Initial data
About 10 PM a man saw a shiny red balloon, visible about eight degrees below the little dipper. At first it seemed stationary, but after about fifteen seconds he started to move slowly to the East almost horizontally, with a slight undulating movement.
He went below, and about one degree from the star Benetuash in the Great bear, and vanished away, near Denebola in the constellation Leo. The observation lasted ten minutes.
The author adds: "there was no explosion, and there was no scintillation".

Original news
About 10 P.M. a man saw a brilliant red ball about two minutes in diameter, first visible about eight degrees below the guards in Ursa Minor. It seemed stationary at first, but in about fifteen seconds commenced moving slowly towards the east in an almost horizontal line, with what seemed like a slight undulatory motion. It passed below and about one degree from the star Benetuash in Ursa Major and disappeared in the distance, not far from Denebola in the constellation Leo. The observation had lasted ten minutes. The writer adds: “there was no explosion, nor was any scintillation thrown off at any time.”
