Show Notes
From late 1896 to mid-1897, thousands across the US reported cigar-shaped "mystery airships" with bright spotlights, impossible speeds, and silent flight years before viable aircraft existed. Centered in the Midwest and California, these sightings—often featuring inventor stories or alien theories—remain largely unexplained, combining mass hysteria, hoaxes, and early UFO lore.
Listen in as the Syndicate discusses the mystery, the sightings and gives their opinions on what these mystery airships could possibly have been.
