• May 15: At Aldershot (Hampshire), a being in tight-fitting clothes (like tights) wearing a shiny helmet rises into the air above two sentinels who shoot at him, to no avail. The apparition has paralyzed them with what they describe as a blue fire. The character is identical to that of "Jack Spring-heeled" who made a name for himself in 1837 and 1838.

• At Coney Island (Brooklyn), a winged human figure performed aerial acrobatics above the crowd of bathers. This strange being would be seen again until 1880. [[Letter from W. H. Smith on September 18th to the New York Sun] [Keel 1975]]{.source}
