Strange But True

By F. H. MacArthur

Blue-green snow fell many years ago in New Brunswick, Prince Ed- ward Island, Siberia, and at Shasta County, California, The ylue-green snow was not general, jut appeared in patches approxi- rately ten feet in diameter. Like ilmost everything else that's strange, the weird coloring was jlamed on volcanic blasts.

Strange things have always been ippearing in the skies or falling sarthward. History is full of such neidents. The day after the odd- olored snow was reported in Cali- ornia, an ice bomb broke through ‘he roof of the Lewis home, 1130 W, 99th Street, Los Angeles. The Lewis’ were on vacation at the me and had to have a neighbor epair the roof before they arrived yome,

In pioneer days on this island a small meteor burned a sizable role in the earth near the present home of Earl Carrier, North River. It was sighted at about eleven pm, by Mrs. Sandy Spencer, who vas crossing the fields to the Wil- son farm.

Next morning the hole was in- vestigated by Mrs, Spencer and two members of the Wilson family, all f whom testified to having seen sarticles of a burned-out heavenly jody scattered about the place.

Going back to other days, there s a Latin document describing a strange aerial object that terrified he monks in 1290 A.D. It was sup- »osed to have winged its way over Byland Abbey in Yorkshire “‘excit- ing great terror among the orethren”. ;

This sort of thing has been tak- ng place since the world began, and all this present-day talk about earth being visited by un- ienti phenomena (flying saucers and space ships to you), is just a ot of bunk.

A lawnmower “shot” Robert inmbaugh, a resident of Ohio, »hen he pushed it over a bullet.

recently the cot in Nutly, N. J. sas in a dither when the traffic called out: “John Duncan.” Two John Duncans came to attention— both residents of Belleville and sot living on De Witt Avenuel

The entaglement was finally straightened out when the house number was given. Duncan No, 1 pleaded quilty to speeding and Duncan No, 2 pleaded guilty to 4yoving without a license, strange ut true!
