Try these...
ISS. first one shows where in the world it is;

second one - put in your location and it'll tell you when the visible passes are - I watched one last autumn (and then, knowing what it was, I realised I'd seen one befrorehand and wondered at the time 'what the hell was that!' (too fast, to far away and too bright to be an aircraft! The bright ones are at dusk. It's VERY accurate - use in conjunction with the tracker in real-time and you'll be thinking 'OK, any moment now and then, bingo...right on cue'. Well, it's not like there's any roadworks up there, I suppose.

Oh, and there's Iridium flares - to explain those strange daylight, sun-bright flashes in the sky... probably.
Enjoy.
