Suest trom me for information about certain fi roballs which appeared in 1957,
sent me a considerable amount of useful information, “hich cen be used in the
Solution of the atmospheric paths and orbits of these bodies,
During the past yexr or so a lirge number of fireballs have
appeared over the eastern or south eastern states, and in the enses of the five
to be mentioned, I have been able to assemble a munber of observations, But
despite this I find it inpossible to mate good solutions. I an therefore rriting
vO urgently resuest that you be food enouch to send me copies of any or all
reports in your hands, dealing with these bodies,
I may add the Hydrographic Office of the U.S.Navy has for
over 30 years effectively cooperated in such work and as a conseauence it has
te
- v
been nossilble to solve for many eee teh fircdalls. Such esoniee tion from your
office, as a routine ter, would also bs invaluable,
ih Lond
- The specific bodies I now reauest information on ara:
