Rocket. Without looking it up, probably SpaceX from Cape Canaveral.

The “that’s a fucking comet” comment illustrates where we are at as the dumbest society to ever exist.

Serious question. Let's imagine for a second it *was* a comet. If one of this apparanent size, speed and magnitude was in the sky just how much shit would we be in? Would it inevitably get pulled into Earth gravity well and collide or could it skim past us? Would it be going even faster across the sky at this close? Or could it be this big and bright and still far enough away to move slowly across the sky like a real comet?

First thing I'd do if I thought I saw a comet in the sky is verify what I thought I'd seen online with other experts.
