UFOs in the daily Press:

The airship stories in the 1897 US Press:

This article was published in the daily newspaper The News, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, Saturday, April 24, 1897.

Warning: the airship stories must not be taken at face value as "UFO sightings." Evaluation of such stories is under way here.

A number of Manistique citizens upon their oath say that they saw the much talked of airship on its westward trip, Monday night [April 19, 1897]. C. R. Orr states that the ship seemed to be making 1,000 miles an hour, and Billie DeDue avers that he discerned the outline of the wonder and that it looked like a Washington cigar with a bright light in the center of it.
