Abstract

ON November 22, at about 6h. 51m. I observed, in a sky quite overcast, a brilliant prolonged flash quite different to lightning. The whole firmament was illuminated for more than a second with an intensity greater than that which the full moon could have occasioned, and the glow seemed strongest in the south-east. Not a star was visible, but though the origin of the outburst could not be observed, no doubt existed that a fireball of the most brilliant type had fallen.
