• November 1st: Gregory of Tours. On the night of All Saints 1461, something burning like a bar of iron, long and thick as half the Moon, was seen for a short quarter of an hour. It was clearly visible and suddenly this strange thing twisted and turned like a watch spring and went back up to the sky. Jacques Duclarcq, advisor to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, Memoirs of a Bourgeois of Arras, reported by Jacques Bassard, av. President Wilson, member of the French Astronomy Society, BSAF, 1954{.source}
