FLAMING METEOR
SEEN AT SHELDON

Sheldon. June A flaming meteor
trailed down through the air from a
short distance OF the horizon when II
seemed to explode and burn itself out
The light which 1t cast was a most
brilliant white light at the head and
trailed off into red light. The illumin-
alton was so brilliant as to cast arti-
flcial light in the homes into the shade
and to make the bright moon look like
a sickly ball of red fire.
The display occurred at s:55 2. m.
and was followed in three minutes by
two distinct explosions OF sufficient
violence to rattle windows and dishes
and to shake houses.
