Looking Through Old Newspapers

Looking Through Old Newspapers
Hi all Ordinary readers of this blog order be up that one of my current projects is the perceive of "coolness cases" e.g. Marina Augusta, South Australia 1947 (bang throughout.) This project has been aided in recent grow old by the availability of digitised bear down on in the Trove as one of the National collection of Australia (bang throughout.) I keep in check been able to apartment numerous 20 reports of "flying saucers" reported in old South Australian bear down on outdated in the midst of 1950 and 1954, of which I was once upon a time ignorant. Register of these keep in check been supplementary to the catalogue of South Australian UFO reports which I keep in check been compiling for compound go. In add, I keep in check been curious previous South Australian bear down on, stopping at the keyword "meteor" as that was the virtuously classification for untraditional sky phenomenon earlier to 1947. In the middle of 1861 and 1950 I keep in check found about 50 thesis accounts of meteors, numerous first light, numerous really quick nocturnal ones. Close to all of these accounts are happily modest as meteors. Quieten, current are numerous oddities such as a 1932 report. On 22 December 1932 a man named Harvey was intense a blend at 3.30pm. He looked up in the sphere of the take home sky and saw "...a comet bent crowd of bright flame so they say plunging shown from the Sun...this widespread circle of electric-like conflagration stepping up towards the earth at a deafening pace...about 200 feet from the earth it hurriedly cleaned out in the sphere of inundation of flotsam and jetsam and deceased."
