Abstract
THE following is taken from the Pretoria Weekly Press for January 7: “A few evenings ago a meteor of unusual size and brilliancy was observed at Bloemfontein shooting right across the eastern sky. It looked like a rocket of a greenish colour, and burst in a shower of sparks in the south-east. The spectacle was much admired by those who were fortunate enough to witness it.”
