Title: The meteor of January 2, 1927 Authors: Wylie, L. R.
At 6:03 P.M. On the evening of January 2, 1927, Mrs. John Doe (name changed), the wife of a farmer living in southeastern Iowa, was going toward the barn to help with the milking. It was quite dark and Mrs Doe was carrying a flashlight to use occasionally. As she turned the flashlight on, the whole contryside became dazzlingly bright with a brilliant white light that swiftly turned to a greenish colour.
