From the ball burst, the tail of the same bright color ... pointing in a North-easterly direction. A remarkable circumstance was that he seemed completely still. However, apparently, the second the tail seemed to be away from the middle of the first, at an angle of 45 degrees, thus giving the tail shape is the cleft or fork.
This second tail seemed to come and go from time to time separated by a few seconds, sometimes lost sight of all ... the Phenomenon lasted for 20 minutes. During his flight could not hear no noise, no explosion.

Original news
About 8:45 P.M. a bright sparkling ball of light tinged with blue appeared about 45 degrees above the northern horizon. “From the head or ball there issued a tail of the same bright colour…pointing in a north-easterly direction. A remarkable circumstance was that it appeared quite motionless and stationary. By-and-by, however, a second tail seemed to branch off from about the middle of the first one, at an angle of 45 degrees, thus giving the tail of the figure a cleft or forked appearance. “This second tail seemed to come and go, being occasionally detached for a few seconds, sometimes being lost to sight altogether…The phenomenon lasted with little 238 variation for fully 20 minutes, and then proceeded very slowly in a south-westerly direction. “No noise or explosion of any kind was heard during its passage. It attracted a great deal of attention, and was witnessed with a great deal of excitement by the inhabitants of the villages to the west.”
