straight horizontal line. They glided majestically out of the northwest and soared away to the southeast. “Other bodies were seen coming from the northwest,” the professor wrote, ‘“‘emerging from precisely the same place as the first one. Onward they moved at the same deliberate pace. In twos or threes or fours, with tails streaming behind them they came.... They traversed the same path and headed for the same point in the southeastern sky...” Very odd meteors, indeed! The year 1913 was just one of the recently rediscovered UFO flap years, with all kinds of strange objects being reported in the sky. The late Morris K. Jessup, a professional astrophysicist, was espe- cially interested in the fireball-comet-meteor reports and studied them extensively. In his book, The UFO Annual (1956), he described many of the meteor reports of 1955 and had this to say: We are having an influx of fireballs, and these have had an unusual amount of attention because of their number, brilliance, and the Kelly-green color of some of them. There does, indeed, seem to be something queer about them... For the record, it might be stated that the green fireball flurry did not originate in the United States, but apparently in Sweden [1946]. This was a few years ago and essentially before the greatest intensity of interest in UFO or saucers. They were then thought to be Russian rockets or missiles; and to this day we cannot prove that they were not Russian. In the United States the green fireballs made their debut in New Mexico and were thought to be associated with atomic energy experiments. Now, however, they have spread over much of North America and, frankly, we don’t know what they are nor why, nor from where. Toward sunset on the evening of Wednesday, April 18, 1962, a giant reddish object appeared over the northern part of New York State, apparently moving down from Canada in a southwesterly direction. Air Force radar locked onto the object and carefully followed it across a dozen states as it sped westward. Then, at 7:30 P.M., a brilliant flash followed by deep rumbles and earth tremors occurred in southwestern Nevada. Shortly afterward an unidentified circular object landed near a power station outside of Eureka, Nevada, and the lights went out for thirty minutes. Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Rolph of the North American Air Defense Command Center at Colorado Springs, Colorado, faced a throng of 134 / Operation Trojan Horse Odd ‘‘Meteor” Patterns
