The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort
323
I
have
to
think
of
something
that
is
in
accord
with
no
other
data
whatsoever:
A
luminous
body--not
the
sun--in
the
sky--but,
because
of
some
unknown
principle
or
atmospheric
condition,
its
light
extended
down
only
about
to
the
clouds;
that
from
it
were
suspended
two
triangular
objects,
like
the
object
that
was
seen
in
Bermuda;
that
it
was
this
light
that
fell
short
of
the
earth
that
these
objects
intercepted;
that
the
objects
were
drawn
up
and
lowered
from
something
overhead,
so
that,
in
its
light,
their
shadows
changed
size.
If
my
grope
seem
to
have
no
grasp
in
it,
and,
if
a
stationary
balloon
will,
in
half
an
hour,
not
cast
a
stationary
shadow
from
the
setting
sun,
we
have
to
think
of
two
triangular
objects
that
accurately
maintained
positions
in
a
line
between
sun
and
clouds,
and
at
the
same
time
approached
and
receded
from
clouds.
Whatever
it
may
have
been,
it's
enough
to
make
the
devout
make
the
sign
of
the
crucible,
or
whatever
the
devotees
of
the
Old
Dominant
do
in
the
presence
of
a
new
correlate.
Vast,
black
thing
poised
like
a
crow
over
the
moon.
It
is
our
acceptance
that
these
two
shadows
of
Chisbury
looked,
from
the
moon,
like
vast
things,
black
as
crows,
poised
over
the
earth.
It
is
our
acceptance
that
two
triangular
luminosities
and
then
two
triangular
patches,
like
vast
black
things,
poised
like
crows
over
the
moon,
and,
like
the
triangularities
at
Chisbury,
have
been
seen
upon,
or
over,
the
moon:
