Summary : Seen a object in clear sky.looked like comet coming from south to north.lost tail half way across sky
I am an amatuer astronomer. I have photographed two comets.Spend many hours observing sky. this night i was setting on a bench with my dog Buddy looking at the clear night stars and jupiter,listening to baseball game on radio when a noticed what apeared to be a comet to the south headed north. It looked as if it was moving at satelight speed. I know comets dont move like this but that is what it looked like. ASs it moved to the north the tail begain to fade to nothing.
