GEOLOGY

Earth’s Crust Found
Thicker in Colorado

> THE EARTH'S CRUST is 30 miles thick
in eastern Colorado, only 10 miles thick in
the fertile central valley of California.

It is 20 miles thick in the high mountains
of central Nevada, a symposium on the
structure of the earth's crust in the western
United States was told in Denver. This new
knowledge resulted from seismic probings
of the earth's interior by underground nu-
clear and conventional explosions.

The explosions are part of the Vela Uni-
form program to find ways to detect, locate
anc identify underground nuclear explo-
sions. To do this, the structure of the earth’s
crust must be known to determine the paths
seismic waves travel from an explosion to
different points on the earth’s surface and
how long the waves take to travel these
paths.

The detailed study of the crust’s structure
in the West was under the direction of L. C.
Pakiser of the Interior Department's Geo
logical Survey. He said that the new infor.

The thickest part of the crust being

studied, Mr. Pakiser reported, is probably
under the Colorado Rockies, where it may
extend

down as far as 40 miles.

distance reduced to 62,100,000 miles. Still
better oppositions will come in April 1967
and May 1969. And then comes the very
favorable approach on Aug. 10, 1971, when
Mars will be only 35,000,000 miles away—
the best in the second half of the 20th
century.

Next month Mars will be farther away—
and fainter—than it is now, but will still be
a prominent object in the evening. And sO,
in the article for the March evening skies,
we will tell some of the interesting things
that astronomers have already learned or
surmised about this fascinating and mys-
terious planet.

BIOLOGY
Tiny Yeasts Survive
50 Years in Antarctica

> TINY LIVING THINGS—yeasts, molds
and bacteria—survived more than a half
a century in a frozen food cache left in
Antarctica by an ill-fated British expedition
to the South Pole.
Material from a one-pound bottle of
hakers’ yeast was grown at the University
Texas, Austin, by Drs, George H. Meyer,
ari¢ B, Morrow and Orville Wyss. It was
ivided into five parts from which cultures
two types of yeasts, two kinds of molds
d three species of bacteria were grown.
Entire cultures of bacteria and yeast were
eveloped from the lower three layers of
e material.
The food cache, in which the jar of yeast
as found, was left by the expedition of
papt. Robert Falcon Scott of the British
Royal Navy in his expedition of 1911,
The research was reported in Nature,

SONSERVATION
Ducks Poisoned by
Eating Shotgun Pellets

» LEAD POISONING kills an estimated
four per cent of the total duck population
cach year, but the poisoning is caused by
rating shotgun pellets and not by pellets
buried in the flesh as a result of wounding
by hunters, according to Wisconsin Con.
servation Department researchers,

The ducks mistake the lead shot for small
stones and grit, which they eat and store
in the gizzard for grinding up seeds and
pther hard foods, The digestive juices then

that can cause sickness and death,

Citrus Mites Not Stopped

Blenheim, New Zealand, February 4, 1963, On this date a housewife looked up into

a cloudless sky and saw a silvery flying object, shining very brightly. Its size

was 2 inches at arm's length. At first she could only see the underside of the
object, but later it moved away and she could see the upper part and the portholes
thereon. She observed it for about 3-4 minutes, Although the witness was not sure, |,
she estimated the object's altitude at 10,000 feet or more. A drawing made by the |
witness shows an elongated half-moon-shaped object with a fin protruding from one |

FEBRUARY 15, 1963

(Editors Note: On the 15th of February of -hic year, Mr. Charles Brew
of Willow Grove, Victoria, Australia, observed a UFC hover over his dairy farm,
The Original account of Mr. Brew's sighting was published in our June issue,
Recently, the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society, P.O. Box 32, Toorak,
. .». Victoria, Australia, sent us a transcript of a tape-recorded interview between
<* Mr. Brew and Mr. Peter Norris, President of V.F.S.R.S. Along with this transcript
=* are letters from the Australian Air Force & Government regarding Mr. Brew's sight-
-". ing, as well as a drawing of the UFO seen by Mr. Brew. We present here the full
transcript of the tape, as well as photocopies of the letters & drawing).

“_" Question: What time did you make the sighting, Mr. Brew?
> Answer: It would be about 10 past 7, it was. Yes, 10 past 7, definitly.
Qe What were you doing at the time?
A. We were milking and half-way - approximately haifway - through, I'd say.
Q. Yes. How cid you notice the object come down?
ere A. Weil, I was lookin' out over the cows as 1 referred to you 3 while ago and it
“= * came down very steeply out of the east. Oh, I'd say about 45 degrees.

