The Book of the Damned

Nature,
7-112:
That,
according
to
a
correspondent
to
the
Birmingham
Morning
News,
the
people
living
near
King's
Sutton,
Banbury,
saw,
about
one
o'clock,
Dec.
7,
1872,
something
like
a
haycock
hurtling
through
the
air.
Like
a
meteor
it
was
accompanied
by
fire
and
a
dense
smoke
and
made
a
noise
like
that
of
a
railway
train.
"It
was
sometimes
high
in
the
air
and
sometimes
near
the
ground."
The
effect
was
tornado-like:
trees
and
walls
were
knocked
down.
It's
a
late
day
now
to
try
to
verify
this
story,
but
a
list
is
given
of
persons
whose
property
was
injured.
We
are
told
that
this
thing
then
disappeared
"all
at
once."
These
are
the
smaller
objects,
which
may
be
derailed
railway
trains
or
big
green
snakes,
for
all
I
know--but
our
expression
upon
approach
to
this
earth
by
vast
dark
bodies--
That
likely
they'd
be
made
luminous:
would
envelop
in
clouds,
perhaps,
or
would
have
their
own
clouds--
But
that
they'd
quake,
and
that
they'd
affect
this
earth
with
quakes--
And
that
then
would
occur
a
fall
of
matter
from
such
a
world,
or
rise
of
matter
from
this
earth
to
a
nearby
world,
or
both
fall
and
rise,
or
exchange
of
matter--process
known
to
Advanced
Seismology
as
celestio-metathesis--
Except
that--if
matter
from
some
other
world--and
it
would
be
like
someone
to
get
it
into
his
head
that
we
absolutely
deny
gravitation,
just
because
we
cannot
accept
orthodox
dogmas--except
that,
if
matter
from
another
world,
filling
the
sky
of
this
earth,
generally,
as
to
a
hemisphere,
or
locally,
should
be
attracted
to
this
earth,
it
would
seem
thinkable
that
the
whole
thing
should
drop
here,
and
not
merely
its
surface-materials.
