Two
was observed by the F-9h, the other was not. However,
the unidentified object could not be the unobserved C-54 due to the speed factor.
The F-94, at 375 knots, could have overtaken C-54 There may a balloon
launch at 2l00z from Goose. Air Weather Service but here again there is a conflict
C because the 'object was sighted at 23l5z, two hours after launch. An astronomical
explanation does not ring true since it is improbable that stars and meteors s can
be recorded by ground radar or airborne radar. Therefore, plausible explanation
for this sighting seems impossible.

Third Officer C. H. Chandler of the British S. S. Muncaster
Castle, Capt. A. G. Gorl rham, Master, reports th while on passage
from Adelaide to Aden at 2120 G. M. T.I ember 8, 1952, in
lat. 9°42' S., lon. 69°54' E., he observed a m meteor which first
appeared bearing 270° altitude 20°. It had a reen spherical
head and a bright white trail of minor explosions. Three sec-
onds later, in hearing 250° altitude 10°, the meteor exploded
with a terrific bright green flash which lighted up the sky in the
west. A few minutes later a bright white flash was observed
briefly bearing 280 altitude 60°.
Weather partly cloudy, slight easterly breeze, slight sea and
low swell, barometer 29.90 inches, air temperature 85° F., sea
temperature 83° F.

white color for about 3 seconds and of such brilliance that the
entire area was lit up and the vessel's superstructure cast shad-
ows on the deck. The meteor then turned yellow gold and seemed
to lose speed before disappearing behind a cloud, leaving no
visible trail.
air temperature 68° F., sea temperature 3o F.
A cooperating observer reports that at 1630 G. M. T. 15 De-
cember 1952, in lat. 54°07' N., lon. 166°20' W., he observed a
meteor of an intense blue color with a white streaming tail. It
appeared in altitude 35° bearing 225° and disappeared in altitude
15 bearing 175°.
The following night at 0857 G. M. T. 16 December 1952 he ob-
served another meteor, bright green with a brilliant white cen-
ter, which appeared in altitude 50° bearing 260° and disappeared
in altitude 15° bearing 265°.
Weather clear, very good visibility, moderate sea, barometer
29.78 inches, air temperature 29° F.
