Abstract
PASSING along Kensington Gore yesterday at 7.20 p.m., I saw the finest meteor I have ever seen in my life. It descended from near the zenith perpendicularly through the constellation of the Great Bear. It was much larger than any planet. About half-way on its downward course it gave out a second meteor of a red colour, being itself of a pale yellow. The atmosphere was rather foggy at the time, but I could see the stars through the mist. It was, no doubt, the same meteor as is mentioned in to-day's Times as having been seen at Reading.
