Hale-Bopp passed by around that time. I was lucky enough to see it from an airplane window on my way to Switzerland.

Thank you so much!!

Comet Hale-Bopp maybe?

I believe so, u/syentifiq was super fast at responding! Thank you, I'm so excited, this is almost definitely the one!

1986 was the last Halleys comet, and it won't be back until 2061. So, while this is a very popular name thrown around. Most younger adults have never even seen it!

Might see if these help ring a bell for you

• 1997 - hale-bopp
• 1996 - comet Hyakutake
• 1994 - Shoemaker (struck Jupiter - too old here)

Awesome :) Thanks so much.
