As told by Joel de Deus Magno
English
Dr. F.* and many fellow townsmen of mine affirm that they saw it too. Some of these , whose seriousness one may not call into doubt, assure us that they made out a kind of flowers falling from the sky, which did not touch the ground but disappeared on reaching a certain height.
Português
O Dr. F. e muitos patricios meus affirmam que tambem o viram. Alguns destes cuja seriedade não é licito pôr em duvida, asseguram ter distinguido uma especie de flores, que cahiam do ceu, mas não tocavam no chão desapparecendo ao chegarem a certa altura.
