03-19-1887
In accord with our disaccord is an instance related in the Monthly Weather Review, March 1887--something that fell luminously from the sky, accompanied by something that was not so affected, or that was dark:
That, according to Captain. C. D. Sweet, of the Dutch bark J. P. A., upon March 19, 1887, N. 37° 39', W. 57° 00', he encountered a severe storm. He saw two objects in the air above the ship. One was luminous and might be explained in several ways, but the other was dark. One or both fell into the sea with a roar and the casting up of billows. It is our acceptance that these things had entered this earth's atmosphere, having first crashed through a field of ice--"immediately afterward lumps of ice fell."

NEW YORK, May 9-- Captain Swan [Should be Sweet-CF-], of the Dutch bark J. P. A., had an experience on March 19th which he thinks will account for the mysterious disappearance of so many vessels at sea. That day there was a heavy storm. Late in the afternoon a huge meteor, looking like two balls of fire, dropped into the sea close alongside, making a tremendous roaring. Before reaching the water the upper atmosphere was darkened, while below, and on board, everything appeared like a sea of fire. The force of the meteor striking the water caused heavy breakers, which washed over the vessel, making her roll dangerously. The atmosphere became uncomfortably warm, and the air was full of sulphur. Immediately afterward solid lumps of ice fell on the deck, and docks and rigging became coated with an icy crust, caused by the immense evaporation. On the side where the meteor fell, the ship appeared all black, and some of the copper sheeting was blistered.
