In 1997, I went to Israel (of all places) to do a science post-doc at a university there.

On my 1st morning (04:00 - jet lag!), I walked through a field to get to the entrance gate.

High above, I saw what I thought to be an IDF military helicopter at considerable altitude with its searchlight on, moving imperceptibly slowly...

It wasn't until days later I found out it was Hale-Bopp!
