What is the name of the comet that supposedly appears every 2000 years or so and was last seen in the mid 90's?

"Periodic" comets reappear at predictable intervals, such as Haley's Comet. Some comets are never seen again. A few crash into the Sun and are destroyed; a few crash into other planets, such as the Shoemaker-Levy comet that hit Jupiter. Many comets have such long periods, in terms of thousands of years, that no records exist that anyone ever saw them before.
