Summary

A 210-page continuation of numbered Air Force incident summaries with supporting letters and clippings. The first entry, Incident 101, records a Feb. 18, 1948, explosion over Norcatur, Kansas, with "Meteor" entered under apparent construction, and remarks quoting amateur astronomer Oscar Monnig that meteorites, including one of about 109 pounds, were later recovered; a Feb. 20, 1948, letter from a Pueblo, Colorado, resident speculates it might have been a rocket headed for the moon. Much of the remaining scan is garbled.

Note

The opening case was explained as a meteor in the file itself; the rest needs page-by-page review.
