My gut feeling is, "yes" it is brighter than I've recalled in the past.
I haven't observed the ISS for over a month and this evening (21:05 local ,
01:05 UTC) with a not so totally dark sky it appeared significantly brighter
(mag -4?) on the descent along with a marvelous flare to around -6?.

Perhaps the northern latitudes are seeing greater illumination for this time
of the season. Any comments from those in the southern latitudes?
