There will never just be a comet that just shows up in the sky. They are all known and tracked, and you would know if one was going to in any way visible to the naked eye, most likely just by everyone talking about it. It is a rare event to have one even a fraction of this visible. They'd also be far away enough as to appear mostly stationary.

We know exactly when Halley's comet is coming back, when it will be visible, where it will be visible, etc.
