Especially with it moving relatively slow compared to airships with their
own propulsion (sp?).  From the path it is taking, I am guessing it is
following the jet stream.

I suspect it was detected by civilians because many folks in areas where
the skies were going to be clear were probably getting ready to look for
the comet and then noticed they could see something in daylight.  I suspect
it was only reported publicly because civilians saw it.
