Orange
flash
mystery
CANBERRA,
Thursday. -- Aviation and weather
officials are unable
to
explain
the
cause of a bright
orange flash seen
by hundreds of
people in the sky
over Canberra last
night.
The flash was reported
at about 6.15 pm in the
north-east.
Many believed it was
a reflection of the
American high altitude
nuclear test over Johnston Islandbut the teat
was due to start at 6.45
pm EST and in fact
there Was no atom blast.
The flash, also seen
by air traffic control
officers at Canberra Airport, lasted for about six
seconds.
The assistant director
of Mt. Stromlo Observatory, Dr. A. R. Hogg,
I said as the flash was
not reported elsewhere,
it could have been of
local origin -- perhaps
caused
by
someone
sending up flares or
rockets near Canberra.

A meteorological balloon.
Mr. Howson said the
planet Venus was clearly
visible during the day
under some conditions.
Its position at the time
was about the same as the
direction of the sighting
of the object.
Meteorological balloons,
filled with hydrogen and
sent to high altitudes for
wind forecasting, were
visible from long distances
due to reflecting sunligh.t I
Because of the moisture

the ground they often ap- I

This effect could also
change color.
Mr. Howson said apparently the object disappeared suddenly.
This could be explained
by the fact that meteorological balloons normally
burst at varying altitudes.
The RAAF had previously investigated sight, ings which turned out to
be weather balloons, high..
