Background
At 6:00 p.m. a golden object was seen at Ballyarthur, County Wicklow, Ireland. It moved in the southwest sky for 4–5 minutes. It apparently descended behind Croghan Mountain. Eberhart cites a correspondent's letter published in Nature on 27 October 1898. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
