I SEND you an account of a meteor I saw on Saturday evening last, thinking it may interest others as much as it has myself. I was lamp-signalling at the time (8.55 p. m.), and saw far the largest meteor I have ever seen. It was far brighter than any planet, or even than a good rocket. It seemed to start from the Great Bear, and fall in a north-east direction half-way to the horizon. I immediately stopped my message, and asked my companion (a mile distant) if he had seen the meteor. He replied he had not, which surprised me, though he had the town lights not far behind him, and he was looking away from the north-east. I had not finished asking him about the meteor, when I heard a loud but distant report, which I can only put down to the same source. It sounded like distant artillery, or more particularly like a six-pounder at six miles distance on a still evening. The interval of time between the sight and the sound I should estimate at a minute.
