Scientific paper

A FEW minutes before 10 o'clock on Saturday night I saw a very beautiful meteor towards the western horizon. The meteor passed obliquely downwards towards Orion's belt, moving slowly from right to left. When first seen it was a brilliant white body about ⅙th the apparent diameter of the moon. As it passed onwards it became bluish and pear-shaped with a bright track. Before its final disappearance between the belt and the pleiades it had a purplish hue. It was visible about four or five seconds, and during that period it traversed about ten or fifteen degrees.
