London, England — 30 September 1801
Unusual formation
- Between five and six in the morning, a very bright object was seen in the East. It was “shaped something like a cross; this was accompanied by two smaller ones like stars, one towards the left, which was also bright; and one just perceptible a little below it, the whole moving fast towards the South.”
