ON July 8, at about 8.50 (Mean European time), I noticed what I took at first to be the end of a rainbow. The sky was nearly cloudless towards the north; 30° south of the zenith began a mass of grey clouds, tinged here and there with red till about 15° from the horizon. Below the lowest of the red clouds was an object, about as broad as a rainbow, a degree or two E. of S., and about 12° high. It was red, but in the first few moments I thought I detected a tinge of green on the E. side. It remained in its original brightness about five minutes, then faded very rapidly, and then remained almost stationary again, finally disappearing about eight minutes after I first saw it. The sun had, so far as I could judge, set about five or ten minutes before I noticed the appearance. I am quite sure of the time, as we have a mid-day gun.
