Hi, great article! ;-)
According to
this (based on a
Nassau Guardian newspaper article), there is an account of this event in
OCLC0140044833 (Celestial passengers : UFO's and space travel] by Margaret Sachs, with Ernest Jahn) Probably not worth an interlibrary loan. John Vandenberg(

Thanks! Judging by the book's title, it may be the case that they are talking about the event as represented by
Charles Hoy Fort in his book New Lands (end of ch. 23). Fort often takes interesting historic astronomical data and places an, er, unusual interpretation on it: "If one will think that they were meteors, at least one will have to think that no such meteors had ever been seen before".

Davidson, M, (November?) 1913 "British Astronomical Journal" (probably Journal of the
British Astronomical Association, which I don't have access to); possibly volume 24 pp. 101-8
