| Remarks | This was the biggest comet, etc I have ever seen in real time. Long sparky tail, bright glowing body that looked like it was breaking apart. So big I truly expected to hear an explosion whe it landed. Sort of scary actually. I was yelling, \"%Oh my gosh\" so loud my daughter came out of her housr thinking I was being attacked. What did I just witness? I must know! Glowing train. All happened so fadt. Hope someone captured this on film. |
