Scientific paper

It is well known that many meteor observations were described in ancient Chinese historical records. Especially in Ch'ing dynasty period (1644 - 1912), many of them in local gazetteers were recorded with event time, path direction and observation location. By precise searching these factors, possibility of meteor path determination were examined. Four probable examples in 1891, 1873, 1672 and 1661 are shown and discussed their characteristics. Only projected paths on the ground were determined by lack of height information in records.
