1966 Leonids: Susan Hensz
Susan Hensz was living with her family in Harlingen, Texas in 1966. She related the following account to me in October 1998--
I was awakened by my father at approximately 2:30am. He was frantic that I arise and "come watch. It's like the sky is falling!!" He was right! I had never seen so many trails. Seemed to me that every star in the heavens was headed "south". Also, it seemed that they were in every part of the sky, not confined to a single area, but in every direction we looked. Unhampered by bright city lights, it was breathtaking.
My present boss was in Pharr, Texas in 1966 and when I mentioned the 1966 event and the upcoming activity, he and I compared recollections - basically he says the same thing..."they were everywhere."
