I remember around 15 years ago my brother told me he was lying down looking at the stars at night and saw a satellite. I didn't believe him at first, but confirmed that satellites can indeed be seen with naked eye sometimes. I later knew about the ISS and Iridium flares, but assumed it was a freak event to just see one by chance.
When looking for the aurora recently I was shocked to notice that you'll see multiple satellites within seconds of looking at the sky, during twilight, in a town with plenty of light pollution. People should take a look tonight. You don't need to see pictures like in the article to see how many satellites there are.
