Abstract
ON February 17, at 6.8 p.m., a brilliant fireball was observed from various parts of the country. The evening twilight was strong, but the object created a very luminous effect; one observer, situated fully 250 miles from the meteor, estimated its light as quite three times as bright as Venus, and the streak or trail was visible for seven minutes.
