This image is suggesting part of the comet is still intact.

No you didn't. The comet was/is nowhere near the Earth.

I expect sputnik to be very familiar with this sort of things. ;)

Got at least 1 other person who witnessed it..........just a piece of random falling debris from something else? comet seemed to be a likely culprit to me.....
