P).-The rocket Of the first

possibly into the South Pacific
hundreds Of miles of South
America. DR.. Fred L. Whipple.
director Of the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory said.
DR.. Whipple said rapid
changes in the circling time Of
the rocket indicated it was los
ing altitude rapidly and head
ing toward the denser lower
atmosphere that would burn
it up.
A Los Altos. Calf, moon
watcher, Roy N. Griffin. re-
ported he sighted the rocket at
1909 pm. EST. He said it was
brighter than the planet Venus
or any other object In the sky
except the moon.
This led DR.. John S. Rine-
hart. assistant director Of the
Smithsonian, to speculate that
the satellite might have been
starting TO burn up.
Likely Over Pacific
II the rocket was starting 10
burn up over California, DR..
Whipple said. it might last q
few thousand miles but it
would be unlikely TO be seen
again.
Its path would take it over
the Pacific Ocean. then across
lower South America near Ar
gentina. II it survived that far
II passed over many thousands
of miles Of open water in the
South Atlantic before crossing
the Indian Ocean.
The next land in its path
would be India. DR.. Whipple
cautioned that no observations
were positive but he believed
there was legitimate reason to
believe the rocket may not
have survived much beyond
the California passage.
Looks Abroad for Proof
DR.. Whipple said that if the
rocket should still be circling
the earth tomorrow-and Re
doubted it would be-then tbs
proof would have to come from
England or elsewhere in Eu-
rope. Britain has a big radar
telescope at Jordrell Bank that
tracked the rocket earlier today.
The Los Altos moonwatcher.
Mr.. Griffin, said the object he
saw was of minus-6 magnitude
brightness. but he later said
what he saw might have been Q
plane and not the rocket.
Nevertheless DR.. Whipple said
that. even if what Mr.. Griffin
saw was the sunset CLINT Of an
airplane. he (whipple) would
still believe the rapidly chang
ing orbit spelled doom for the
rocket. possibly within hours.
Tracked at lO7 Miles
Stanford University's big ra-
dar telescope at Palo Alto
tracked the rocket at 7:il:35
pm. EST. at an estimated
height Of l07 miles above the
earth.
Earlier today the Smithson-
ian scientists foretold the space
