Hi, great article! ;-) According to this (based on a Nassau Guardian newspaper article), there is an account of this event in OCLC 0140044833 (Celestial passengers : UFO's and space travel] by Margaret Sachs, with Ernest Jahn) Probably not worth an interlibrary loan.

- Thanks! Judging by the book's title, it may be the case that they are talking about the event as represented by Charles Hoy Fort in his book New Lands (end of ch. 23). Fort often takes interesting historic astronomical data and places an, er, unusual interpretation on it: "If one will think that they were meteors, at least one will have to think that no such meteors had ever been seen before".Svejk74 (talk) 07:28, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
