The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort
54
Humboldt
(Cosmos,
1-119)
says
that
all
our
data
in
this
respect
must
be
"classed
amongst
the
mythical
fables
of
mythology."
He
is
very
sure,
but
just
a
little
redundant.
We
shall
be
opposed
by
the
standard
resistances:
There
in
the
first
place;
Up
from
one
place,
in
a
whirlwind,
and
down
in
another.
We
shall
not
bother
to
be
very
convincing
one
way
or
another,
because
of
the
over-shadowing
of
the
datum
with
which
we
shall
end
up.
It
will
mean
that
something
had
been
in
a
stationary
position
for
several
days
over
a
small
part
of
a
small
town
in
England:
this
is
the
revolutionary
thing
that
we
have
alluded
to
before;
whether
the
substance
were
nostoc,
or
spawn,
or
some
kind
of
a
larval
nexus,
doesn't
matter
so
much.
If
it
stood
in
the
sky
for
several
days,
we
rank
with
Moses
as
a
chronicler
of
improprieties--or
was
that
story,
or
datum,
we
mean,
told
by
Moses?
Then
we
shall
have
so
many
records
of
gelatinous
substance
said
to
have
fallen
with
meteorites,
that,
between
the
two
phenomena,
some
of
us
will
have
to
accept
connection--or
that
there
are
at
least
vast
gelatinous
areas
aloft,
and
that
meteorites
tear
through,
carrying
down
some
of
the
substance.
Comptes
Rendus,
3-554:
That,
in
1836,
M.
Vallot,
member
of
the
French
Academy,
placed
before
the
Academy
some
fragments
of
a
gelatinous
substance,
said
to
have
fallen
from
the
sky,
and
asked
that
they
be
analyzed.
There
is
no
further
allusion
to
this
subject.
