Dear list, After my recent request for information regarding a possible meteorite fall in 1862, I found one report which apparently has not been collected elsewhere.
Source: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society XXX, No. 357, July-September 1718, pp. 837-838. Article: "A letter of the curious naturalist Mr. Henry Barham, R. S. S., to the publisher, giving a relation of a fiery meteor seen by him, in Jamaica, to strike the Earth..." Barham describes his observation of a falling fireball in the year 1700, "about three miles north-west from St. Fago de la Vega." He approaches a group of people south of the savanna who are admiring the recently broken ground where they have seen a fireball come down. Several deep holes, smell of sulphur, etc. I just thought someone might be interested. Best, Chris ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