@. And what did the object look like when you first saw it? "hat were your ree
sections?

A. Aell. I thourht it was a heliccoster at first.

A. oh weld, I noticed f{irat of sil the coloring an fter that, the top 2/3 when it
came down & hovered. was staticnary ana the lower section wae turning anti-clocr-

wise - noticed that - and aiso #8 I pointed out, those acoop~- like protrusions
around the side which I think was makine the noise - the ewishing noise, that is.
Q. And at this stage, how far was the chiect from you?
A. Oh I'd say 75 feet away - perhaps a little further ~ and about the same distance
up in the air.
Q. How did you calculate the height of the obdject‘
- Ae Well, I calculated the height by those trees. i‘d say they were approximately
7 75 feet high. It might have been a shade higher than those, of course.
“"Q. Yes, that would -be quite risht I'd say. Now once again, getting back to the
“y general appearance of the object, can you describe the top part of the object?
wR, Well, the top, the very top eection, the dome section, that is, was sort of what
‘nee we would call Perspex or glass material or whatever you iike out whatever that
‘oe waa, I couldn*t say. The middle section, that is the middle se@tion between the
“>. Perspex and the part that was rotating, was sort of battleship grey and looked to
7s me like some bit of netalitc material. I couldn't say for sure, of course, and
the bottom as I said was rotats ng in an anti-clockwise direction. Well I couldn't

A. Yes, as I said, the C.S.1.8.0. (Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research
Organization) were here and number 1 question as far as they were concerned -
he asked me did I ret a headache. I said: "Well it's strange that you should
ask. me that because I thousnt it was too ridiculous, 4 would have never mention-
edit. But 1 did get an awful headache just behind the eyes. + never suffer
with headaches normally and I took a Bex and I went in but it didn't seen to
have any effect. it just wore off itself towarde the night - took all day long
to wear off."

we. When did you first get the headache?

A. Oh, when + was gasing at the Yerspex canopy business I noticed it.

Q. It came on immediately, did it?

“A. Yes, more or less. Yes, yes.
“QQ. What did the C.S, I, R.O. man say? Incidentally, do you know his name? What's
iy his name? .
A. Er, Mr. Berson. Yes, Mr. Berson was his name.
Q. And what did he say ahout the headache?
A. "Well," he said, "that ties in with our theory, we always had the impression
that it was...." (what would you say?) he gave me the impression it was elec-
tromagnetic or something to that effect - that's beyond me - but he said that
would more than likely cause a headache and it certainly took all day to get
rid o f it, anyhow. I know that.

Q. What else did the C.S.i.K.9. do?

A. Well, as 1 said, he took away samples of rock - they were very interested in
that - tecause he said teing a sort of iron stone, it may have some attraction
for it. And there is the reef as i said and winds right through here and it
came over that reef, more or less parallel with it.

Salts

ae How long after the- sighting occurred did the ©.5.1.R.0. come down here?

A. They were here sbcut 4 days alter and the Air Force about a week, or near the
best part of a weer after that.

OG. hm, the Air Force came down as well, oid they? Aho came down from the Air Force?

Ae Nell, Mr. Murdoch was one of them, the only name I can recall.
Was he in uniforc.

A. Yes, they were all ia unifors.

- They were officers, were they’

A. Yes, 2 would say hich officers, high-ranking officers, anyhow.

= hat did they do

A. Well, the photographed the surrounding country, that was the Baw Baws. Mt, Mce-
Donald. Long distance cameras and too light, cloud and cloud plus, you know,
how much blue was showing in the sky - all that sort of thing. It's a bit be-
yond me, some of the things they done but, all those things.

Q. Did they have instruments?

A. Yes, they had the cameras and they lay tapping rocks and tcok particular notice
of the rock formation also. Don't know for what reacon they did. Yes, they
said that after I drew them the sketch that it was similar to sightings in
other countries. It tallied almost exactly to what's been seen over there, but
they didn't think it was quite so big as that. Yes. they said it was approx-
mately, to the best of their knowledge the lowest it had been & the best sighting.

Q. That was in Australia, was it?

A. Yes, from what I could gather, here.

Q@. Did anyone else come down from the government?

A. Yes, I had the aeronautical expert from, 4 think, liason officer I think that was
the Sale Air Base. He asked similar questions and he wanted to know if there was
any engine noise but we never heard any engine noise, not as we know engines today.

<a. To get back to the object itself, did you notice any light coming from the poiectiz ,
itself at any time?

