     A recent number of the Caleutta Gazette contains an account of an
aerolite, which fell at Shergotty on the 25th August last. A native, who
witnessed its fall, states that about 9, A. M. a stone fell from the
heavens, accompanied by a very loud report, burying itself in the earth
knee-deep, and at the same time the sky was cloudy and of a murky color, the
air calm, and no rain. The stone has been forwarded by the Government to the
Asiatic Society of Bengal.

The NPA in the subject line stands for Newspaper Article. The old list
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
