Северная Атлантика
12 Nov 1887 in the North Atlantic near the steamer, bound for Glasgow, suddenly appeared a huge fireball red with a diameter of about 7 m. It slowly climbed to 15-17 m up and followed alongside the vessel, moving against the wind. It took at least 5-6 minutes. Then the balloon disappeared in the clouds.
It is an impressive and strange phenomenon caused consternation among the sailors as served as a bad omen. At this size the ball must have a greater windage, but why then he was moving against the wind, even with the speed of the ship?
