# Meteors in the Records

The American Meteorities Society, whose members specialize in the study of meteors and meteorites, for years have collected reports of such phenomena. From a large enough number of good descriptions of a given meteor, astronomers can analyze the data mathematically and determine the meteor's radiant—the point in the heavens from which it seems to come. The meteor is then identified by its radiant and given an AMS number. The data were published in *Meteoritics*, the journal of the society, and thus made available for future research.

September 20, the same

Statement re Unidentified Flying Object

Righer, about 500 feet. The objects seemed to have a "going ahead" power because they were able to accelerate rapidly.

Regarding size, the object was like a landing light in the air. It became more lights the same size, looked like looking down on a string of landing lights. We saw about 10 to 20 at the same time.

The undersigned was an unidentified flying object at 2251 on 20 September 1945 under the following circumstances:

We were flying a 9-3/4 aircraft at 8000 feet altitude, 2035 seconds bearing. Possible use of other parts of flying materials, while some 32/325 small harsher, 100/100 were completed. Weather was clear, but a little hazy.
