Anyone care to guess what this is....as if it's Comet Christensen, it's gone very very very bright....

(it's almost 4am...so perhaps I am just going mad/tired)

Near to Castor and Pollux and is moving with the sky...(i.e sidereal)

ISO800, 30 second EOS300D...£5 tripod

Someone tell me I am going mad, and it's something other than a very very bright naked eye comet

First imaged at 02:04am, been watching it for almost 2 hours now...it's one funky cloud if it's a cloud

It's still there...time now 4:20am...I have 18 x 30 second shots of it on the CF card... just very very odd...still can't work out if it's something manmade, a truly weird cloud or a comet...

Not been any speccraft venting going on recently has there?

It was visible, (i.e not a camera thing) and yes, probably something lighting up the sky, but....I live in the middle of nowhere....so unless it was the army doing stuff, I don't know what it could have been

Anyway... at 5am I went to bed.. content it's not a comet..
