Indians Refuse Flights Over Meteor Crater
By Lyle Abbott

I.N.S. Special Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1 - The Indians of Northern Arizona are taking to airpl=
ane riding, but there is one spot they will not cross by air.
Pilots of transcontinental airways terminating here relate many adventure=
s among the Hopi and Navajo who are fond of gathering about the airports =
to see the man-eagles alight and fly away.
The fearsome spot to the Indians is Meteor Crater, near Winslow, Ariz. Th=
is is a pit 800 feet deep and three-quarters of a mile across in the flat=
 plateau. Science says that a few years before the birth of Christ a mete=
or struck that spot traveling at 60 miles a second. The explosion of the =
impact was so great that the unexploded fragments, if any were left, were=
 buried at least 1200 feet in the solid rock.
The Indians have no legends about the meteor. But they have a name which =
scientists declare explains it. The Indian name is literally translated "=
Star-Fell-Down."
Two transcontinental air paths cross the great crater.
