The Real Cowboys & Aliens: The Coming of the Airships (1896-1899): 3

For two years between 1896 and 1897 the skies of North America were invaded by a wave of airships. Some looked like UFOs as we know them today while many more resembled futuristic dirigibles. Most were piloted by normal human beings including a few Men in Black while others were inhabited by strange beings that could only be described as not of this earth. In addition to airships this book also covers otherworldly beings from gilled-spacemen and toga-clad aliens to what might be an early day Chupacabra. Though you have probably already heard of the alleged airship crash in Aurora Texas in 1897 did you know that there were many other alleged airship crashes in places like Kalamazoo Michigan and Iowa Falls Iowa? After reading this book youll ask yourself: Did a Martian crash-land in Lanark Illinois? Was the dream of a little girl taken aboard a space craft by little men just a dream or the repressed memory of an alien abduction? What was the airship that one witness described as Noahs Ark returned to Earth? Did an Illinois storekeeper really manage to photograph an airship and if so where is the photo today? And finally were the humanoid pilots of the airships inventors from the time period aliens in disguise or time travellers from the future just trying to blend in?
