The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort
266
Or
Mr.
Waldner's
assimilative
opinion
that
he
had
seen
only
ice
crystals.
Whether
they
were
not
very
exclusive
veils
of
a
super-harem,
or
planes
of
a
very
light
material,
we
have
an
impression
of
star-shaped
things
with
transparent
appendages
that
have
been
seen
in
the
sky.
Hosts
of
small
bodies--black,
this
time--that
were
seen
by
the
astronomers
Herrick,
Buys-Ballot,
and
De
Cuppis
(L'Annee
Scientifique,
1860-25);
vast
numbers
of
bodies
that
were
seen
by
M.
Lamey,
to
cross
the
moon
(L'Annee
Scientifique,
1874-62);
another
instance
of
dark
ones;
prodigious
number
of
dark,
spherical
bodies
reported
by
Messier,
June
17,
1777
(Arago,
OEuvres,
9-38);
considerable
number
of
luminous
bodies
which
appeared
to
move
out
from
the
sun,
in
diverse
directions;
seen
at
Havana,
during
eclipse
of
the
sun,
May
15,
1836,
by
Prof.
Auber
(Poey);
M.
Poey
cites
a
similar
instance,
of
Aug.
3,
1886;
M.
Lotard's
opinion
that
they
were
birds
(L'Astronomie,
1886-391);
large
number
of
small
bodies
crossing
disk
of
the
sun,
some
swiftly,
some
slowly;
most
of
them
globular,
but
some
seemingly
triangular,
and
some
of
more
complicated
structure;
seen
by
M.
Trouvelet,
who,
whether
seeds,
insects,
birds,
or
other
commonplace
things,
had
never
seen
anything
resembling
these
forms
(L'Annee
Scientifique,
1885-8);
report
from
the
Rio
de
Janeiro
Observatory,
of
vast
numbers
of
bodies
crossing
the
sun,
some
of
them
luminous
and
some
of
them
dark,
from
some
time
in
December,
1875,
until
Jan.
22,
1876
(La
Nature,
1876-384).
Of
course,
at
a
distance,
any
form
is
likely
to
look
round
or
roundish:
but
we
point
out
that
we
have
notes
upon
the
seeming
of
more
complex
forms.
In
L'Astronomie,
1886-70,
is
recorded
M.
Briguiere's
observation,
at
Marseilles,
April
15
and
April
25,
1883,
upon
the
crossing
of
the
sun
by
bodies
that
were
irregular
in
form.
Some
of
them
moved
as
if
in
alignment.
