Upon the 18th of April, two detonations were heard at La Tour, and a luminous object was seen in the sky. The supposition, or almost absolute belief of most persons is that from the 2nd to the 18th of April this earth moved far in its orbit and was rotating so that, if one should explain that probably meteors had exploded here, it could not very well be thought that more meteors were continuing to pick out this one point upon a doubly moving planet. But something was specially related to this one local sky. Upon the 13th of May, a red cloud such as marks the place of a meteoric explosion was seen in the sky. The last occurrence of which I have record was upon Jan. 22, 1810.
Psychic research explains variously.
The physicists say that they are mirages of troops marching somewhere at a distance. The sky was clear. There was something in the sky. Since the year 1788, many earthquakes, or concussions that were listed as earthquakes, had occurred at the town of Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. Seventeen instances were recorded on the year 1795.
