Abstract
Recent Fireballs.—Mr. W. F. Denning writes: “On the first few nights of the present month brilliant meteors were unusually abundant, and several of them were of startling lustre though without detonations. On Dec. 2 at about 6 P.M. a fireball gave a brilliant display over the south of England. Another followed about four hours later, and a third, which lit up the whole countryside, blazed out just as the morning twilight came on Dec. 3. This object passed from south-east to north-west over England and gave a vivid flash at its disappearance, quite dazzling in its intensity. About half a dozen other fireballs made their appearance between Dec. 2 and 5, and the curious fact in connexion with them was that they apparently had their derivation from different systems. About sixty observations have come to hand descriptive of these objects, and when further data come in it will be possible to compare them and make certain deductions as to the heights, velocities, and directions of the various meteors concerned.
