’Ball Os Fire’ Is Reported Sighted Sight Reported By Hoosier Residents Indianapolis. Aug 2 (UP> A couple of hundred Hoosiers were ready to swear today that they saw a ball of fire bourn ing around the sky last night, shooting off spirals of sparks wike a Roman candle The "ball of fire" was sighted shortly before midnight by residents of Indianapolis and vicinity They flooded newspapers, radio sta Hons, tlie weather bureau, police and local army fields with tela phone calls. Nearly everyone said the fire ball .came out of the east, drifted first south, then west and north in’o a cloud and disappeared One of the witnesses was city police inspector Leolin Troutman. He said he watched it for 20 min Utes. ('apt Joe Fernandos, officer of the day al Stout Field, said one excited caller told him he saw a "flaming flying disc.” The airport weather bureau re ported its observers did not see the hall of fire. Neither did two Trans-AVorld Airlines pilots who left their course to Investigate the ball over the city. Emsley Johnson. Jr. a member of tlie Indiana Astronomical society. said he didn't sep the ball of fire But he said he thought it was just a practical Joke. "A long time ago I used to send up large paper balloons on the Fourth of July." he said. "They had Inflammable material immersed In kerosene in the bottom. As it burned the gas filled the balloon and sent it up They stay up as long as the fire burns." Johnson said it might have been a similar type of balloon from some experimental station. "Then again." lie added, "maybe somebody's having some fun." Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
