Scientific paper
A PRETTY bright meteor crossed the eastern sky here on Saturday evening last, at about 7.54 p.m. I saw only the flash of light which it cast on the ground and in the sky towards the east, like a momentary weak red flash of lightning. ``A shooting-star,'' said a bystander close to me, who saw it fairly well, and who gave me, roughly, this description, by the stars, of its apparent course: From about R.A. 340°, Decl. + 25°, to about 336°, + 12°. It described this course of 12° in about a second, and was red in colour, and broke up at last with a red flash, leaving no train of light or of sparks along the track which it had traversed, so long as for a second or two in which I had time to look towards the direction where he pointed. Tree-tops intercepted his view beyond the point of this disruption, but the light's sudden extinction there made a much further extension of the track unlikely.
