| Remarks | The comet was a brilliant yellow-white and it seemed to be quite low in the sky. At first I thought it was a small bi-plane until I realized how fast it was travelling and that it was a bright, bright comet. It was very close to the highway and seemed low in the sky, similar in area to where small planes fly. |
