It proceeded from a point about 45° altitude in the west, and passed towards south-south-west at an angle of about 40°, disappearing at an altitude of about 20° in the south-west. Duration two seconds; slow motion. A trail of yellowish-red sparks appeared on both sides (top and bottom) as it travelled forward. Several letters appear in the Yorkshire Post of the 5th inst. from persons who saw it in Yorkshire.
