China, exact location unknown: Slow flying globe — 817
A globe appeared at the zenith, followed by a tail. It flew slowly West under the moon,
while witnesses heard something like the sound of birds. We include the case because of the slow motion noted in the report. It is rare, yet not impossible, to hear a sound in connection with a meteor, but they do not fly “slowly.”
