I saw the same pass, 17:11L (01:11 UTC), from my location, halfway up Vancouver Island, with an azimuth of 156ø and elevation of 65ø but i did not see any distinctive reddish tint to ISS, more of a pale orange, almost 'natural' colour. However a couple of days earlier as ISS was coming out of the SW it had a reddish/orange shade to it as had been reported earlier by others.
