Not a real comet, but a jet plane, I think, or perhaps I've spotted a UFO and didn't know it.
I opted to say it was a comet, since today is Friday the 13th... Historically, comets were thought to be harbingers of bad luck. For example, the Bayeux Tapestry shows a comet when Harold of Essex snatched the English throne from William of Normandy, soon to be known as The Conqueror.
Are you superstitious? Will you be cautious today?

Beautiful! Great catch.
Well, I'll be careful NOW. And well-captured!
Terrific shot! If I were superstitious, the notion of a black cat being the family cat for years on end would have bothered me.
No, no, no, I'm a hard science guy. I must admit, though, that when I was growing up in Queens my sister and I insisted we say alien spacecraft every night. Then our parents told us they were planes landing at La Guardia. What a let down.
I vote for a UFO! I like the strong lines in your photo.
I once had a serious accident on one 13th the Friday many years back. Though I am not superstitious the memories scare me. :P :)
Loved reading your post. :)
Pas superstitieuse pour un sou mais les superstitions populaires me tiennent parfois en alerte.
My comet, er comment is thus: If you don't know what it is for sure, then it must be a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object). Or, it could be Donald Trump.
Nice shot. The 13th just came and went for me.
