What a fantastic world this is.

It came from the East, travelling over the northern sky in a NNW direction. Watch 1 reported it first time at 20-30h on the evening of Sunday 19th Oct. 2009. It was first a collection of diffused lights, like a swarm of mosquitos, surrounded by 2 fast and vast expanding circles of light, getting all stronger and stronger the closer it got. When passing north of us, one could clearly see a sharp light at the front end, like a spear, followed by a tale of exploding lights : The tale of a comet !!!!!!!!!!!!!! it disappeared with enormous speed in a NW direction, where it continued to glow for quite some time. Now we have no idea about its name, so if any reader of this blog has got a clue, let us know.


Last thought : How might people have reacted to this 2000 or more years ago. Scared ? Delighted ? A sign from the gods? Who knows, so let's be happy that we know what it is.
