The airship, balloon of whatever it is, was seen by two residents of Dayton, Tuscola County at 2 o'clock Thursday morning [April 29, 1897] as they were returning home from sitting up with a sick neighbor. They said the object looked like a big cigar with a basket hanging under it. There were lights around the basket, and the forms of three persons were distinctly seen. The airship was traveling at a rapid rate. |
