Dowsingformeteorites: Exploring the World of Technology

On July 8, 1947 Jim Ragsdale and his girlfriend were camped near Boy Scout Mountain in the Capitan Mountains west of Roswell, NM.  According to Mr. Ragsdale he and his girlfriend were drinking beer and making out in the bed of his pickup when an object passed over them that sounded like a jet airplane. I thought his description sounded much more like a meteorite than a jet engine even though I have never heard a meteorite. Adding to the credence of his story two nurses at St Mary's Hospital here in Roswell reported a bright flash of light at around the same time and in the same general area.
