Union Carbide has made a micrometeroid detector so delicate that it will record velocity and direction without changing either. Aluminum films on both sides of a plastic sheet produce signals that tell where and when a particle ruptured each of them… If you want to see a satellite better, illuminate it with a laser and make a hologram with the reflection. You should beat atmospheric distortion say Stanford engineers Joseph Goodman, Wright Huntley, David Jackson and Matt Lehmann… Mohave Desert dust devils, those frequent summer cyclonic systems, may be a clue to yellow clouds on Mars say Jack Ryan and Ferol Fish of Douglas Aircraft, who are watching them to find out whether Martian clouds might have 350‐mile/hr velocities and be dangerous to man.
