Part of Local History Collection

Though your editors did not see it, from all reports it created an eerie feeling in those who were witness to its passing.
Dr. Peter Millman of the National Research Council , Ottawa, said the meteorite may have been a fragment of a planet that broke up millions of years ago and, if so, it probably had been orbiting the sun until it crashed through the earth's atmosphere."
