THIS meteor was visible overhead at Dunstable, Beds., precisely at the time mentioned by A. G. Tansley (p. 581). I had just started one of my sons to London by the 8.5 p.m. train, and I saw the meteor sail slowly across the sky from north-west to south-east, directly the train had started. The nucleus as seen here was brilliant white and yellow-white with a bright yellow-white train. The train formed an equilateral triangle, the nucleus being in one angle in front. I did not see the train in the form of sparks, but as light. Before it died away, both nucleus and train became bright crimson and an equally brilliant blue. There was no explosion heard by me.
