Poissy, France: Slow transit — 30 November 1873
Several observers tracked a maneuvering object, red like Mars in color. It was in the sky
for 10 minutes. They first saw it in the North above the Big Dipper, then it approached the star ‘gamma’ without touching it, moved away on several curves and disappeared in the west. Camille Flammarion and Mr. Vinot, editor of Journal du Ciel, later made inquiries that confirmed the sighting.
