Window panes in residents in Tools River were shattered by the explosion,= and the gases, polluting the atmosphere for more then a quarter of an ho= ur, compelled the residents to hold dampened handkerchuefs to their nostr= ils. In Lakehurst many of the buildings were shaken, but the gases were n= ot noticed. The astmospheric phenomenom is said to have last for about a minute. Only= a tiny streak of light at first, it became beautifully colored as it nea= red earth and at times appeared to halt momentarily in space, adopt a new= course, then zig-zag back again. The meteor fell into the sea, about a mile off shore, at Seaside Park, 35= miles south of here, with an explosion that shook residences and threw s= pray to a great height. Volumes of steam then arose, and drilling ashore,= nauseated many. The meteor is described as having the appearance of a gigantic airplane o= n fire.
