There were some low cotton balls to the SW but the one that was in front of the Sun moved through quickly.

This was definitely bright enough (mag -3) that I should have noticed it even if I had not been looking right at it. I could see from Arcturus all the way over to Sirius so shouldn’t have missed it. |

The ISS was supposed to pass close to Regulus at mag 1.2 which is slightly brighter than regulus itself (mag 1.3) so it also should have been seen. |

My prediction data came from CalSky late last week and it is possible that the position of ISS has been changed since then for the arriving Progress capsule but the Iridium should have been there.
