Incident #33 -- Boise, Idaho -- date unknown (probably November 1947)

Very little can be said of this incident, inasmuch as the date and exact time of observation, speed, altitude and size of object, and length of time in sight are not stated. The speed and time in sight are particularly important in forming a judgment. In the absence of this information, the most that can be said is that the object might have been a fireball.

Incident #93 -- Houston, Texas -- 2 November 1947

The information given here indicates strongly that the object observed was a fireball. There is nothing to suggest that it was not. As far as "failing into a nearby field" is concerned, that is perhaps the best-attested illusion with respect to these phenomena. Very frequently a fireball is reported to have fallen in a "nearby field" all along its track across two or three states.
