Large Meteor
Flashes Across
Southern Skies
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (/P)—A me
teor flashed through the sky to
the west of here early today and
apparently exploded in the air,
jarring an area from Paducah,
Ky., to Memphis, Tenn.
The Illinois Central railroad
dispatcher in Paducah said reports
from all along his line to Memphis
told of a jar of an explosion.
He said a railroad signalman at
Covington, Tenn., 40 miles north
of Memphis, told of seeing a ball
of fire in the sky getting larger
and larger, then exploding.
At Memphis, 220 miles south
west, the Shelby County radio of
ficer said one car reporter the me
teor hit in the vicinity of Hatchie
bottoms, a semi-swamp area be
tween Memphis and the Milling
ton Naval Base, about 20 miles
away.
| A report of the sky flash was
given in Memphis by American
! Airlines Capt. H. J. Garman, of
i Dallas, Tex. Garman had just
j landed a DC-6 with 41 passengers
i from Washington.
“We sighted that thing about
1:30 (1:30 a.m., CST) some 50
| miles east of Nashville,” Garman
said.
“I was flying at 18,000 feet and
it looked as though it came right
across our nose.
“I tell you, I never saw such a
brilliant flash of light before.”
