Well, keep in mind this was written by somebody who was astonished that the meteorite didn't light the house on fire (something that should have been understood even in 1848). And the description of the exposed straw is a bit odd- it sounds like they are just seeing normal straw with

Another explanation might be that the report was translated into English by someone who wasn't entirely sure about the word for spark in the original language. I think it's a good exercise to discuss these old reports as well as catalogue them, so thanks for the input! Chris On 9/13/05, Chris
