19 March 1719, Oxford, England: A physicist puzzled

Very bright, whitish and blue object moving from the west in a straight line at 8:15 P.M., much slower than a meteor. Multiple witnesses all over England, including the VicePresident of the Royal Society, physicist Sir H. Sloane, who saw it travel over 20 degrees in "less than half a minute." Although listed as a meteor, the slow speed is most curious.
