MEMO
PHILIP J. KLASS Oct. 7, 1968
Dear Hector:
UFO sighting...enclosed is a quick/dirty map plot Reference the Wm. Powors/Cuming County, Nebr.
of the location and estimated direction of the
UFO sighting and the meteor sightings reported on July 28 from
Ivarious points in Iowa.
The important question is whether Rogers merely
saw the meteor and badly mis-estimated : its distance
or whether he did indeed see a close-range plasma
which may have been precipitated by the meteor wake and drifted earthward.
I'm exploring the matter further with Rogers.

MEMO
PHILIP J. KLASS Jan. 28, 1969
Dear Hector:
At long last...an interim report on the Omaha
Fireball and the Rogers UFO.
This c could prove to be a very important case.
P.S. You probably will not hear much from me for the
next three months, prompting rumors that I have
(1) been kidnapped by a flying saucer, (2) gone
underground, ( am being held by the CIA or
Men In Black, (4 pewriter is broken.
Truth is that I am going skiing in Switzerland
for 3 weeks, and shortly after I return to U.S. after I curn to U.S.
I will head back for a 5-week business trip for 5-week business trip for
Aviation Week to visit avionics companies in
West Europe--then will West Burope--then will wrapped up writing wrapped up writing my my
stories. stories.
So please help to squelch any the above rumors. the above rumors

of the UFo locale, near Atlantic, Iowa
This case provides circumstantial evidence which appears to
confirm a hypothesis advanced earlier by Ferdinand de Wiess, Assoc.
Professor at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory,
that some that some UFOs might be plasmoids UFOs might be plasmoids created under freak conditions reated under freak conditions out s out

On Sept. 12, 1968, I wrote introducing myself as a private Ufo

Dear Mr, Klass:
West Point. Nebr, No one connected with the REA knows I observed the UFo, and
it is cossible that no one with REA knows me, since I am a visitor.
On my next visit to West Point I will pace off the distance if you wish, but
I was more or less loo yds from the UFo -- this hung suspended in the clear sky at
the heiaht of the transmission lines 6 anywhere between 20' and 50' from them.

The Uro which I have described is the third phenomenon I have observed in

darkly gathering storm with much lightning, I observed the following from S. to N.

My memory of the circum-

in their intense conversation that they did not observe the phenomenon pay any

report in a new light. A large daylight meteor had been sighted on July 28'at
approximately 1:45 p.m. (cDT) wnich apparently passed over the general area of
the Crouter farm and entered 120 miles to the southeast, near Atlantic, Iowa.
There were numerous eyewitness reports on the meteor, including one from the
crew of a United Air Lines jetliner, flying at 31,000 ft., approximately 180 miles
east of Atlantic, headed west toward Omaha. Several ground observers at Atlantic
reported hearing a "muffled boom" while on a golf course and seeing a "rainbow-like
cloud:. overhead. As the UAL crew approached Atlantic 17 minutes later (2:02 p.m.)
it said it could still see the meteor trail at an altitude estimated at 60,o0o ft.
The near-coincident time and location of the UFO sighting and the
meteor, officially called the "Omaha Fireball," suggests that the two events
might have been related. Several possibilities are worth consideration:
2. was the FO really the meteor fireball?
2 as the UFO really the persistent meteor trail?
3. has the UFO merely an after-image of the fireball itself?
i4. Has the UFO a plasma formed out of the meteor's plasma wake?
I wrote to ask how certain he was of the time of his sighting. Had he
immediately looked at his watch, or was it sometime I later that he had attempted to
estimate the time of the incident. He replied that it was the latter, so his 2 2p.m.
estimate was only approximate. He said he had returned to work "after a long noon
hour which did not begin until well after 12 noon."

looked like a ball of phosphorus, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake."
Another clippinga presumably from the same newspaper but a later issue, tells
of the visit in Lincoln, Neb.,
to investigate the meteor case. By triangulation of nerous reports received
from western Iowa quoted as saying that the meteor "was probably
traveling from a northwesterly to a southeasterly direction."
If this estimate is correct, the meteor's path would have taken it roughly
over the area wher orted his Uro sighting had occurred.

roughly along the flight path of the meteor--so far as is known.

In answer implied question in your letter, I would like to eanerate
a few of the thoughts that--at that time--led hat large pitssoids

Among the great number of ball lightnings i reported over the last hundrek
years were many with diameters up to several meters and with an observed ifte
of tens of minutes. In many cases the reports indicate the absence of thunder-
ionized.
The volume ot the plasma produced in the stagaation zone and augmented by
the abiated meteor material is magnitudes greater than of plasma
generated by a lightning discharge. This together with the high velocity of
the wake plasma relative to the free atmosphere, suggest large
plasma eddies in the shearzone.

I hope that the foregoing will help you to show that a rather large body
of evidence points in the direction of evidence I points in the direction of our terrestrial environment as the of our terrestrial environment as the
origin for many reported UFo's and that a considerable amount of resaarch in
this direction should be done before we go off into formulating theories that
belong in science fiction.
