Father Christmas will be visable tonight! IT'S TRUE!!!
Ok, maybe not, but the ISS is passing over the UK tonight and should be easy to see.
Kids might believe it's something more festive. .. http://metro.co.uk/2014/12/24/britai...night-4998295/ Pete; )

Probably a bit late but a more accurate way to check is Spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings
Go on enter your locale and it tells you when you should be able to see it. Used it for the neice and nephew last year and went down a treat!

I'm glad someone saw it.
Five minutes before the event, slashing, icy rain arrived. Five minutes afterwards, clear, starry skies! Meh. Pete

Re: Father Christmas will be visable tonight! IT'S TRUE!!!
We're watching Ancient Aliens, Santa is probably just piloting a UFO.
I don't have a chimney, this may be a problem.

Re: Father Christmas will be visable tonight! IT'S TRUE!!!
Had a great view of it in Stratford Upon Avon on Xmas eve around 18:20 even from the middle of town.
Seen it a few times before but this was the brightest I've seen it. Downloaded an ISS Detector app for my phone which alerts 5 mins before a visible pass and gives you the height to look at. Pretty amazing when you consider its 431km high.

Well if you think it was Santa you saw then you're probably dreaming. Ask the Doctor, he knows.
