Plate 55 



Terrain covered by witnesses. Circles represent locations of some of the witnesses; thin black 

 lines represent their observations onto the trajectory; broken black lines represent estimates 

 q{ the top of the visible smoke trail. Thick black line represents estimated path of meteor 

 as seen in plan from top of visible trail to its end. Broken continuation of line to northeast 

 represents reports of "swirling clouds," "clouds torn apart," "crows deserting roost," etc., up 

 to the point where in the absence of atmosphere it is estimated that the meteor would have 

 hit and where parts of it may be. 



Observations from the north are nearly all lofted into the air and are too high in elevation as 

 compared with those from the south, east, and west. 



Scale: /2 inch=10 miles.
