In a special report prepured by the Australian Astrono- mical Society, June 1955, we learn more about the ubiquily and ch=:tructer of the fireball. The report reads as follows, ''1'here seems little doubt that the mysterious explosion th1t totntly wrecked a shop in the Adelaide suburb of Flinders Park at 2:20 a.m. on June 15 was caused by a meteorite. The shop measuring 15' x 20 had its walls blown out, roof blown off and contents de-. stroyed. Authorities have ruled out normal causes. In- vestigating the site before the dangerous walls and roof had been demolished, the secretary found no marks that could have been tributable to a meteorite striking the building. Later a watch was made as severn! tons of brick and morta r rubble was removed, much of it charred by the fire that followed the explosion. But, no trace of anything meteoric wus found or could be seen. From the large amount of debris present, however, it was possible that the meteorite shattered into small fragments upon impact. Evidence favoring the meteorite theory was given by an eyewitness account by a neighbor who stated thnt before the explosion she had seen a bright fireball flash ecro~c; the sky in that direction .... The direction of the I fall of the fireball d escribed by the witness agrees with the apparent entry of the meteorite into the building, as it was evident from the way the masonry fell ...
