A strange phenomenon was witnessed early Monday morning, Oct 13, blazing its way through the heavens between 5:00 and 5:30 a.m. The ball as described by W. Farion was a flaming luminous mass with an orange-tinted wake. The tail left by this object was made up of smoke as well as of flames. This "celestial invader" described as being about the size of a baseball was reported to have passed rather slowly from west to east. Corroborated account: M. Parion, Barry Lipsett and Jim Park.
