You ever look in the night sky and see a satellite moving across the sky? That thing is probably the size of small car and yet you see it 300 miles up. That's because light is reflected much easier at night. If you can see something the size of a car at night, you can see something the size of a football field.
So yeah he's right.
I've never seen a satellite in my life, especially on the ISS livestream.
Go out into the dark field at night. Devoid of any light pollution. Clear skies. Look at the stars. What looks like a star but is noticably moving across the sky is a satellite. And there you go. You'll have seen a satellite for the first time.
