Scientific paper
WHILST walking on Sunday night with a friend, about 10.35 my attention was directed to a beautiful meteor, of a ruddy hue, not unlike Mars. It appeared a little to the south of Arcturus, and after passing along with a slow motion in an easterly direction, throwing out sparks meanwhile, disappeared near β Herculis. In size it seemed to be about four times as large as Jupiter, and continued visible for three or four seconds. About half a minute afterwards it was followed by another from the same quarter, which took almost exactly the same direction as the other. In colour and appearance it resembled the first, but was not quite so large. It remained visible about three seconds. The sky at the time was beautifully clear, and there was little or no wind.
