Abstract
Aug. 17, 1876. Electrical Phenomena near Weymouth.—At Ringstead Bay, near Weymouth, Dorset, during a sultry afternoon, on ground above the cliffs, a number of globes of light were seen of the size of billiard balls, extending from a few inches above the surface to a height of 7–8 ft. They slowly rose and fell vertically, sometimes within a few inches of the observers but always eluding the grasp. The number of these objects varied from twenty to ‘thousands’. No sound accompanied the display, but at 10 P.M. there was a thunderstorm.
