UFO Frightens Fisherman – 1899

The Thrilling Expertise of a Bean Creek Fisherman

A Giant
Funnel Formed Object

Seen By Burlington Individuals

Going By The Air with the Pace of an Categorical Practice and a Nice
Whirling Noise.

He was on John Wyse’s farm, again the place a small stream empties into Bean Creek
fishing. All was quiet and no sound broke the afternoon stillness, until he
heard a distant whirling sound that grew louder and louder. At first he
thought it was a sound of a flock of birds coming by the air. He appeared
round and guided by the sound lastly noticed an object coming by the air.

When he first noticed it he thought of a big hen hawk, however because it got here nearer
he considered a meteoric rock. A nearer view confirmed it to be a funnel-shaped
affair with the small finish ahead and at an angle of forty-five levels. Alongside
the highest was what seemed to be a big fan formed equipment.

The route taken by this queer craft was south with a slight variation to
the west.

It seemed to be about three of 4 occasions as excessive because the tree tops and from
eighty to at least one hundred rods away and whereas it stored the identical distance from te
floor moved with unbelievable velocity. When the closest to him it appeared to be
about 4 ft lengthy.

In describing his sensations he stated he was frightened and wished he was not
alone.

The identical object was seen by individuals close to Burlington and Mr. Altman is just not one
of the sort that carries “bait” that’s apt to make an individual “see issues”

What was the factor anyway? Such and apparition will need to have been seen elsewhere
as a result of the noise that it made would have attracted consideration. We might ask,
“Was it an Air ship?”
