Scientific paper

The exceptionally short radiation age of the Farmington meteorite, which fell in the USA in 1890 makes probable the fact that it struck the earth while moving along the orbit still resembling that of its parent body. All variants of its orbit corresponding to possible positions of its radiant obtained from reports of eyewitnesses, belong to the same type as those of Apollo asteroids. From among 18 known Apollo asteroids, 5 with orbits especially similar to that of Farmington are studied.
