Naval training base? (Posted without title)

Was Holbrook a naval training base during World War II? I would appreciate knowing some more about that time.Wordman456 (talk) 20:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Holbrook Air Force Station, which may or may not be the same as Holbrook Municipal Airport, was home to Det 2, 2nd Radar Bomb Scoring Squadron of the 1st Combat Evaluation Group.^[1]

The Holbrook Fall

Hello. The Holbrook meteorite event in 1912 is important in the sphere of meteorite studies. But is the strewn field where the fragments impacted really "a point of interest" in relation to the town of Holbrook? I didn't delete the meteorite info from the point of interest section because I don't know if the strewn field is important or not for Holbrook. I just doubt it. RhinoMind (talk) 02:02, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Back. There was no response to my comment about the Holbrook strewn field in the point of interest section, so I take the liberty to move the info here for now. Please discuss below if anyone is interested in this particular subject.

The following text and image was moved here from the article because the site is not particularly notable or interesting in itself. The 1912 Holbrook Fall is already presented and explained in the article in the History section.

In 1912, on July 19 at approximately 7:15 PM, a chondrite meteor exploded high in the atmosphere and an estimated 16,000 or more minor fragments rained down over Navajo County in an area about 6 miles east of Holbrook. One of the witnesses, then seventeen-year-old Pauline McCleve, described the event as the loudest sound she ever heard. The largest piece of the Holbrook Meteorite that has been recovered was found shortly after. It weighs 14.5 pounds and resides at Arizona State University in Tempe.^[1]
