Your standard time zone is GMT-5, but Daylight Saving time was in effect on the date of your observation, so Heavens-Above used GMT-4. I ran IDSat searches against a couple of different points along the predicted path of ISS, but found no likely matches. Certainly nothing from ISS. A few unrelated, tiny pieces of debris were in the vicinity, but it is highly improbable that they would have flashed as rapidly and brightly as you reported. Considering that you were a beginner at the time, and that the pass was fairly low, could you have seen the flashing lights of a distant aircraft?
