Show jSOilETIIG SINGULAR Aboul Hie Meteor Seen at Brilliant. Bril-liant. nuoixs sums: wim. Ex-Chief Hfbcr C. Boden was tlte Astounded As-tounded Recipient of a Big Blow Out Last Saturday. There was something very singular singu-lar about that meteor that appeared ap-peared in the heavens a week ago Friday evening, at about S o'clock. At the very same time the magni-lieent magni-lieent flash was seen by people in Brigham and the exploded ball of fire was said to have fallen in a lucern patch, on the southern outskirts out-skirts of this city, a simi lar phenomenon was said to have taken place near Benson, Cache Valley, and also down near Provo. People in: each of these places claim at the same hour, about S o'clock, a luminous meteor burst and the particles . fell near those places. It was seen in the southwest, passing j from oast to west, Benson and Provo are 150 miles apart, but there is little doubt but . that the same heavenly body was , seen at all these places. Instead of the remains of the meteor falling in a Brigham lucern patch or near Benson or Provo, they may have been hundreds of miles away, the pju tide's probably falling on the sagebrush deserts of Nevada or the cactus plains of Arizona; and it is not improbable that ihey even buried themselves in ttio cooling waters of the great Pacific, a full thousand miles away. Our limited vision is not as accurate and truthful truth-ful as it might be in recording phenomena of the firmament. |
