When we think of UFO sightings, most of us cast our minds back as far as the forties and fifties at the most. However, as we have discussed before, and as anyone who has spent any amount of time researching UFOs knows, such sightings not only go back decades before that golden age of flying saucers and “visitors from Mars”, they go back hundreds, if not thousands of years.

And what’s more, over a century later, the sightings remain a mystery.
Strange sightings of airships were everywhere in the early 1900s

It is possible that aliens wanted to advance our civilization by building these bogus airships and flying around our planet so that everybody could observe them. One must remember that just few years after these sightings ended, Count Zeppelin built his first functional airship.
There has been another, less known wave of giant ghost airplanes in the 30’s, especially in Norway, but also in Britain. They usually fly in total silence and in a way very slow or in dangerous altitudes.
Next wave was sightings of ghost rockets just after ww2. Jacques Vallée has described these incidents in great detain in his books.
