Falling Meteors Sighted in Nebraska and South Dakota
Local science circles report falling meteors near Ponca Nebraska and Hot Springs South Dakota. A ten inch diameter meteor struck a power line near Dennis O Flaherty’s home west of Ponca at night, shocking two steers and scorching a fence post. The O Flahertys and neighbors watched the fireball for hours before salvaging still too hot meteor fragments the next afternoon. A separate sighting near Hot Springs described a comet like red fireball that landed in a pasture, leaving a crater and a two pound metal mass after cooling. In Weston England miners blocked a highway after penalties for street football.
