Kevin: It took three views, but I finally saw it. I would say that's the ISS. The path is straight, the size is consistent. Remember that image that was taken last year of the ISS/Atlantis just after separation as it transited the sun? It looked pretty big compared to the sun. This looks about right for ISS. http://www.astrophoto.fr/iss_atlantis_transit.html - page for reference. Thanks for the video.
