Shape to ISS with naked eye?

Question

I tracked when the International Space Station would be flying overhead, and when I finally saw it with the naked eye, I could very faintly make out a shape, and it looked like the shape it really is.

Am I just imagining things, or can you really see the shape of the ISS some 200 miles up there, with just your eyes?

Answer 1

Most likely it was your imagination. I've looked at the ISS several times and it always just looks like a slowly moving dot to me.
