Today we bring you a story of a strange craft reported in a 1914 Hansboro newspaper article titled, “AIRSHIP NEAR HANSBORO: Traveling East It Is Seen By Several Farmers and Threshing Crew North Of Town.”

The article went on to say, “Several farms and members of a threshing crew claim to have seen what appeared to be a flying machine in the sky a couple of miles north of town last Saturday afternoon. They claim the object was high in the air and came from the north and passed out of sight to the east. Eyewitnesses claim that what they saw resembled pictures they have seen of flying machines and when asked if the object they saw couldn't have been a ring of smoke from a nearby threshing engine, they answered emphatically that it could not.”

Happy Halloween, everybody.
