Ilford, Essex, England — 30 November 1660
Dogfight in the sky
Very early in the morning two men saw a fiery cloud in the southwest. From under it appeared two bright objects as large as the moon, which began a dogfight in the atmosphere. One of them eventually grew dimmer while the other increased in size and remained in view for two hours, “a great part of which time they saw streaming from it. streams of fire and streams of blood.” It then diminished until it was no larger than an ordinary star.
