I actually saw Halley's Comet, but you needed a very dark night to see much
of it. Of course, nobody could see Kahoutec with the naked eye, though I
vividly remember one woman calling into a radio station excitedly saying she
could see it.

"It is kind of a red blinking light moving across the sky."
