you can see the ISIS with your bare eyes. In fact you can see a lot of other sattelites too. I used to lay on the beach when I was on Crete and watch the sattlites go across the sky. It was kinda cool when they entered earth's shadow and weren't visible any longer. If you use a telescope or binocs you can see it more clearly. You can set your watch to the time it takes to orbit. approximately and hour and a half.

Dude satellites are no bigger than a car there's no way you can see them from that far away.

actually that's not true.
Most com sats are the size of a bus.
who knows what the military of various countries have in orbit?
[Space stations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heaviest_spacecraft) are MUCH larger. The [ISIS](https://www.wral.com/weather/video/17144973/)is the largest to date but the Russians and Chinese  have had space stations also (Mir...several tons. you might recall when it de orbited?)

Hell the shuttle was as big as an airplane.
the hubble space sat is larger than a car.
so no...many, many sats are larger than a car
and you can see them with your naked eye if you only look.

A bus or a car, from 300 miles away it won't make a difference.  The moon is 1/4 the size of earth at a supposed 128,000 miles from Earth and it looks no bigger than than an orange in the sky, now you are telling me you are going to (with your naked eye) see a satellite that's the size of a bus that's 300 miles away?  Clearly you have not thought out the scope of the things you reference.

Actually, there are FREE apps that will tell you exactly when/where to look in the night sky, according to your GPS location (not that you believe in such sorcery lol) for you to actually see the I.S.S. plus satellites/ iridium flares that are clearly visible to the naked eye, no binoculars necessary...

Satellites are 300 miles away, what distinguishing features can you see with the naked eye at that distance?
