A large flaming object flashed
across the Denton County sky
about 6:30 p.m. Thursday, stirring
reports that an airplane had ex-
ploded over Lake Dallas.
But the object, reported by doz-
ens of Denton County residents,
was identlfed by weather bureau
experts as a meteor.
The aerial fireball was believed
to have come to earth near Hutch-
inson, Kan., a few minutes after
it was seen in Denton County.
Several residents called the Rec-
ord-Chronicle to report the flash
in the sky. .
“It was a large, flaming object,”
said Elmo Hunt of 124 S. Locust
“It looked like it might have been
a shooting star but it was much
bigger. It fell north of town.”
John Collier of Denton told the
Record-Chronicle the object look-
ed like an airplane. Collier said
it appeared to explode over Lake
Dallas.
A B-36 from Carswell Air Base,
Fort Worth, on a routine training
flight over Denton County, report-
ed to the Carswell control tower
that it saw the object here. <»•*>
Officers in three State Highway
Patrol cars saw the flame in the
