Report Meteor Buried in Field Near Alliance
ALLIANCE, Neb., Aug. 10 - (AP) The spot where a huge meteor which shook western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming Tuesday landed, was believed located yesterday about 35 northwest of here.
First reports said the meteor buried itself in a field, leaving a hole 25 feet or more across.
The meteor was seen by many persons in western Nebraska as it streaked northward across the sky leaving a long trailing plume of white smoke.
Persons 20 miles north of here saw the meteor apparently explode almost directly west of them with the largest mass of it falling to earth.
To those watchers came a booming roar almost three minutes later. The roar lasted about 30 seconds, a farmer, N.B. Jacobson, who hard it from the field said.
Calls were received here from as far away as Scottsbluff, where the meteor also was seen, asking where the giant explosion was. Telephone lines were busy long after the report as people believed an earthquake or great explosion had occurred. Dished and windows in homes 15 to 20 miles away were rattled by the concussion.
