Initial data
On the evening of the day in the area fell a great meteor, people who observed the sky around seven o'clock, saw a pattern of lights, each of which lasted one minute or slightly more. In these places there were no houses, no roads. Some of them rose high in the air, moving like balloons, but most of it was at a distance (in the direction of the lower hills between the house of sir Alexander Lawrence's and the barracks).
The witness is sure what they weren't any balloons or lanterns, nor bonfires. Ie was not known at the time of explanation.

Original news
On the evening of the day when a remarkable meteor had fallen in the area, a man who was observing the sky about 7 P.M. saw a pattern of lights, each lasting for one minute or more, over places where there were no houses or roads: “Some were high up in the air moving like fire balloons, but the greater part of them were in the distance in the direction of the lower hills in front of my house, others were closer to the house and between Sir Alexander Lawrence’s and the Barracks. I am sure 231 from some which I observed closely that they were neither fire balloons (sic), lanterns nor bonfires, nor any other thing of that sort, but bona fide lights in the heavens. Though I have made enquiries among the Natives the next day, I have never been able to find out what they were or the cause of their appearance.”
