They're dropping flares. I should have posted it here so nobody thought the ISS exploded as it passed by.

I saw it. It must have been countermeasure type flares though. Illuminating flares tend to be in a linear formation. These were like an inverted "V". Right after I saw them, I was looking at the stars and saw the ISS fly over. You can see it again tonight at 8:49 pm about 35 degrees above the horizon....if it's not cloudy.
