Initial data
The attention of John Graham was attracted by the sudden appearance of light in the heavens. He suddenly saw a stationary meteor between Aquila, Vulpecula and Anser. He increased the brightness for a second or more and disappeared to the East of the point where it was first spotted. Immediately after the disappearance of the first, the other three separated by intervals of three or four seconds, appeared and disappeared in the same place; except that one has gone a little to the West and the second East. The curiosity of Graham was brought, and he continued to follow until after a few minutes did not see a fifth meteor, corresponding in appearance to the previous one. The meteors resembled a star of the first magnitude.

Original news
Mr. John Graham “had his attention arrested by a sudden light in the heavens, and upon looking up he saw a stationary meteor between Aquila and Anser et Vulpecula, about right ascension 295°, declination 15°N. It increased in brightness for a second or more, and disappeared within less than half a degree east of the point in which it was first seen. Immediately after the extinction of the first, three others, separated by intervals of three or four seconds, appeared and vanished in the same place; with the exception that one disappeared about as much west of the radiant as the first did to the east of it. Mr. Graham’s curiosity was excited and he continued to watch till, after an interval of a few minutes, a fifth meteor, corresponding in appearance to the preceding, was seen in the same place. The meteors resembled stars of the first magnitude.”
