SUBJECT: POSSIBLE INFORMATION REGARDING SATELLITE

On June 27, 1958, B. K. PHILLIPS, Central Motors, Pasco, Washington, advised that two Hanford engineers, ABE DUNNING and CARL WAIT had reportedly seen a brilliant light fall from the sky Thursday morning about 11:16 a.m., at which time they were within the barricade of the Hanford project at Richland, Washington, and that inasmuch as Explorer III was due to fall from its orbit today, they concluded that it possibly was a piece of the satellite.

Mr. PHILLIPS stated that two car salesmen at Central Motors Used Car lot in Pasco had told him that they had seen something similiar about the same time, while at the used car lot, and that the object appeared to fall in the Columbia River near Pasco. The used car salesmen are CLAUDE GREGORY and GEORGE HOWARD.

The above information was furnished to THOMAS E. BELL, CIC Office, Camp Hanford, Washington.
