meteors, have om sighted in various parts of the country. Some peonls

Suggest that these might be rockets. Information received from authorized

circles reveals that such a thing passed over Adapazari and was seen to

explode in the air, Parts of it fell into a village nearby and killed a

sheep dog. The thing was found to be a rocket and the debris will be

inst nected by experts. Obers

Observers say that the rocket wnich is claimed to have come from the Northwest

was flying at an altitude of 2OO meters over Adapazeri before it fell.

According to FOROrs, it is possible that the rocket is connected with the

Mt Alagoz close to the eastern frontirrs,.
