July 12, 1891, residents of Ottawa, Ontario, observed something they had never seen before.
According to a press account: Some of the residents of Theodore street were considerably
startled last Sunday evening about 7 o'clock by seeing a dark object apparently suspended
in the air over the Rifle range. From one of the houses on the street a pair of binocular
glasses was borrowed, and the object appeared somewhat in the shape of a huge cigar,
at one end of which there appeared to be a revolving fan, while the other end was enlarged,
trom which a bright light was plainly visible. Lesser lights were visible at intervals in
the tenter. On being asked whether it might not have been an air balloon, those who
saw it said the structure was far too large and of a peculiar shape. It was travelling
from south to north, and soon passed out of sight. [1]
