Please check out www.celestrak.com .   This is Dr. T.S. Kelso's website for satellite tracking software and keplerian data.   He even has a section (kep file) dedicated to visible satellites.   

You might also want to check out www.iridium.com . There are links to "Iridium Flash" websites, the 15-second blast of light caused by the Sun gleaming off the Iridium's solar array.

I used Dr. Kelso's data to identify a bright Meteo (weather) satellite one evening.  BTW, Dr. Kelso is the Vice Commandant at AFIT and has been present for talks at several Dayton forums.  Check out his bio.
