The witness was an astronomer, Clyde Tombaugh, at that time in charge of the optical instrumentation of the rocket-firing program at the White Sands Missile Range. He had thousands of hours of experience in observing the night sky and when still a student, had gained fame after months of patient searching of photographic plates, by locating the image of the planet Pluto near the position

It was noon. The Chicago Tribune carried
