BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS
Observers watched a star like object larger than a star perform erratic movements in the eastern part of the sky. The objects size and brightness was amazing, for if another star was the size of a pin tip, this object would be the size of the pin head. It was about five to 10 times brighter than a regular star. Observers said it wasn't a star, but the observer said that he did not think it was a star.
The description is consistent with that of an astronomical observation. Sirius would have been fairly low on the horizon and would have been the brightest astronodical body in the sky.
