- **March 19:** English botanist Sir Hans Sloane believes he sees a
|
|||
|
|
shooting star. I suddenly saw a great light in the sky towards the
|
|||
|
|
West. It shone with a much greater brightness than the
|
|||
|
|
[Moon](Lune.html). He quickly realized his mistake, the object
|
|||
|
|
progressing much too slowly and in a straight line. The object had
|
|||
|
|
a singular shape: A kind of long luminous thread was attached in
|
|||
|
|
the middle of this [meteor](Meteore.html) which resembled a pear
|
|||
|
|
tapered upwards. The lower part was spherical, but smaller than
|
|||
|
|
the full moon. It was white and blue in color, and its brilliance
|
|||
|
|
as dazzling as that of the sun in full daylight (\...). It moved
|
|||
|
|
for about thirty seconds and disappeared about 20° above the
|
|||
|
|
horizon; behind it, it left a kind of faintly orange trail, a bit
|
|||
|
|
like a glowing coal. It seemed to sparkle, but it did not fall. I
|
|||
|
|
heard it was also observed in Oxford and Worcester?
