They don't want us to know, but back in 1896-97, people across the USA were reporting these mysterious airship sightings, years before the Wright brothers took flight! So who built these 'airships'? Some say it was secret inventors, others believe it was visitors (yeah, those kind). Some of these wild stories told of abductions and high-speed travels. We gotta dig deeper. The truth is out there, and it ain't just hot air!

Okay but consider this. Maybe these sightings were early drones! You know, like da Vinci's helicopter sketches but someone actually tried to build one. Doesn't have to be 'visitors' or secret govt stuff. Could be some unknown genius tinkerer working in a barn somewhere, ahead of their time. Would explain why there was no big reveal - they never perfected it before the big dogs like the Wrights showed up. Tech lost to time...

Feels like sth straight outta Jules Verne novel! Is it possible some lit fan created their own 'Nautilus' but for the sky? Could just be mass hysteria - Verne was popular, after all. Or a good ol' case of public panic meets vivid imaginations and ppl thinking the future's now. 🚀💫

Let me spin you a yarn from the annals of my great-grandpappy's diaries. Good ol' gramps was a farmhand in California, wrote about the bizarre things he saw in the skies. Described them like 'fiery cigars' that could hover and shoot off at incredible speeds. He was convinced that these were the work of some secret society of inventors. Decades before Area 51 was even a thing! Gramps wasn't no liar, so something strange was definitely afoot...

Kinda cool to think there were secret inventions flying around back then. Majority of these stories are probably BS but imagine if some genius did invent a flying machine and just never got the credit. The possibilities in history, man... History's full of lost tech and forgotten geniuses.

Not saying it was aliens... but it was ALIENS. C'mon, the descriptions of the crafts were way too advanced for late 19-century tech. Plus, there were stories of bright lights and strange materials. Even Tesla was experimenting with wireless power transmission back then, maybe he was onto something otherworldly??

People often forget how sensationalist newspapers were back then. Seriously, every little thing turned into a huge story for sales. Most of these 'mystical airships' were probably just misidentified natural phenomena or exaggerations. The Wright brothers were publicly recognized because they had verifiable proof of controlled flight.

Oh, the airship craze! Totally wild times. Wasn't just the US but other places reported them too! Some folks said it was the work of an eccentric inventor named Charles Dellschau. Dude claimed he was part of a secret group called 'Sonora Aero Club'. Crazy drawings and all that. Could've been early balloons or zeppelins being tested in secret, but ya know, the alien theory is more fun ;)
