Saint-Apre, France — 25 August 1846
Bright globe emits ‘stars’
- At 2:30 A.M. Dr. Moreau was returning from a visit to a patient’s home by warm, calm weather when he found himself bathed in the light coming from a globe that seemed to open up, emitting hundreds of star-like objects. This was observed for three to four minutes, after which the display slowed down and the globe disappeared.
