| Remarks | I was driving towards Chillicothe Ohio from Jackson. On 35 was about to get off on the Athens exit ,going towards Londonderry,when in the sky, which was very clear that night , I saw up to my left in the sky what I thought was a red bright shooting star. But it had a sparkly tail ...so I assume it was a comet. |
