This is a report of observations by 4 scientists who witnessed the flight of a great meteor as they were returning from the Eighth (Flagstaff, Arizona) Meeting of the Society for Research on Meteorites, on 1941 June 28. Interesting data were recorded by these observers, who were more than 200 miles from the vanishing point of the meteor, and these observations of its appearance are compared with those of individuals who observed the same phenomenon from near‐by points.
