nah, sorry man, looks like you saw the same thing as myself , Frank and others on the ifas boards saw, a jet airliner catching the sun, a fair number of people saw this apparently !!
Reported views of the comet are barely making naked eye visibility if it all, many report you need binos to see it at all, and no one else in Ireland (IFAS) has seen it despite clear skies over alot of the country yesterday and alot of searching....
That plane particular had me fooled for s few seconds aswell, real bright, a tiny (almost no) tail, very comet like, right where I thought it might be visible, especially given the way the sun was catching it, I was thinking "wow", this is great, but then I noticed its colour was wrong and really it was just way too bright, and then a small while later it was gone when the cloud went away and no way could it have set by then.
Reported magnitudes are between +1 and +2, about 2-3 mags brighter then predicted, but not bright at all against a twilight sky....
even if its clear tomorrow evening, I'm not sure we'll see it with the naked eye tbh....
when you hear that people like Christoper Go in the Philippines cant yet see it with the naked eye, then yea, it might still bee too early yet, and its gonna fade big time starting this weekend
