THAT METEOR
SIoIrX CITY METEROIOGIST FOR,
WARDS A REPORT TO
WASHINGTON.

Sioux City, May 6.-After a detail
ed and comprehensive survey OF the
available facts pertaining to the me-
teor which burned a vivid pain
across the sky last Thursday night
G.. w. McDowall, meterologist, has
compiled the following report, a copy
of which has been sent TO the gov
eminent weather bureau oftice IN
Washington, ID. c.:
people i'm this section who were SO
fortunate as to be out OF door at
'9.52 D. M, May 81 had an opportu-
nifty TO witness a very unusual mete-
oric display. Accounts of eye wit
pesses vary greatly, but it Is genef-
ally agreed that the fiery mass huT-
lied earthward al followed by a
trail of light lasting only n Few MN
utes: that upon it's approach to the
oarth's surface, it exploded with
great force throwing a shower OF
light like a gigantic basket" rocket.
That II was not blown into small
fragments is evidenced by the fact
that. following the explosion, a roar
ing sound was heard as a part OF the
hody flew in a southerly direction.
The lurid glare of the explosion lit
M the entire sky probably three sec
onds as would an extraordinary
bright lightning flash folloWlne
which only the faint tran OF llgh'
was visible. together with a very
small. compact cloud of smoke when
in the moonlight resembled a cumu-
lus cloud.
About three minutes after the eN-
nlosion the cloud emitted a second
arv flash. followed by an explosive
renort that reached the observer one
and one-half to two seconds lateF
In about one-half minutes there oe.
CURED within the cloud a series o
explosions, probably half a dozen II
number, but no flash was discernlble
No further action occurred, Though
CLOSELY watched until the cloud dis
sipated in the curse of perhaps ~
minutes. In its dissipation tn
smoky character of tthe clouo wa
clearly evidenced.
The cloud was in about altitude
so degrees and azimuth 2lO degree
nj n height of 1900 to 1900 feet
Judging from the time required TO
the sound travel. Though the sur
face wind velocity was 10 mlle'
northeast, the cloud remained appar
emily stationary until its disappear
ance.
The display was witnessed within
a radius of nearly 100 miles. though
reports of the hearing of attendan
noise was confined to points mort
and northeast of this city. No trace
of m%eteorites could be found.
