Scientific
American,
46-49:
Two
triangular,
luminous
appearances
reported
by
several
observers
in
Lebanon,
Conn.,
evening
of
July
3,
1882,
on
the
moon's
upper
limb.
They
disappeared,
and
two
dark
triangular
appearances
that
looked
like
notches
were
seen
three
minutes
later
upon
the
lower
limb.
They
approached
each
other,
met
and
instantly
disappeared.
The
merger
here
is
notches
that
have
at
times
been
seen
upon
the
moon's
limb:
thought
to
be
cross
sections
of
craters
(Monthly
Notices,
R.A.S.,
37-432).
But
these
appearances
of
July
3,
1882,
were
vast
upon
the
moon--"seemed
to
be
cutting
off
or
obliterating
nearly
a
quarter
of
its
surface."
Something
else
that
may
have
looked
like
a
vast
black
crow
poised
over
this
earth
from
the
moon:

Description
of
a
shadow
in
the
sky,
of
some
unseen
body,
April
8,
1913,
Fort
Worth,
Texas--supposed
to
have
been
cast
by
an
unseen
cloud--this
patch
of
shade
moved
with
the
declining
sun.
Rept.
Brit.
Assoc.,
1854-410:
Account
by
two
observers
of
a
faint
but
distinctly
triangular
object,
visible
for
six
nights
in
the
sky.
It
was
observed
from
two
stations
that
were
not
far
apart.
But
the
parallax
was
considerable.
Whatever
it
was,
it
was,
acceptably,
relatively
close
to
this
earth.
I
should
say
that
relatively
to
phenomena
of
light
we
are
in
confusion
as
great
as
some
of
the
discords
that
orthodoxy
is
in
relatively
to
light.
Broadly
and
intermediatistically,
our
position
is:
That
light
is
not
really
and
necessarily
light--any
more
than
is
anything
else
really
and
necessarily
anything--but
an
interpretation
of
a
mode
of
force,
as
I
suppose
we
have
to
call
it,
as
light.
At
sea
level,
the
earth's
atmosphere
interprets
sunlight
as
red
or
orange
or
yellow.
High
up
on
mountains
the
sun
is
blue.
Very
high
up
on
mountains
the
zenith
is
black.
Or
it
is
orthodoxy
to
say
that
in
inter-planetary
space,
where
there
is
no
air,
there
is
no
light.
So
then
the
sun
and
comets
are
black,
but
this
earth's
atmosphere,
or,
rather,
dust
particles
in
it,
interpret
radiations
from
these
black
objects
as
light.
