"A scintillating incandescent mass”
"It was seen traversing the sky as a scintillating incandescent mass in what appeared to be from a direction slightly to the south of due east to the north of due west."
"Even in the brilliant light of a particularly fine day, and at a little past noon, it was a particularly fine object."
