  Interesting. Reminded me of the movie. Cow boys vs aliens. Apparently that movie was inspired by journals and newspaper articles from the cowboy era talking about these things on the sky and their bullets would bounce off.

    Wow, those would be cool to read. So many things seem to happen when there are few people or no people around, I’ve wondered what it was like when everything was rural. Did pesky poltergeists kick over campfires? Or did they float around in the dark making noises to mess with people?

      I was trying to find the site. There was a news site that pushed some new paper clippings of about 3 different stories from 1700-1800. Who knows that they really saw but it was interesting because I remember they called them air ships and they were shinny and their bullets would bounce off and it would go faster than their horses. I bet if we saw the same thing today we could explain it. But back then seeing anything you didn’t know about could be scary. Kinda like flying over the Amazon jungle and the tribes firing their bows at this random thing flying past.
