The caller, a young man, and his girlfriend were standing outside, looking for the comet. They turned to the west to look at the moon and some bright stars and Venus to the west, when they noticed two distinctly pink lights streaking from north to south.

They were very small and very faint, but distinctly visible. They were moving relative to each other, almost "floating" up and down. Both parties saw both objects.
