see it just before sunset, not even near dark yet. I see it night after nigh. It lasts a few hours (aprox 5-6 hrs) then moves north west in the sky. <br /> Anyone know what it is? I would guess it's the ISS or a satelite...but I wanted to ask folks with knowledge. So here I am asking.<br /> Thank you in advance for your input and I will check back tonight or tomorrow.<br /> Roy</p>
