The Book of the Damned

That,
Oct.
10,
1864,
M.
Leverrier
had
sent
to
the
Academy
three
letters
from
witnesses
of
a
long
luminous
body,
tapering
at
both
ends,
that
had
been
seen
in
the
sky.
In
Thunder
and
Lightning,
p.
87,
Flammarion
says
that
on
Aug.
20,
1880,
during
a
rather
violent
storm,
M.A.
Trecul,
of
the
French
Academy,
saw
a
very
brilliant
yellowish-white
body,
apparently
35
to
40
centimeters
long,
and
about
25
centimeters
wide.
Torpedo-shaped.
Or
a
cylindrical
body,
"with
slightly
conical
ends."
It
dropped
something,
and
disappeared
in
the
clouds.
Whatever
it
may
have
been
that
was
dropped,
it
fell
vertically,
like
a
heavy
object,
and
left
a
luminous
train.
The
scene
of
this
occurrence
may
have
been
far
from
the
observer.
No
sound
was
heard.
For
M.
Trecul's
account,

Comptes
Rendus,
103-849.
Monthly
Weather
Review,
1907-310:
That,
July
2,
1907,
in
the
town
of
Burlington,
Vermont,
a
terrific
explosion
had
been
heard
throughout
the
city.
A
ball
of
light,
or
a
luminous
object,
had
been
seen
to
fall
from
the
sky--or
from
a
torpedo-shaped
thing,
or
construction,
in
the
sky.
No
one
had
seen
this
thing
that
had
exploded
fall
from
a
larger
body
that
was
in
the
sky--but
if
we
accept
that
at
the
same
time
there
was
a
larger
body
in
the
sky--
My
own
acceptance
is
that
a
dirigible
in
the
sky,
or
a
construction
that
showed
every
sign
of
disrupting,
had
barely
time
to
drop--whatever
it
did
drop--and
to
speed
away
to
safety
above.

story