A. No. There was no lightin the dome business and no lights underneath.

Record Breaking Cloud
Formation Over Southwest
At sunset on February 28, 1963, an

_ oval-shaped, ring-shaped cloud of silv-

ery-white color was observed by hun-

. dreds of people in Arizona, New Mexico

and California. It was seen as far south

.as Tucson, Arizona, Albuquerque in the

east and Los Angeles in the west. Its
diameter was approximately 50 miles,
with the cloud's south end sweeping over
Flagstaff, Arizona. As night advanced,
it became apparent that the odd phe-
nomenon was luminous and not just
lighted by the sun.

Studies conducted by University of
Arizona Atmospheric Physics Lab Chief
Dr. James MacDonald showed its height
to be an incredible 149,000 feet or 45
kilometers, He stated that the cloud was
higher than any ought to be. In a con-
versation with Mrs. Lorenzen by tele-
phone, he used the word “fantastic” to
describe the phenomenon. The upper
limit for clouds composed of water drop- |
lets or ice crystals is 42 kilometers, con-
siderable lower than the altitude of the
February form2tion. The highest known
clouds, which are designated as nacreous
or “mother-of-pearl” are usually observ-
ed only in arctic regions. They can reach
a height of 100,000 feet. Being shapeless
and formed by air moving up over moun-
tains into a region of severe cold, they
are the record-holders. It should be not-
ed that atmospheric conditions around
Flagstaff are not conducive to this type
of cioud.

During her conversation with Dr. Mac-
Donald, Mrs. Lorenzen was informed
that he was checking with missile sites
to see if a high-flying missile might ac-
count for the formation but to date the
origin of the cloud has not been deter-
mined. It remains a mystery. It has been
suggested by many that the object might
have been extra-terrestrial in origin, or
in other words, a vapor trail (perhaps
“angel's hair”) of sorts made by a high-
flying space craft.

Stratospheric Cloud over Northern Arizona

Stratospheric Cloud over
Northern Arizona

Abstract. An unusual ring-shaped

cloud was widely observed over north-

_-_———

ern Arizona near sunset on 28 February
1963. From a@ large number of observ-
ers” Féports it is Known to have ap-
peared overhead near Flagstaff, Ari-
zona, From initial computations based
on four photos taken in Tucson, 190
miles south of the cloud, its altitude
was approximately 35 kilometers. The
most distant observation reported was
made 280 miles from the cloud. The
cloud remained sunlit for 28 minutes
after local sunset. Iridescence was noted
by many observers. Tentatively, the
cloud may be regarded as similar to a
nacreous cloud; but its unusually great
height and unusually low latitude, plus
its remarkable shape, suggest that it was
a cloud of previously unrecorded type.

Near sunset, on 28 February 1963, a
cloud of unusual configuration and col-
oration was observed in widely scat-
tered localities in Arizona and some
surrounding states. The cloud took the
form of a Jarge oval ring (clear in the
middie) with the long axis runni
north and south (Fig. 1 and c
photograph, this issue). It remained
brightly illuminated well after the sun
had set on high cirrus clouds
West. From Tucson, 190 miles to the
south, its angular elevation appeared
to be about 6 degrees. A rough com-
putation of its height, based on sunset
geometry (/), made immediateiy after
the cloud entered the earth’s shadow,
led me to appeal by press and radio
for confirmatory reports in order to
establish the approximate location and
to secure descriptions from the largest
possible number of other observers.

From approximately 150 reports,
many communicated by persons well
aware that they had seen a type of
cloud unprecedented in years of sky-
watching, it was quickly established
that the cloud lay overhead in the
vicinity of Flaystafi, Arizona, that it
exhibited iridescence of the sort asso-
ciated with stratospheric nacreous
clouds in the arctic (2, 3), and that its
internal structure was very peculiar. To
observers nearly underneath, the colors
green and blue were visible, and a
pinkish cast was noted at times. A
fibrous texture, described by several in-
dependent observers as resembling a
“wood grain” appearance, was present
over much of its northern extent, but

Fig. i. Stratospheric cloud over Flagstaff, Arizona, from a point about 160 miles east-

southeast, after sunset.

The dark clouds in the west are cirrus clouds on which the

sun has already set. [I]. E. Daniels, Springerville, Arizona]

its southern end was denser and more
cumuliform. Its overall shape was com-
pared by some (ranchers) to a horse-
shoe or a horsecollar if it was viewed

from the south: from the north it ap-
I

norzhward, from the oval, and severa
observers in that sector compared its
shape with that of a “hangman’s
noose.” The cloud was seen from dis-
tances as great as 280 miles (near
Douglas, Arizona, and Albuquerque,
New Mexico, respectively).

