Spectators Cried ‘Oh’ Spectators in the stand cried “Oh!” as the white, liquid form sped inland from the direction of the English Channel. Spectators at a Rugby match two fields away saw it. One, Mr. Arthur H, Jenkins, postmaster of Chard, said ; “Tt was like a diamond flash; its shape was like a big peardrop, with the thin end tapering behind. oe it “Teiven’’ into nothingness.” 2
