one that has taken notice of it. fn this Figure A B is the 
under Lamina, fomewhat broader and brighter than the 
upper CD: it had near its under Edge the Lucid* Lyra , and 
below its Northern Extremity, on the Left-hand paudaCyg- 
n 't : and as well above and below thefe, as in the interme- 
diate Space between them, and indeed all round about 
that Part of the Heavens, the Sky was fo unufually dark 
and black, as if all that exotick Light that had ihew’d it 
felf before, had been then collected into thole two Streaks. 
Only at ^between the Weft and Northweft and no where 
elfe, out of a Brightnefs adjoining to the Horizon, there 
arofe conical Beams as M, L, N, after the fame manner 
as at firft. 
Whilft we ftood looking on, the Streak CD at its Nor- 
thern End bent downward, and joyned with the Under 
A B at E, and included the Space DC EAB , which 
Bill kept open at the other End towards the Eaft And 
in the mean time, out of the very clear Sky, Tome lumi- 
nous Spots, (ituated and figured as in the Scheme at 
G, G, G, G, prefented themlelves to the Eye, in Colour 
much like the Lamina. Thefe did not Ihew themlelves 
all together, but came focceflively, yet lo as two or 
three of them were feen at a time ; and. as their coming 
was inftantaneous, lo they went away in a Moment, Ac 
the fame time likewife, the feveral little white Columns 
marked F, F, F, F, occupied that Part of the Space be- 
tween the two Streaks next to E, and by their hidden and 
very irregular Motion, and the vanilhing of feme whilft 
others at the fame time emerged, gave bccafion to the 
Conception of thole that fancy’d Battles fought in the Air. 
Laftly from about the middle of CD, there arofe fudden- 
ly a Cone or Obelisk of a pale whitilh Light, greater 
than any we had yet feen, as H; which moving from Eaft 
to Weft, with a Motion fufficiently regular, was tranlla- 
ted to K, in the North Weft, and there dilappeared. 
Thas.
