Good Evening,

Last night, between 7 & 8 p.m., my family and I as well as my parents
(who are located
5 hours away) observed a comet. Our location was Tampa Florida. We
simply walked
outside, pretty much looked straight up, and there it was. I've seen
comets before and
this looked like one. However over the course of the hour it faded
and by 8 p.m. it was completely gone. Does anyone have an
explanation? Please e-mail me davidfays...@xxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you

Just wanted you to know that my self, (a US Coast Guard licensed Yatch
Captain), and 18 of my passenger and crew saw this image as well. We
were stationary in the Bahamian waters 60 nautical miles east of
Miami.Have not gotten an explaination yet but would love one. I do
know it was no weather ballon. We were able to veiw this object with
some high power binoculars. The object was pointing to the west
respectivly but was so much farther out than our atmosphere.
