Remarks I was standing in my driveway looking at the stars like I do every night when I saw what I thought was lightening. I did not see the comet itself just a huge flash in the SE sky. I waited to hear thunder but there was none. I then checked the radar on my cell and there was nothing in the area at all. Thought it very odd until tonight when I watched a youtube video about an Ohio Comet and I knew right away that is what I saw.
