Scientific paper
AT 4.47 p.m. yesterday, whilst returning home with two friends, I saw a large meteor pass slowly downwards ill an east-north-easterly direction. Unfortunately it was twilight and very cloudy at the time of the observation, and the ``fireball,'' as one of my friends called it, was consequently shorn of much of its brilliancy. It was, however, distinctly visible behind a thin veil of cloud, and when seen for a couple of seconds in the open it seemed to have an apparent diameter about four times that of the planet Venus, which, with the crescent moon, were the only other conspicuous objects in the heavens at that time.
