Default The Great Airships of 1897!


In 1897 there were many sightings of great airships from California to
Texas. However the airplane would not be invented for another 6 years,
and neither had large dirigibles or blimps yet been flown. In Aurora,
Texas one such ship crashed into a windmill or tower and exploded. An
eyewitness said it was trailing smoke as it went down. It is reported
that local towns folk recovered a body from the wreckage which they
determined was not human, and suspected of being a Martian. They
buried the body in the town cemetery. They then disposed of the
wreckage down a well. Later the well was cleared a new owner of the
farm. He drank the water for twelve years, and his hands became
terribly deformed! Attempts have been made to exhume the body, and
examine the well, but necessary permissions have not been successfully
obtained. Bits of metal from an unusual aluminum-iron alloy have been
found at the reported crash site.

Does Darla know anything about this?

Does Darla know you're an idiot?



You can stop talking like a kOokologist jerk now, Bruce.

They kicked you out and cosmic killfiled you a long time ago.

You couldn't even meet their abismally low standards!

Very good, I see you are finally coming to grips with your true
saucerhead nature.

Why would a porpoise know anything about lighter-than-air flight?

Why isn't the EPA examining the well to find out why the owner who drank
from it became deformed? Isn't it the EPA's job to examine wells that
are connected to sicknesses?

This all happened years ago before the EPA existed. The well has now
been sealed under a concrete slab, and the present owner does not want
people excavating on his property.

I suggest that SF fans be asked to donate money which would be used to pay the
well owner to allow the well to be examined, and pay the cemetary owner to
allow the body to be exhumed.

Wells that are connected to water are more useful.

Epidemiology was invented by a Doctor Dr John Snow who by careful deduction,
realised that a well in Broadwick Street, London feeding a pump was polluted
by Cholera from sewage leaking into its supply. He chained the pump up and
the disease stopped.

It's still there as a memorial to him.

Confirms what I said in a previous thread where someone suggested that UFOs
always conformed to the style of the times when they were seen, when the
actual case is that flying objects have often appeared decades or centuries
before their style of construction has come around.
