	UFO Area The Mystery Airship of 1896 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Other papers were more reserved and reported a "mysterious light" or "wandering apparition." A few ridiculed the stories suggesting that the whole thing had been a hoax or the result of a natural effect like glowing swamp gas.
		Stories began to suggest that the airship was the work of a mysterious inventor who was testing his device at night lest his ideas be stolen.
		One San Francisco attorney, nicknamed "Airship" Collins, claimed that he was representing the eccentric and wealthy inventor who had constructed the thing at a secret location in Oroville, just sixty miles north of Sacramento.

		The airship was first spotted in Kansas on March 26, and reports came in through April and early May. The most amazing account out of Kansas came from a farmer named Alexander Hamilton, in the little town of Le Roy.
		The slow progression of airship sightings across the continent may not be the movement of any vehicle, but the propagation wave of newspaper stories inspired by similar accounts in nearby towns.
		Since the airship was seen in a score of states over a period of six months, whatever it was had to be long-lasting and widely visible.

		In a nonrigid airship, also known as a blimp, the shape of the gas bag is maintained by the internal pressure of the enclosed gas.
		In a rigid airship, the form of the gas bag is determined by a rigid framework, usually made of aluminum or a special aluminum alloy called Duraluminium; the framework is formed of longitudinal girders and cross-rings, also made of girders.
		Airships did excel as defensive weapons, and the British used nonrigid airships to patrol their coasts and rigid airships for convoy protection.

		Mystery aircraft invaded the skies and capital of this nation.
		Also observed were double supersonic detonations, light protuberances, electro-static charges, and moving "stars," mysterious white flowers or snow that dropped down from the "aircraft of light," but disappeared when it made contact with the ground.
		These descriptions of "snow" or mysterious white "flowers" are quite similar to the descriptions of "angel hair" that are well known from some famous UFO cases.

	Mystery airship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first wave of airship tales were largely confined to North America, but later "flaps" included similar reports from around the world, as late as the eve of World War I.
		Some speculated that the airships had extraterrestrial origins, an early example of the extraterrestrial hypothesis; most airships, however, were attributed to (or suspected to be made by) earthly inventors.
		Steerable airships had been publically flown in the US since the Aereon in 1863, and numerous inventors were working on airship and aircraft designs (the idea that a secretive inventor might have developed a viable craft with advanced capabilities was the focus of Jules Verne's 1886 novel Robur the Conqueror).

		In the evening a mysterious gentleman identified only as a "collector of curiosities" appeared in town, examined the finds, suggested they were Asiatic in origin and offered such a large sum of money for them that the agent had no choice but to accept.
		Nevertheless, mysterious "airships" were seen in many parts of the world in the last half of the 19th Century and the early years of the 20th.
		While airships were seen over America from time to time in the years before 1896, widespread sustained flights seem to have become necessary in that year, for whatever reason.

		The "airship rustler" story at one time was widely repeated and hailed in UFO circles as being true.
		It wasn't the airship that went from place to place, or rather, crash to crash, as it was the germ of the idea.
		The mysterious airship reports of 1896 and 1897 must all be viewed as suspect.

	The Airship Wave of 1909
		The Dispatch maintained that "time and calm observation" were dealing ruthlessly with the airship mystery, and declared that the idea that a foreign airship was spying upon the country as a prelude to invasion was shattered by a few cold facts.
		The airship took a wide curve from the direction of Newport, and though high up could be clearly seen against the clear sky even if it had not been lit up by the two lights which it carried, and we all heard distinctly the whirr of its driving gear.
		Airship sightings fizzled out by the first week of June, but this loss of interest on the part of the Press was followed by further revelations on 6 July 1909.

	SIGHTINGS
		According to Daniel Cohens excellent study The Great Airship Mystery, A UFO of the 1890s (Dodd, Mead Co., 1981), people first reported seeing odd lights strung together and apparently suspended from what appeared to be a large cigar-shaped, or egg-shaped envelope.
		Cohen pauses in his investigation to wonder why the term "airship" was used in the early newspaper accounts, when in fact, many of the reports involved merely seeing bright lights and a dark structure behind them.
		Certainly the word "airship" was one that everyone who attended San Franciscos grand exhibit knew and used to describe the machine that appeared floating in the air before their eyes.

		Someone else writes that not possibly could the thing be Venus: he had seen it as "a bright red light, going very fast." Still someone else says that he had seen the seeming vessel upon the 5th of February, and that it had suddenly disappeared.
		If German airships were manoeuvring over England, without being seen either approaching or departing, appearing sometimes far inland in England without being seen to cross the well-guarded coasts, it was secret manoeuvring, inasmuch as the accusation was denied in Germany (Times, Feb. 26 and 27).
		Possibly an airship from Germany could appear over such a city as Hull, upon the east coast of England, without being seen to arrive or to depart, but so far from Germany is Portsmouth, for instance, that one does feel that something else will have to be thought of.

		The first highly publicized wave of mysterious things seen in the sky during the modern era was not in 1947, as many people think, but actually in 1896.
		From November of that year through April of 1897, people were seeing "Phantom Airships", similar to dirigibles (which were, according to many sources, still in the experimental stages); some accounts reported flapping wings, like a giant bird.
		These craft were widely reported and the press gave it plenty of coverage (though many of these were deliberate hoaxes by newspapers to increase sales).

		And the mystery airships were almost universally seen to be carrying searchlights, which they played on the landscape below — a common enough device in drawings of airships at this time (see image above), but not at all common in practice, and not conducive to secrecy, either.
		And this was followed by dozens of sightings of mystery airships in February 1913, exceeding the 1909 visitations in number and geographic spread, and at times witnessed by crowds of thousands of people.
		In seeing airships that weren’t actually there, they were affirming their faith in the beneficial nature of aviation, and in their nation’s ability to master it.
