Characteristics of the phenomenon
The least that can be said is that the form of the phenomena observed, their
dimensions,' colou.rsetc, are of the most variable, as can be j'ldged fromthe
following tables.

Dimensions
Here again we find a very wide range of data •. Each. case seems to be a special
case. In 38.64% t:r..ere is no information. In 41.8~ there is an apparent
diame~er which cannot be restituted because of inaccuracy over distance. In ~
of cases, the diameter is of the order of 1 meter. In 4.5PJ of cases, of the
order of 7 to 10 meters. In the other cases it varies between 1 meter and 70 meters.
Speed and traJ.:ectoq ...
