Scientists On Trail Of ‘Exploding’ MeteorThat Ended Roaring Ride In Rain Of StoneII SMMhitcl Preui

IOWA CITY, lowa, April 29.Scientists are hot on the trail ofthe first magnitude meteor that

flashed over parts of Kansas, Colo-rado OkUhoma, Texas and NewMexico March 24.

Detailed studies are being madeby Prof. C. C. Wylie of the Uni-versity of lowa, president of theMidwest Meteor association, andProf. R. E. Crilley of lowa Wes-leyan college and others in thehope that much useful data willresult.

Observers Report SightOn the morning of March 24

the territory along the meteor’spath was flooded by a queer, blu-ish light. Wylie’s report fromTexline, Texas, indicated that ob-servers saw a dazzling, swiftly-moving ball of fire approach from•the northeast with terrifying in-crease in size and brilliance.

“A person’s first impressionwas that the ball of fire was com-ing straight for him and there wasan impulse to run,’’ Wylie notedin his reports.

“The mass of light sparkled andquivered, throwing off flashes ofvarious colors and sparks or coalswhich whirled back and droppedto the ground. It passed on tothe southwestern sky with foursharp flashes and extinguished it-self, leaving a luminous cloud of,dust conspicuous for half an houror more.” #

Explosion FollowedA minute or two after

pearance an explosion shook theearth, coming from the direction

v> f *

of a meteor,” Wylie said, “and‘ that they are pronounced for some| distance back along the path of ameteor, but are heard for onlya short distance beyond the ter-mination.”

Reports from various townsindicated that the meteor termi-nated before going as far as Tu-

| cumcari or Las Vegas, N. M., sinceexplosions are not mentioned inreports from those towns. Wyliechecked his reports with those ofH. H. Nininger of the Coloradomuseum in Denver.

Ended Near Roy, N. M.From Raton, N. M., Nininger

said,, the meteor seemed to disap-pear in the direction of Tucutn-cari, and from Clayton, it appear-ed to vanish toward Las Vegas.Lines drawn between these pointsintersect near the town of Roy,

! establishing at that point the ap-proximate spot where the meteorblazed momentarily as a huge ballof fire, vanished and fell to theearth as stones.

Nininger’s interviews fixed theheight of disappearance at be-tween six and eight miles.

Meteorites Cool“There is no record of a me-

| teorite scorching anything,” Wy-| He said, “if found immediately af-!tcr falling they are cool, not hot.

| For this reason a meteor expert|is always dubious of the authen-ticity of a supposed meteorite re-|ported hot when found.

“When a recent spectacular me-teor fell, a lady in reality 300

jmiles away reported that it fellthrough a tree in a neighbor’s

i yard, burning off some limbs asI it dropped to the ground.”

'Observer* in several south-western states saw a meteorflash through the skies March24 and then extinguish its

.

light in what seemed to be anexplosion in the air near Roy,N. M. (Map).

“It is known that explosions aremost violent near the termination
