  5. object Professor Edward Hitchcock went object Professor Edward Hitchcock went to live in Amherst he says that years to live in Amherst he says that years to live in Amherst he says that years later another object like the one said later another object like the one said later another object like the one said to have fallen in 1819 had been found at to have fallen in 1819 had been found at to have fallen in 1819 had been found at nearly the same place Professor nearly the same place Professor nearly the same place Professor Hitchcock was invited by Professor Hitchcock was invited by Professor Hitchcock was invited by Professor Graves to examine it exactly like the Graves to examine it exactly like the Graves to examine it exactly like the first one corresponded in size and color first one corresponded in size and color first one corresponded in size and color and consistency the chem reactions were and consistency the chem reactions were and consistency the chem reactions were the same Professor Hitchcock recognized the same Professor Hitchcock recognized the same Professor Hitchcock recognized it in a moment it was a joinus fungus he it in a moment it was a joinus fungus he it in a moment it was a joinus fungus he did not satisfy himself as to just the did not satisfy himself as to just the did not satisfy himself as to just the exact species it belonged to but he exact species it belonged to but he exact species it belonged to but he predicted that similar fungi might predicted that similar fungi might predicted that similar fungi might spring up within 24 spring up within 24 spring up within 24 hours but before evening two others hours but before evening two others hours but before evening two others sprang sprang sprang up or we've arrived at one of the oldest up or we've arrived at one of the oldest up or we've arrived at one of the oldest of the exclusionists conventions or not of the exclusionists conventions or not of the exclusionists conventions or not noo we shall have many data of noo we shall have many data of noo we shall have many data of gelatinous substance said to have fallen gelatinous substance said to have fallen gelatinous substance said to have fallen from the sky almost always the from the sky almost always the from the sky almost always the exclusionists argue that it was only exclusionists argue that it was only exclusionists argue that it was only nosto an Alia or in some respects a nosto an Alia or in some respects a nosto an Alia or in some respects a fungus growth the Rival convention is fungus growth the Rival convention is fungus growth the Rival convention is spawn of frogs or of fishes these two spawn of frogs or of fishes these two spawn of frogs or of fishes these two conventions have made a strong conventions have made a strong conventions have made a strong combination in instances where testimony combination in instances where testimony combination in instances where testimony was not convincing that gelatinous was not convincing that gelatinous was not convincing that gelatinous matter had been seen to fall it was said matter had been seen to fall it was said matter had been seen to fall it was said that the gelatinous substance was noo that the gelatinous substance was noo that the gelatinous substance was noo and had been on the ground in the first and had been on the ground in the first and had been on the ground in the first place when the testimony was too good place when the testimony was too good place when the testimony was too good that it had fallen it was said to be that it had fallen it was said to be that it had fallen it was said to be spawn that had been carried from one spawn that had been carried from one spawn that had been carried from one place to another in a

  6. place to another in a place to another in a whirlwind now I can't say that nosto is whirlwind now I can't say that nosto is whirlwind now I can't say that nosto is always greenish any more than I can say always greenish any more than I can say always greenish any more than I can say that blackbirds are always black having that blackbirds are always black having that blackbirds are always black having seen a white one we shall quote a seen a white one we shall quote a seen a white one we shall quote a scientist who knew a flesh-colored nosto scientist who knew a flesh-colored nosto scientist who knew a flesh-colored nosto when so to know what's convenient when when so to know what's convenient when when so to know what's convenient when we come to reported Falls of gelatinous we come to reported Falls of gelatinous we come to reported Falls of gelatinous substances I'd like it to be noticed how substances I'd like it to be noticed how substances I'd like it to be noticed how often they are described as whitish or often they are described as whitish or often they are described as whitish or grayish in looking up the subject myself grayish in looking up the subject myself grayish in looking up the subject myself I have read only of greenish nosto said I have read only of greenish nosto said I have read only of greenish nosto said to be greenish in Websters Dictionary to be greenish in Websters Dictionary to be greenish in Websters Dictionary said to be blue green in the new said to be blue green in the new said to be blue green in the new international international international encyclopedia from bright green to olive encyclopedia from bright green to olive encyclopedia from bright green to olive green science gossip green science gossip green science gossip 10114 green science gossip 10114 green science gossip 10114 green science gossip 7260 greenish notes and queries 7260 greenish notes and queries 7260 greenish notes and queries 111219 it would seem acceptable that if 111219 it would seem acceptable that if 111219 it would seem acceptable that if many reports of white birds should occur many reports of white birds should occur many reports of white birds should occur the birds are not black birds even the birds are not black birds even the birds are not black birds even though there have been white blackbirds though there have been white blackbirds though there have been white blackbirds or that if often reported grayish or or that if often reported grayish or or that if often reported grayish or whitish gelatinous substance is not whitish gelatinous substance is not whitish gelatinous substance is not nosto and is not spawn if occurring in nosto and is not spawn if occurring in nosto and is not spawn if occurring in times unseasonable for spawn the Kentucky the Kentucky phenomenon so it was called in its day phenomenon so it was called in its day phenomenon so it was called in its day and now we have An Occurrence that and now we have An Occurrence that and now we have An Occurrence that attracted a great deal of attention in attracted a great deal of attention in attracted a great deal of attention in its own time usually these things of the

Summary

The history discusses reports of unusual substances falling from the sky, such as the reddish substance in Chaon and the pulpy object in Amherst, Massachusetts. These accounts, referencing sources like the American Journal of Science and the Annual Register, were often explained by natural phenomena like whirlwinds or dismissed as hoaxes. The takeaway is the historical tendency to attribute such unexplained falls to earthly origins, even when the nature of the fall itself is unclear.
