The glow

Shortly before two

minutes after the burst we began to see some auroral streamers start to grow,
This was about the tise expected for this phenucena after auch discussion of
Teak aurorae.

The streamers were very diffuse compared to those of Teak,

but there were about four streacers running toward the north an estimated distance of three to four fireball diameters--not nearly as Far as Teak nor as
intease nor 35 well defined.

By two minutes one could see through the clear

bole in the white doughoue and also see aurorae extending out to the south very
clearly.

It seeoed from the Boxer that the aurorze could not have extended

more than about to Boxer distance from the burst, or about 75 nautical miles.
At about three minutes after burst there was a large, clesr hole inside the
whitish doughnut froa Orange and a small, red cloud puff appeared, very small
and distinct; sbortly rhereafter, a very transient white cloud appeared.

Its

nature was somewhat similar to those which we had seen act 10 to 15 sinutes
after Teak burst.

It was very transient in nature and seemed to glow and

By five minutes the edge of the doughmuc appearcd to be about over the Soxer,
