## Summary
On August 12, the astronomer José Bonilla counted over 400 dark, unidentified objects crossing the sun while observing sunspot activity at Zacatecas Observatory in Mexico. He was able to take photographs, exposing wet plates at 1/100 second. He published an account of the event three years later in L'Astronomie, a French astronomy journal.
