Hi Ron , I'd agree with the ballooon theory , having seen a couple of ISS transits recently I can certainly confirm that the station zips across the solar disk in less than a second , even on a full "crossing"....and anything much further out , 10,000km plus , would be invisible to all but the very large aperture scopes.
