Loud noises were heard in the sky, and stones fell from the sky, accompanied by a yellow powder that fell at Gerace, Calabria, on March 14, 1813. It had “an earthy, insipid taste,” described as “unctuous.” The Annals of Philosophy, 11-466, described one of the components as “a greenish-yellow substance, which, when dried, was found to be resinous.”
