I was driving home from work to my ranch in the boonies, it (appeared) it was coming straight at me,I thought it was a Jumbo looking to land in my pasture. We didn't have much for internet back then even in town but I soon learned. Was quite cool viewing

Easy: just ask them to let you roll down the window while you snap a quick photo.
But fr, as someone else said above, that's what photoshop and other image editors are for.

Would it really be that visible? We can barely see the Milky Wayy, and we're in that one.

There's gotta be some kind of life out there, that's like, at least five stars.

7 minutes exposure, but all the stars are circles and not smeared arcs? How?

100% wrong
Andromeda is typically the farthest object you can see with the naked eye from a dark site. Even from a bortle 2/3 site its naked eye.
You have no idea what youre talking about

Well you can, just need more help than just your eyes. Hence the telescopes. But it would be really need to see in the sky if you could see it with eyes alone.
