In re: blue-green light over Portland, Ore~on Dear Sirs: Last night I observed a peculiar celestial phenomenom, towhich I attached little significance until thifl mor11ing when I heard radio reports or a "meteoric" explosion over Se~ttle. Feeline that it oight ba or some value, ho~ver minute, to you I am reporting it as briefly as possible: On the night of April 10, 1952 at 10:15 P.M. I observed a light with a bluish tinge shining through the t hin strata of cloud s in the north-east section of the sA.y about 7'J to 80 dezree s ~bovc t l1c hori~oa; it appeared as a short streak, r ather t!~n a single spot, possibly due to diffraction or the. cloud layer. In intensity it \Jaa about that of a sea.rch-lisht shini~1g on the cloud~ but different in thre e ways fro1n the refleotio:i'l or a sea.roh-light 0.1 t:te cloud.u. \ l ) It ;n,(l .atl-re color to it than an ordinary aearah-light~ reflect~on (2) as stated above it appeared a. a a short straight ba1 rather than as a circular a:pot ( 3) It remained motionless for at least fifteen mpnutes which is not usual with search-lights previously observed in this area by me. After v~tching it for some five minutes from our yard I called my v1ife to observe it as she has a trained eye for color. She tolci me it h~B of a bluish-green color. . We v~tched it until 10:30 and then ~ent indoora. At about 10:40 or 10:45 P.M. \'te lool::ed for it again but the ligh t had vo.niehed fror1 the-: . sl~:y and so had the clouds in the o.rea where we hau originally observed --. it. There .vas no moon ;n that section of the sky cit~er( when I first ~-'t not iced the 1 ight throue;h t iie clouds I had t h ouc;ht that it l!tieht be only the moon shining through the clotals, but since there vrd.s no moon \ the1e when t.he clouds had moved av.ay ten minutes late r I con cluded that -\: it it was not the moon). ' \ This observation n1ay be meaningless but I send it to you for ;,ha.t- ever value it ma~ have.
