Edward Long, in his History of Jamaica, published in 1774, wrote briefly
about meteors in general, and in more detail about a remarkable meteor
observed in many parts of Jamaica on January 22, 1770. He provided a
diagram to amplify his description of the meteor. I hope that the
description and the diagram make more sense to others, probably more
knowledgeable, than they do to me! He seems more concerned with his
analysis of lightning, into which he slipped this account of meteors.
