UNCLASSIFIED M ctCJOrt fra th 11le Ameriean Meteoritics Society, whose mem&er..speclaRze br the study of meteon and meteorites, for yean have colTected re- ports of such phenomena. From a large enough nmnber of good descriptions of a given meteor, astronomen cal!' analyze t&e cl'ara . mathematically and determine the meteor's radiant-the point In the heavens from which It seems to come. Tile meteor Is then ld~tl Sed by its radiant and given an A~IS number. 11le data \Vere pub- lished in Aletcorltlu, the journal of the society; and tllas mad. available for future research. 11le records of the society for the yean 1950 t'o 1955fist dozens fireballs, many of them green, tllart were somehow overlooked by saucer enthusiast~. On August 11, r950, during the maximum of the Perseid shower, a blue-green Rreliall ( AMS 2336) apparently oval or cigar-shaped, appeared over \Vashington, Oregon, and Idaho at 7:30P.M. and was reported by more than 100 witnesses. So brilliant that it showed a noticeable disk, it Rew in a horizontal path, silently broiC:e into three pieces, and disappeared (8, p. 379]. -September 20, the sam~ year, was a big day for meteors. At 1 ;35 .\,M, .-ghmt flrebRU ( AMS aaa6) nmrcd over aQuthealt~ Illinois from north to south, leaving a luminous train visible in Sve states and illuminating the sky and countryside from St. Louis to Louisville and from ~lemphis to Knoxville. The final' detonatiOn; over westeru Kentucky, was heard over an area 1000 miles square and shook &uilclings from Paducah to Memphis; FragmentS show ered farms over a twenty-five mile area, struck five builcfmp, and penetrated one roof. About Rfty pounds of meteorites dropped in Murray, Calloway County, Kentucky, and are now in the Smith sonian Institution in Washington. That same night about 10:45 P.lo,,. fireballs were reported by plane crews flying over a six-state area- Idaho, \Vyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico [g. p. us].
