e'Ball Of Fire

In Night Sky
Awes Florida

MIAMI, Fla., June 6.—(UP)—
Thousands of Floridans wond-
ered today whether the explosive
ball of fire and trail of light
they saw in the sky last night
was a meteor, a bomb, or some-
thing even more mysterious.

plosion, according to the high-
way patrol, which was swamped
with telephone calls from citi-
zens demanding to know what
had happened.

Police and authorities at mili-
tary installations also reported
seeing the “ball of fire” that
streaked across the sky.

At MacDill Field in Tampa,
the Army Flight Service ac-
knowledged having seen the phe-
nomenon but clamped a “re-
stricted” label on whatever fur-
ther information it had concern-
ing the flash.

Officers at MacDill Field said
that since the “flying saucer
scare” they hade a practice of
withholding statements until
they could thoroughly explain
| the cause of such phenomena.

Officials at the Naval airport
and Coast Guard here reported
that an explosion occurred with
a tremendous burst of light
across the sky at 7:50 p. m.
(EST). A _ trail of * luminous
gases and particles streaked
| across the sky for 50 to 60 miles,
they said, and was visible for
25 minutes.

Two forecasters at the Miami
weather bureau were outside
working with their instruments

-——| and described the phenomenon.

_ JT. Li Moore said the sighted
object “appeared somewhat
smaller than a full moon. It lit

up the sky to the northwest and

fell vertically, leaving a lumin-

ous, weaving trail.”
W. R. Davis said he had never
seen anything like it before. “A

meteor usually flashes and is
gone,” he said, “but this was a
larger explosion than that of an

ordinary meteor and the tail re- |

mained visible for at least 25
minutes.”