Many observers reported a second
cloud off to the northwest of the main
cloud, with shape very much like that
of the main cloud, but only about a
Quarter as large. Correctness of
reports has been established from some
of the first photographs that have come
in from northern Arizona. The cloud
was evidently moving generally south-

S het eed

these

eastward, though visual reports are
in some conflict on this point: this

point can only be resolved from further
studies by triangulation.

By fortunate coincidence, the cloud
appeared within a few tens of miles of
the U.S. Weather Bureau radiosonde
station at Winslow, Arizona, and a
high-altitude sounding had been com-
piected there only an hour before the
appearance of the cloud. A jet stream
lay almost directly under the cloud
and over Flagstail, and there were peak

winds of 98 knots from the northwest
occurring over Winslow at an altitude of
about 11 kilometers. The radiosonde
run terminated at the 13-millibar level
of atmospheric pressure (about 29 km),
where the temperature was —46°C.
There was very little direction shear in
the Winslow wind sounding, a condi-
tion known to favor formation of
mountain waves and believed to be
conducive to nacreous clouds, at least
in Scandinavia (2). It is possible, there-
fore, that the San Francisco Peaks just
north of Flagstaff disturbed the flow so
that wave motion was set up in the
stratosphere, but this remains a con-
jecture, pending further study of re-
ports of first appearance. Whereas
some recent studies (4) suggest
strong local stratospheric cooling as a
prerequisite for the formation of na-
creous clouds, the sounding at Winslow
showed litth: departure from average
temperature conditions in the lower
and middle stratosphere.
Photogrammetric analysis of the four
photographs known to have been taken
in the Tucson area have yielded eleva-
tion angles of the near point ranging
from 5.9 to 6.2 degrees. Because the
exact range to the nearest point of the
cloud is not yet known to better than
about 10 or 15 miles in 190 miles, the
exact height cannot yet be determined.
However, the elevation angles

plus allowance tive

cited

for earth curvature

2 cloud height of 35 kilometers, pos-
sibly a bit higher if the range to the
Near point proves

greater than
190 miles. This height is distinctly

greater than that of reported Scandi-
navian macreous clouds. Photogram-
metric heights obtained over many

years by Stormer and others (2, 3) are

no higher than 30 kilometers, and the
majority lie between 22 and 28 kilo-
meters.

The estimated height of 35 kilo-
meters rules out the possibility that the
Flagstaff cloud could have been the
condensation trail from a jet plane. The
present American altitude record, made
under the most favorable conditions
directly above the home field by a
Lockheed F-104 in 1959, is 103,395
feet (31.6 kilometers). Perhaps more
conclusive is the fact that the upper
limit of height for possible contrail
formation (5) as indicated by the
sounding from Winslow was just under
2+ kilometers at the time of the cloud’s
appearance,

These preliminary indications mark
tne Flagstaff cloud of 28 February as a
most unusual phenomenon of consider-
adie. meteorological interest. Requests
for photographs, still being made at
time of this writing, have already
brought promises of photographs from
a total of 16 sites reasonabdiy well dis-
persed around Arizona, so fairly pre-
cise data on the cloud'’s height, sha
dimensions should be obtainable
by triangulation. A conflict between
estimated from the
proios and from sunset geometry is
under study (the indicated height based
on available reports of fadeout time is
about 25 kilometers). Premature fade-
ou; may have been due to cirrus clouds
between the cloud and the ray-tangency
point, computed to lie at or very near
Los Angeles.

The hydrodynamics of the field of
vertical motion that produced such a
toroidal cloud form are very puzzling.

resent estimates give the closed oval
a length of about 60 kilometers and a
width of about 30 kilometers, with a
ring eress section of perhaps 3 to 4
kilometers in the horizontal. I am not
aware that a cloud of such form and
size has been observed at any level
within the atmosphere before. Interest-
ing questions about the source of the
requisite water vapor are posed by its
unprecedented altitude (6).

ASTRONOMY

Science News Letrer for January 26, 1963

Mars Now Closest to Earth

The red planet Mars, closer than it has been for two
years, shines brilliantly in the February sky, but brighter still
is Sirius, the dog star, James Stokley reports.

> OVER in the southeastern sky on Febru-
ary evenings you will see a brilliant object
shining with a distinctly red color.

