Artist depiction published in the Dallas Morning News (April 1897) of an odd craft that purportedly crashed. This was one of a number reports of strange airship sightings at the time. (From: http://www.meanderandgander.com/2013/12/airship-crash-in-aurora-tx-april-17-1897.html)
Just a quick note of apology for the radio silence the past few months. Professional commitments and a computer crash kept me away for updating this blog. I will be returning soon, however, with new postings.
