Append-only living-dossier updates for “The Phoenix Fireball, October 1906”.https://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/en-ushttps://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/cases/phoenix-valley-fireball-1906/#update-1https://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/cases/phoenix-valley-fireball-1906/#update-1Two more Arizona Republican items added. On 17 Oct 1906 (p.10, “The Late Meteor”) the paper printed a letter from O. F. Thornton at Schell Station, dated 12 Oct: he saw a fireball “about the size of a large orange” burst before reaching Fish Creek hill, and a camper near Roosevelt and a teamster from Tortilla station each told him they had seen it explode. On 20 Oct (p.7, “Meteors to Burn”) the paper reported a second, smaller meteor seen on Thursday evening about 6 o'clock, plus a reader's “blood red star” that turned out to be the police signal light over city hall. Neither item changes the explanation: one bright fireball, widely seen. — Sources: Arizona Republican, 17 Oct 1906, p.10 (signer's name read on the page image): https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn84020558/1906-10-17/ed-1/?sp=10 · Arizona Republican, 20 Oct 1906, p.7: https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn84020558/1906-10-20/ed-1/?sp=7Sun, 04 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTUpdatehttps://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/cases/phoenix-valley-fireball-1906/https://anomaly-ledger.pages.dev/cases/phoenix-valley-fireball-1906/A golden-trailed fireball crossed the Salt River Valley at dinnertime on 6 October 1906 and broke up with a boom. Callers feared an explosion, the Weather Bureau observer timed it with his watch, and Tucson and Phoenix each said it passed right over them.Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTPublished
