Extract

Conner et al. have reported the sudden emergence of a strong X-ray source at 3-12 keV in a position well removed from any previously known X-ray source. This source has been confirmed by Kitamura et al. We wish to report the results of an attempt to detect the source during a balloon flight made from Mildura, Australia, on 1969 August 25.
