Report of M. Acharius in "proceedings of the Swedish Academy of Sciences" 1808, Translated for the North American review:
M. Acharius heard of "an extraordinary and probably hitherto unseen phenomenon," reported that near the town of Skinning, Sweden may 16, 1808, at about 4 p.m., the sun suddenly became brick red.
At the same time in the West on the horizon appeared a large number of round bodies, dark brown color about the size of a hat. They flew overhead and disappeared to the East. A huge procession. It lasted two hours. Sometimes one fell to the ground. When I examined the crash site, was found a film, which soon dried and vanished.
Often, when they approached the sun, these bodies seemed to be connected to each other by groups not exceeding eight.
Under the sun from them, as can be seen, there are tails in the size in three or four fathoms. Away from the sun the tails were invisible.
Whatever the substance of which they consisted, it is described as gelatinous - "soap and generowanie".

Original news
An account by M. Acharius, in the Transactions of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, 1808-215, translated for the North American Review, 3-319. That M. Acharius, having heard of “an extraordinary and probably hitherto unseen phenomenon,” reported from near the town of Skeninge, Sweden, investigated: That, upon the 16th of May, 1808, at about 4 p.m., the sun suddenly turned dull brick-red. At the same time there appeared, upon the western horizon, a great number of round bodies, dark brown, and seemingly the size of a hat crown. They passed overhead and disappeared in the eastern horizon. Tremendous procession. It lasted two hours. Occasionally one fell to the ground. When the place of a fall was examined, there was found a film, which soon dried and vanished. Often, when approaching the sun, these bodies seemed to link together, or were then seen to be linked together, in groups not exceeding eight, and, under the sun, they were seen to have tails three or four fathoms long. Away from the sun the tails were invisible. Whatever their substance may have been, it is described as gelatinous — “soapy and jellied.”
