Oh, by the way miss Burger King Halley's Comet was in 1986, so why don't you check your facts?!!

There were two prominent ones in the 90s.
Khohotek (sp?) and Hale-Bop.
The former was a fuzzy blob, but Hale-Bop had a very long, prominent tail which was visible for over a month.
Haley's was in the 80s and IIRC wasn't very clearly visible.
And BTW, it was seen from all over the world, not just england.

I saw two comets in the 1990s, the first one was Comet Hyakutake, this had a very long tail and it was visble in the Chennai skies (13.09°N 80.27°E) for a few days only. It was moveing rather fast in my terms and it was first seen on March 25,1996 4 a.m. Indian Standard time The next one was Comet Hale Bopp That I saw on March 24, 1997 06:20 IST, this comet could be seen for more than an month.
Now you need to decide what you saw from the lenght of the tails of the comet!!

There was Hyukatake in 1996 and Hale-Bopp in 1997. It's probably Hale-Bopp you remember, as it got a lot more press. Although, if you saw Hyukatake under a dark sky you would never forget it - it had a tail that stretched halfway across the sky.
It wasn't Halley, which last appeared in 1986, or Kohoutek, which appeared in 1973.

It was in 1986 I don t remember the month but I was standing in my second floor balcony when around 7.00 pm that I saw a star like comet wiz passed thru horizontally with a long tail, in a flash it was gone before i could call my mom to share my experience she was standing in the hall.I was not sure whether it could be Haley's comet. But it was the year Haley's comet was visible and I was doubtful even till date. I am residing in Chennai.South of India.My flat where I saw this is facing the Bay of Bengal (Indian Ocean).Please correct me if I am wrong

Hale-Bopp. Both a comet and a song by Hanson.

Comet Shoemaker-Levy collided with Jupiter, maybe it was that one?
