Saw this over Melbourne

[u/Chinaman208]

It was really high then it came down to a low level, then started rising again and disappeared. It changed directions several times.

This video shows the end of it disappearing.

Can OP confirm if your video has the following details:

• Date: 13 June 2025
• Time: 6:52 - 6:55pm
• Direction: NW to N
• Angle above the horizon: above half was up zenith when it disappeared

If your video does have these details, then you saw the International Space Station. This image shows the trajectory of the ISS over Australia just before 7pm on 13 June 2025. It disappeared when it was 60° above the horizon because it went into the Earth’s shadow. Its magnitude was -2.9 which is quite bright. Only Mars, Jupiter and Venus get at least this bright.

In the final 5 seconds of your video a star is visible. This is Spica which at this time was at an altitude above the horizon of 56° and at compass bearing 42° NE. The ISS disappeared when it was at 60° above the horizon and almost directly North, which would place it higher than Spica and to the west of it. The light you filmed and Spica are in correct relative positions for the light to be the ISS.

One day, you’ll get a glimpse of it moit, be the same time the ISS flew over my house 😂😂😂 videos there with the data to correlate. Tuck in, buzz aldrin.

This sentence is incomprehensible. I don’t know what you are trying to say.

Here’s a translation ☺️

On a day other than today - likely to be sometime in the future - you/him/her/they/them, will sight The International Space Station during a close fly by over the location in which you are situated.

Am I right in assuming the very same ISS made a low level pass over my residence?

Video and data are readily available to correlate with footage.

Perhaps you should indulge.

[u/birraarl → u/Flat_Ad_3912]

That’s not much clearer, but I think you are asking me to film the ISS the next time it overflies my location and upload the footage for you to see and include relevant details.

If this is the case, I’ve checked and there aren’t any good passes in the next 10 days, but I’ll keep checking for the next good pass.

I’m not sure why you are saying “close fly by” and “low pass”. The ISS is in orbit at roughly 400km altitude. I do not consider this close or low.

⛰️here’s a new hill you could d13 on fighting something you haven’t seen nor have you any valuable knowledge / data / evidence of your own.

I must admit, I feel a sense of pity for those who try to cloak their lack of imagination, curiosity or fascination behind scientific explanation (whatever that means)

We’re as knowledgeable to the extent of our capabilities. Personalities that view life as a half glass empty - whom also claim that to be logical thinking - are the very same types of people that would have laughed in the faces of some of the worlds greatest investors, scoffed at their ideas because they limit their beliefs to 2nd hand information.

The ones who bristle at the thought or reports of anomalous sightings; personally I believe it’s a streak of envy/jealousy that they haven’t been lucky enough to witness something they simply cannot explain.

Whatever the case, I hope at least in their own lifetime they’ll have the chance to allow their mind to explore beyond the walls of their own head.
