dc.description	UAG R-163, Cloud Report Number 3, Introduction: Noctilucent clouds (abbreviated NLC) began to attract the attention of scientists in 1885; the first recorded observation of them, recognizing that they were an unusual and remarkable phenomenon, was made by T. W. Backhouse (1885) at Kissingen, Germany, on June 8 of that year. Many other observations were made at about that time; in later years the number reported rose and fell, partly depending on the attention given to them by interested observers. Over a thousand occurrences are on record so far. The purpose of this report is to collect together all the reports from widely scattered sources in the literature into one complete listing of sightings.	en_US
