Hays ' identification of the Norcatur object as a rocket has\nthe following support:\nOn the morning of February 19, I talked to the\nto,rer man and two assistants at the Air Base at McCook Field, Neb!'aska.\nAll three denied the Norcatur object was a fireball and described it as\na filack object with an extremely bright jet of flame pouring out of t he\nrear.
