May 15 , 1811
On the first day of this period, about half-past 8 p.m. a very singular luminous meteor was seen to the NNW of Geneva, passing over France: the same appears also to have been seen from Paris. It had at first the shape of the letter S and was very slow in its apparent motion, being visible for seven or eight minutes, till concealed by a cloud : it was accompanied by a kind of whizzing noise. Professor Pictet, on comparing the different observations, concluded that it was elevated 24½ leagues above the earth's surface.—(See NICHOLSON'S JOURNAL, vol. xxx. p. 216.)
