The airship was plainly seen by several reliable citizens of Benton Harbor and St. Joseph—so they allege — and declare that it is no fake. It was seen about 8:00 Tuesday night [April 13, 1897], with blue, red, and green lights, and was moving rapidly in a northwesterly direction. The outlines could not be discerned, owing to the lights it bore and its great altitude over Lake Michigan. |
