Mr. CAPRON's letter (p. 149) gives an interesting confirmation of the meteoric nature of the light seen on November 17; as showing that it is physically impossible that it can be an aurora, according to accepted theories of that light. Setting aside the impossible estimate of forty-four miles, it should be noticed that the heights assigned are in close agreement, 170 miles being merely stated, like other elements in my letter, as a minimum. The oblique direction of the meteor from 10° altitude in due east to horizon in due south-west, as shown by several observations, is another evidence of its extra-terrestrial origin.
