If you search for ISS sightings options online you will find only listed the ones that are easily visible to naked eye, that is why ISS daylight sightings are usually not listed since it will be very hard to spot it with naked eye, but not in IR as it happened here, only in heavens-above we found a way to search for ISS daylight sightings and found an exact match for this object on the sighting time, altitude and azimuth as can be verified with the following information, we did know that there was a very low ISS pass over Miami at 7:36pm, and this object was spotted around 6:01pm but then we remembered that ISS complete a full orbit in 90 minutes, one hour and 30 minutes and that is the time difference between these two times, too much coincidence, then we searched a little more(we did our homework) and found the following match. We are human after all and we make mistakes but we are really willing to correct the mistakes with the right information at hand.

We have then that ISS had a daylight pass on 09/25/18 starting at 5:54pm and reached maximal altitude of 48° at 6:00pm on the SE portion of the sky:

Maximum altitude 18:00:10  48°129° (SE)

 Then it set at 6:03pm on the NE portion of the sky:

Drops below altitude 10°  18:03:21  10°53° (NE)

We spotted ISS at 6:01pm after it reached its maximal altitude and was dropping in the East, North East portion of the sky.
