Bright light in sky?
 

I live near the east coast and just lately I have noticed a very
bright light in the sky. It is roughly in the East and appears to be
too bright to be a star. Does anyone know what it is?

Thanks but I don't think it is a star etc. I was wondering if the
space lab could be around that area?

The sites I sent will also point out planets.
No, you can't see the ISS with the naked eye unless you know exactly
where to look and then it would only be a small dot.

And it would be moving a lot faster than the stars and planets even if
you could see it.

Yes, you can see it with the naked eye. Sure, it has to be a very clear
night.

http://www.esa.int/esaHS/ESA0I6KE43D_iss_0.html
"Spotting the ISS with the naked eye is not as difficult as it might
seem - providing you know in which direction to look. Although the ISS
travels at a speed of 7.7 km per second it is in one of the lowest
orbits possible - an approximate 390 km above our heads - and thanks to
its large solar wings it is one of the brightest ¡stars¢ making it
fairly easy to distinguish as it visibly moves across the night sky."
