August 19, 1887. Marseille, France. A round machine with a diameter of 1/10 of the Sun near the edge of the Sun was observed by astronomers Codde and Payan independently during a solar eclipse. 

Observers in other places did not see it, which indicates that the object was closer to the Earth than to the Sun.

19. augustMarseille, Frankrig. Rund maskine med en diameter på 1/10 af Solens nær Solens rand iagttoges af astronomerne Codde og Payan uafhængigt af hinanden under en solformørkelse. Iagttagere andre steder så den ikke, hvad der viser, at genstanden var nærmere Jorden end Solen.

12. novemberUhyre, glødende, kredsrund skive hævede sig op af havet nær ved Cape Race; den bevægede sig imod vinden tæt hen til det britiske skib "Siberian" og derpå bort igen. Synlig i fem minutter. Kaptajnen sagde, at han før havde oplevet en lignende tildragelse på samme sted.
