I missed it last night, but I've seen it and other satellites fairly regularly. Try this website if you're interested in other satellites you can see: http://www.heavens-above.com/
The Iridium flares are pretty cool. Best is when the shuttle is in orbit - once in a great while you can see the shuttle and the space station flying in formation as the shuttle approaches the space station or departs.

I have seen it several times before, but I didn't look last night. It looks like a bright star moving across the sky at about the same speed as a high flying airliner. No telescope is needed.

I don't have a telescope, and I don't have an eagle's eyes.
