METEORS EXPLODES AND ROCKS EARTH
Reno Evening Gazette
Reno, NV
May 12, 1922
Richmond, Va., May 12 - With a detonation that was heard forty miles away, a meteor appeared to fall to earth some distance north of Lawrenceville at about 11:15 last (night), according to reports reaching here. The phenomenon was said to have rocked the earth not unlike an earthquake, shaking houses and awakening residents of Lawrenceville. The countryside for miles around, it was said, was lighted up as bright as midday, and the meteor emitted a swishing sound as it hurled through space.
  Reports reaching Norfolk said the meteor exploded with a force that shook houses and broke windows in and around that community. The flash of the meteor was plainly seen at Norfolk, 100 miles each of where it is estimated to have fallen.
