Expert Believes Astral

That the meteor that flashed

night, attracting the attention of
thousands of Indianapolis persons,
exploded from the intense heat
generated by its friction with the
air, was the theory advanced today
by Walter C. Gingerly, principal of
Washington high school and a STU
dent of astronomy.
The meteor, of unusual size and
brilliance, appeared about $50
travelling from the northwest to the
east. almost parallel to the horizon,
Gingerly said.
Many observers said the whole
northwestern sky was lit with
greenish glow. The meteor trailed
a red flare, but burst. Gingerly be-
