I've been pointing out satellites to the pilots I fly with for as long as I can remember. It amazes me how many people "had no idea" that you could actually see a satellite with your eyes.
Best time to catch them is within 3-4 hours before sunrise or after sunset. As the Earth's shadow moves across the sky with the sun, it takes with it the light needed to reflect off of the objects.
Check out Heavens Above. A great website for spotting and tracking Earth orbiting objects.
