Remarks
A small light like an airplane caught my eye and the moment I brought my attention to it, I saw a bright and broad flash. It was the most incredible sight I\'ve seen in the sky next to a comet. The light spread out with fingers and then just as quickly it completely disappeared. It did not fade out like a firework. It expanded with the brightest light I\'ve seen and then shrunk back to black.
