Massive Comet Almost Destroys Earth!
OK, the close call was back in 1883, but that just means it could have killed your forefathers and not yourself. The size of the comet and how close it came to Earth have been assigned ranges, but the worst possibility is that it was only 335 miles away, and was as big as the comet that took out the dinosaurs!
Mexican astronomer José Banilla took the image, which appears to show something passing in front of the sun, on August 12 1883.
When it was released publicly in 1886 in the magazine L’Astronomie it was dubbed the first photo of a UFO – a series of 447 objects that looked ‘misty’ and ‘left behind a similar misty trace.’
…A new study by the Univeridad Nacional Autónoma de México now suggests that it was a comet in the process of breaking up.
‘According to our calculations, the distance at which the objects passed over was between 538 km and 8,062 km, – and the width of the objects was between 46 m and 795m’

As always, I remind you that perhaps as many as 90% of comets in the solar system are “dark comets” – effectively invisible.
