I Observed the same pass from Falcon, CO. First saw ISS at about 00:51:30 UT. Much brighter than Deneb. Perhaps approaching Jupiter but lots of thin clouds hampered that determination. It was a 73 degree elevation pass at azimuth 221. I looked for a major flaring but did not note one. Just normal brightening as it got higher.
