That Strange Light
Was Only Mars
WASHINGTON, UP — Don’t
get excited folks, that strange
light seen near the moon Wednes
day night and early Thursday
was merely the planet Mars.
That’s the official word from
the U.S. Naval Observatory here.
Observatory scientists made a
quick check after newspaper
switchboards across the country
became swamped with calls in
quiring about “the strange light
near the moon.”
In California, a spokesman for
the Lick Observatory near San
Francisco said Mars often comes
in near alignment with the moon,
causing unusual light effects.

depth of 14,221 feet before it
was abandoned.
Stretton said information gained
from drilling the well, which he
described as the deepest ever
drilled in Alaska, “will be used
as a guide for further exploratory
activities” by Standard on the
Kenai Peninsula.