This is the planet Mars, now closer than
it has been in about two years; closer than
it will be for about two years to come. It
will be nearest on Feb. 2, when it will be
62,280,000 miles away. And because of this
relatively close approach, it is shining bril-
liantly. Its magnitude, using the astrono-
mer’s scale of brightness, is minus 0.9.

However, Mars is not as bright as the
star known as Sirius, the dog star, in the
constellation of Canis Major, the great dog.
This is in the south, lower and to the right
of Mars. Both star and planet are shown on
the accompanying maps, which depict the
sky as it looks about 10:00 p.m., your own
kind of standard time, at the Arst of Feb-
ruary; 9:00 p.m. at mid-month and §:00
p.m. at the end. The magnitude of Sirius
is minus 1.4, or about 58 per cent brighter
than Mars, ‘although we see it somewhat
dimmed. Being lower than Mars, some of
its light is absorbed by the greater thickness
of the atmosphere that it must penetrate.

Mars in Cancer

Mars is in the constellation of Cancer,
the crab, which is not a very conspicuo LS
group of stars. Toward the left and a little
lower is Leo, the lion, with first n 2 reais
Regulus, represented by the symbol for a
fainter body because it is low enough in wie
sky that its light is somewhat dimmed by
atmospheric absorption. To the right of
Cancer is Gemini, the twins. In this. figure
stands Pollux, also of first magnitude.

Gemini is one of a group of six promi-
nent constellations which are seen at their
best on evenings of mid-winter. Directly
below the twins is Canis Minor, the lesser
dog, with brilliant Procyon. Still lower, and
a little to the right, is the great dog, Canis
Major, with Sirius.

Higher and to the right of the great dog
is the constellation generally considered the
finest in the sky. This is Orion, with two
stars of the first magnitude: Betelgeuse,
above, and Rigel, below. Between them are
three stars in a row that represent the belt
of the warrior that this figure is supposed
to represent.

Still higher—and still farther right—is
Taurus, the bull, with Aldebaran, reddish
in color, to represent the animal's eye. And
above this group, directly overhead, in fact,
stands Auriga, the charioteer. This also con-
tains a star of the first magnitude, called
Capella.

\lthough Mars is the only planet shown
on the maps, another is visible earlier in
the evening than the times for which they
are drawn. Jupiter, of magnitude minus 1.6

and slightly brighter than Sirius, is in
Aquarius, the water carrier. It sets in the
west about 8:00 p.m. at the beginning of
the month and about an hour earlier at the
end. But you can easily find it earlier in
the evening as it shines so brightly in the
southwestern sky. And early in the morn-
ing, for about two hours before sunrise,
Venus shines, even more brilliantly, in the
southeast.

It was because Mars is now the closest
it has been for the past two years or will
be for the next two that Soviet scientists
on Nov. 2 launched their spacecraft, Mars I,
to make closeup pictures of Mars before it
has receded too far from earth. The space-
craft will probably pass quite close to the
planet, but it has to radio its pictures back
to earth, and that means that the planet
cannot be too far away.

Actually, for a so<alled “close approach,”
Mars is now quite far away! It came to
somewhat more than half this distance in
September 1956 and will do so again in
Avoca 1971. Then, no doubt, many impor-
tant observations will be made of Mars—
from the earth, from satellite observatories
circling the earth, and from spacecraft flying
near the planet.

Mars goes around the sun in a year equal
to 687 of our days, We go around more

rapidly, and every 780 days (about two
years and two months) we go past it. At
such a time we are closest to Mars, which
is in a direction opposite to that of the sun.
Such an event is called an “opposition” of
Mars. About halfway between oppositions,
earth and Mars are in opposite directions
from the sun. As seen from earth, Mars
is in “conjunction” with the sun.

The earth's mean distance from the sun
is 93,000,000 miles; that of Mars is 1I41,-
500,000 miles. If both planetary orbits were
exact circles, at any opposition Mars would
be 48,500,000 miles away (the difference
between the two distances). At conjunction
they would be 234,500,000 miles apart (the

sum of the distances).
Orbits Elliptical

But both orbits are elliptical, that of Mars
even more so than ours. The result is that
if we happen to pass Mars at the point
where the two orbits are closest, it will be
only 34,500,000 miles away. That almost
happened in 1956 when the minimum dis-
tance was 35,200,000 miles. Then we swung
around our orbit far away from Mars, and
when we passed it again, in November
1958, the planets were separated by 45,-
400,000 miles. The next opposition came at
the end of 1960, with 56,500,000 miles. And
now, in February 1963, even though we
swing toward Mars, that planet is 62,280,000
miles away.

The next after this will come in March
1965 and it will be a little betrer, with the
