Descending almost perpen- 

 dicularly, but inclined a 

 little from N. to S. as it 

 fell. 



A magnificent fireball; broke 

 into several pieces. 



Shortly after a brilliant flash, 

 which lighted up everything, 

 the streak which it left was 

 seen, and remained visible 

 for 6 or 7 sees. Cloud and 

 haze hid the stars. No sound 

 heard. 



Large meteor ; broke up, or fell 

 to pieces at the end of its 

 course. Attention drawn to 

 it by its light while looking 

 for Jupiter in a telescope. 



Appeared with a flash like 

 lightning ; the comet-like 

 tail remaining when the 

 nucleus had disappeared, and 

 little stars being visible 

 through it with the naked 

 eye. 



Whether all the accounts refer Ibid, 

 to the same fireball is not 

 certain. A sound accom- 

 panied it at Constantine. 



Most brilliant, even in strong O. P. Fisher, 

 moonlight and daylight, 643. 

 shortly after sunset.
