anything ever seen by this cbserver. My crew, although they did not
see the flash, were able to follow the cloud-type trail, and we expected
to see the dark object hit in the adjacent Great Salt Lake or at least
the shore immediately North of the estimated position.
In the rasultant search, our aircraft traveling a rear 300 MPH
true airspeed, could not reach the cloud trail nor see ence of an
object having struck the ground.
The Hill AFB tower was notified immediately and an

ing object sighted from Nevada,
Idaho and eastern Oregon. Some
ipilots insisted it was a meteorite
!that fell and started a forest fire
near the Utah-Idaho border.
Although Ogden avea observers
saw no particles falling after the
. explosion," a Salt Lake airport
tower operator said he saw a
"square black object" plummet to

and an explosion.
The C.A.A. man said he had no
reports of airplanes being down in
the area, but the characteristics
were not those of a falling aircraft
he said.
It was a Long Blue Streak"
Among those who saw it were:
Willard Nelson and Norman
Maero, South Ogden: It was a
long blue streak, tipped by an
orange fireball, which suddenly ex-
panded, then disappeared leaving
a haze of pale blue smoke. :
Robert Caufman of Salt Lake
City saw it from the mountain
highway south of Uintah junction.
His description tallied with the
others.
F Mrs. George Soteras, 148 26th
St., said it looked like a comet
with a long bluish-green tail.
Robert Sellick of Salt Lake City
said it appeared to be about 25,000
feet up when he first sighted the
object which "exploded with a yel-
low light, then a ball of fire kept
falling in an are."
He said it went out at about
10.000 feet leaving a cloud-like
pall of whiter smoke. He sighted
it from Layton.

fireball with a gaseous light blue smoke trail."
People know about meteors, including Charles
Osmond of Weber college . N. Thomas of the
University of Utah, agreed it had be awfully big.
A new twist was injected norning when W. S. .
Hobbs, assistant trainmaster at Montello, Nev., for the
Southern Pacific railroad, reported many railroaders and
others heard a heavy explosion about a. m. yester-
day and saw a column of smoke and hanging in the sky.
Montello is about 112 miles almost du west of Ogden
as the crow flies. Hobbs said the grayish-blue cloud, outlined
with yellow dust remained for several minutes, then gradu-
ally drifted away.
He said there was no known blasting in the area at the
time.
Ralph Gibbs, soil conservation official, and ranchers
E went out to investigate. They found a 60o-acre tract burned
in Dairv valley. 26 miles north and five miles east of Mon-

with a brilliant flash," and
said he heard no concussion, al-
though the flash lit the sky with
greater intensity than the sun.
Jay Nation, superintendent;
Paul E. Strong, general foreman.
and John Livingston, labor fore
man of a Utah Construction Co.
job at Vitro Chemical Co., 600
W. 33rd South, also reported see-
ing the flash, which they de-
scribed as a "wedge-shaped"
streak of fire which left a ball of
smoke.

long string of fire left behind the
falling object."
O. R. Olson. Ephraim, saw the
(lash as he emerged from Span-
ish Fork Canyon while en route
to Salt Lake City, he reported.
The object loomed before him
for about two seconds, then
streaked off into Utah Lake, he
sald. He described it as a "long
orange streamer following a pea
green fireball."
At 11:30 a.m. an air lines pilot
said he could see a "fresh" for-
est fire in scrub pine and sage-
brush near Pilot Creek, about 30
miles west of Wendover, Tooele
County.
Other airmen who converged
there thought the fire had been
started by a falling meteorite.
Montana Reports
Conflieting reports of resi-
dents seeing large planes in
flames, fireball meteor,
poured into sheriffs' offices, Civil
Acronauties Administration sta-
tions and police offices through-
out Central and Southern Mon-
tana, tana, but the CAA center in in
Great Falls said there said there were no
commercial or or private private planes
missing.
Dr. R. Dr. R. N. Thomas, associate
professor professor of of astronomy at astronomy at the
University of Utah. said if the the
flash was tha meteor "it
must have been awfully big." must have been awfully big."
Ordinary meteors seen at night at night
are about as big as are man's
thumb, he said, and usually are
about 50 to 80 miles above the
earth. The flash of earth. The flash of light, visible
to the eye, is caused by the mete-
or's terrific speed.
He said only a trained observer
by its brightness.
Charles Osmond, Weber Col-
lege astronomer, said the object
may have been a meteor. How-
ever, it would be unusual if one
was so bright in the middle of
the day, he said.
A. B. Carpenter, U. S. Weather
Bureau meteorologist, said that
we expect meteors in August
when we pass through the field,
but they easily could come ear
lier."
Couldn't Start Fires
Clyde T. Hardy, professor of
geology, Utah State Agricultural
College, Logan, who observed the
phenomenon, said he is sure the
object was a meteorite, but dis-
counted its ability to start a for-
est fire.
He said a meteorite, when it
hits the earth, is cool enough to
be touched by a human hand. It
couldn't start a forest fire, he
said.
