ON Saturday last, October 4, at 7.45 p.m., I noticed the following phenomenon:-The sky was clouded entirely, when, happening to look to the west-north-west, I saw a well-defined streak of light, starting on a level with some trees in a small wood and moving roughly horizontally towards the south for an angular distance of about 30°. This was followed at about 3-second intervals by another and another, until I counted 43 of them. After this the interval became greater, and about 8 o'clock the phenomenon ceased. It appeared to be like a meteor shower partially hidden by a thickness of cloud. Assuming this to be true, I am afraid the radiant point was hidden by the trees before mentioned. The elevation would be about 15°. Perhaps some of your readers more favourably situated may be able to throw further light on the matter.
