He has checked reports of more than 29 celestial fireballs since 1032, three of them In the past six weeks. Poor visibility due to heavy clouds over the Northwest appar ently reduced the number of actur.l eyewitnesses to the Deo. 19 spectacle, Pruett reported. However, the IS reports which were transmitted to him by wit nesses gave sufficiently compre hensive data to permit a reason ably accurate determination of the .meteor's course and Its ap pearance. Pruett said the reports he received of this meteor coincid ed more decisively than usual, and the observations were made from wide-spread locations. One of the first reports of the flaming orange-blue object In descent over the Cascade moun tains came from Richard Bur dick of Springfield, a Greyhound bus driver. Burdlck said the meteor ap peared to be moving almost due north, and he described it as be ing torpedo-shaped. Confirming this, Pruett said, a report from R. P. Efflnger ,at The Dalles In cluded reference to certain stars to fix the exact line of sight for TRY THIS EASY, ECONOMICAL WAY TO MORE ATTRACTIVE HAIR For richtr-lookitig, more lustrous hair, massage tcalp with Cuticura Ointment to stimulate circulation and loosen dandruff.

The point where the meteor first became visible in its descent through the earth's atmosphere was not accurately lixed by the various witnesses, Pruett report ed. This wae probably due, he said, to the weather conditions. At present, Pruett is receiving reports of another meteor which was seen over southern Oregon and northern California after the 'torpedo" was seen. He expects to hr sufficient information on hand 10 permit plotting of this meteor's course In a week or so.
