immense meteor passed over this

persons who saw it to have caused
a tremendous roar. The meteor
was ball Of fire surrounded by a
halo Of many colors, and to this
was attached a broad tail of flame
and sparks extending almost across
the sky.
immediately after the meteor
disappeared from view there was a
heavy explosion, followed by pro-
longed roar, which seemed to come
from the meteor's path. The ex-
plosion shook houses and ratified
