Chance Sighting

Did my eyes deceive me or did I see a comet tonight? Looked out of our window this evening at about 19:00 and saw what I thought must be Venus. Got the binoculars out and it appeared to me to be a comet with 2 tails, the main one with a pronounced curve. It was low down and set within about 10 mins.

I know there is one due to be visible about now, but I haven't heard much about it recently.

What I saw was extremely bright and if it id the expected comet, I'm very suprised I haven't heard more about it in the press.

You sure it wasn't two diffraction spikes coming off Venus?

It's definitely not Ison, which is still too far out to be barely seen even in large scopes.
