York. !

II, FACTUAL DATA |

1. Iwo samples of foreign material were received and assigned Physics
Laboratory Numbers 6177 and 6178, |

----*

2. The samples were analyzed by emission spectroscopy, infrared, and X-ray
diffraction,

3. Emission spectrochemical analysis provided these data:

Principal — Calcium

Majors - Silicon, magnesium, manganese, aluminum, iron, titanium, chromium
Minor — Barium

Traces = Nickel, copper, sodium, silver /

4. The infrared spectra of the samples were recorded and placed on file. The

spectra revealed no significant absorption bands, All carbon—hydrogen
linkages were very weak,

5. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the material is non-crystalline
in structure and appears to be glass furnace slag,

III. CONCLUSIONS

Bota samples appear to be of the same chemical composition,

1. On 25 Jun 1960, molten substance fell in the area of Syracuse,
New York. These objects were turned over to the Intelligence Officer,
26th Air Division (Syracuse) and were further forwarded to AFCIN-4A
&@s possible Moon Dust hardware. This date, 25 June, coincides with
the approximate re-entry and disintegration of the siunen IV carrier
vehicle. (CONF)

1. It is requested that PWS furnish a composition analysis for each
sample. If the composition analyses indicate that these samples could
have been from Sputnik IV, photomicrographs and interpretations of the
photomicrographs should be made to show the heat transfer rarer.

2. It is further requested that PWS notify this office of the total
estimated cost before proceeding with this analysis.

l. It is suggested that the two samples be subjected to a preliminary investiga-
tion consisting of (1) a microstructural analysis and, depending on the results
obtained, (2) a spectrographic analysis for composition. At the conclusion of
this investigation, the results would be integrated and reported to ATIC, along
with recommendations, if any, for additional investigation and a cost estimate.

2. The estimated cost for-the performance of the microstructural analysis is
$150, and of the spectrographic analysis, $300.

3. Before proceeding with such an examination, PWS will await authorization.
