ISS is bright

VERY bright!

I was really impressed by ISS a few minutes ago here over Chicago. 
At its best, it was mag -2 at *LEAST*. I was intrigued by how 
rapidly it faded down to mag 1.0 and then increased again to 
mag 0 for a few seconds. The phase angle is becoming more and 
more important.

I experimented with a polarizing filter but I didn't see much
interesting. Has anyone seen any interesting polarization 
effects when observing satellites?
