Wow what a photo! and think about when it was taken...The mystery airships of 1896 and 1897 in North America that i chose as my favorite ufo "event" is definitely a landmark case for a number of reasons...
It was a "wave" of sightings across a very large part of north america for an extended period of time with thousands of witnesses, strange "occupants" were seen and spoken to many times,there was a "crash" of one of these weird flying vehicles,there were "dead aliens" and remember the first dirigible airship in the USA was made almost 10 years later and had nowhere near the capabilities described during the at least hundreds of sightings of these bizzare flying ships...
I'm fairly certain that during one encounter,one of these ships landed in someones backyard and an occupant got out and asked one of the people living there for water and then said "come with us to a place where it never rains"...
And during another one of these weird flying vehicles had an anchor hanging below it suspended by a rope or cable and the anchor got caught in a church steeple and one of the occupants climbed down and cut it loose...
Heres a link about dozens of sightings of the mystery airships from just michigan alone during april and early may 1897 > www.angelfire.com...edit on 5-1-2012 by blocula because: (no reason given)
People burned all manner of incense: juniper, laurel, pine, beech, lemon leaves, rosemary, camphor, sulpher and others Handkerchiefs were dipped in aromatic oils, to cover the face when going out.
The cure of sound was another remedy. Towns rang church bells to drive the plague away, for the ringing of town bells was done in crises of all kinds. Other towns fired cannons, which were new and which made comfortingly loud din.

I've been fascinated by and have read-up on UFOs for over 40 years, and I've witnessed the evolution of UFO lore during that time. When I review everything that I've read on the nebulous subject of UFOs, there's a case that stands out strong in my mind... The Great UFO Battle of 1561 in Nuremberg, Germany.
On the morning of April 14, 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg beheld "A very frightful spectacle." The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged. Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly "began to fight one another." This event is depicted in a famous 16th century woodcut by Hans Glaser.
Most interesting to me are the disks that crashed and burned, as depicted in the lower right of the image.
Five years later, the same thing apparently happened over Basel, Switzerland...
On August 7, 1566, at dawn, many citizens of Basel (Switzerland), frightened, saw during several hours the black spheres involved in a formidable aerial battle, invading the sky of their city: "at the time when the sun rose, one saw many large black balls which moved at high speed in the air towards the sun, then made half-turns, banging one against the others as if they were fighting a battle out a combat, a great number of them became red and igneous, thereafter they were consumed and died out," wrote Samuel Coccius.
Without fail, skeptics jump on these woodcuts as "religious symbolism" and try to write-off the incidents as religious allegory. Heh heh heh... As if skeptics are authorities on matters religious and miraculous.
I think these two sightings are the greatest in human history.

Before it flys away,has anyone noticed the dust clouds being stirred up and swirled around directly beneath the flying saucer in the photo from the link above? Its compelling evidence thats hardly ever mentioned and to me that overlooked fact is undeniable proof that more or less eliminates and trashes the "suspended model" theory...imo

Something vital,Very Vital about this particular photo that i never hear mentiond at all,not once during the numerous documentaries ive seen that included this case and photo and i have also never read about it being mentioned in the many books i have read about ufos...In the photo in the above link...Look Under The Flying Saucer,There Are Swirls Of Dust Being Stirred Up Directly Under The Craft!...Thats Fairly Solid Proof...IMO...Wow!...Thats No Model...No Way...

I don't know, if it quacks like a duck, it might be a duck. If it flies like a straw hat well.

How big do you figure that UFO was?
DOes it not look like it is right in front of the car just over the road, the size of a straw hat?

Uhm, that shape has been reported elsewhere...
UFO Shapes thread by Karl 12
Also, look at all of the Heflin photos, including the "smoke ring" left in the air after the UFO split...Theses photos have passed all authenticity testing and have been investigated many, many times. Side note: I live only a couple of miles from where these were taken....edit on 5-1-2012 by Toxicsurf because: (no reason given)

It doesnt matter whats on the other side of the road in the photo...
Whats important here is whats going on directly beneath the craft,there is obviously dust being kicked up and swirled around,theres no doubt about it and i dont mean a 12ft tall whirlwind,i mean theres clouds of dust a foot or two high being stirred up and blown around directly beneath the flying saucer,caused perhaps by some form of other dimensional magnetics? heat emanating from the craft? or is the craft spinning? Or all three? I dont know but there it is...
There are 4 photos from this particular event,all taken in sequence as the disc flew near in photo 1,over and then a little beyond the witness,photos 2 and 3 as it left a trail of a smoke like substance visible in the computer alalysis of photo 3 in the link below and then rapidly flew away leaving an odd shaped ring of vaporous material in its wake near or actually among the low cloud cover seen in photo 4 taken a minute or two after the first three pictures,the first three were all taken from inside his truck...
On August 3, 1965,at about 12:30 p.m,the flying object crossed Myford Road,it seemed to hover and Heflin photographed it through his windshield as it crossed his line of vision,the first photograph.then as the craft moved toward the east,it tipped and revealed a dark underside."This is when I saw a rotating beam of light emitting from the center of the UFO on the bottom side" Heflin stated in September 18, 1965...
There are no strings,wires or lines attached to this daylight disc,as the computer analysis in the link below proves,which means it is not a suspended model and its not a toy model thrown into the air either because the object is too large to have been thrown...
L&G...This is the real deal...What is it? Where did it come from? Where is it going? Is it Piloted? Is it a remote controlled or auto-pilot Drone? Or something else?...

And some of those alien entities have designed and launched robotic probes and remote controlled drones into deep space and some of them have discovered earth,they have found us and we call them flying saucers...

With their energy output comparable to that of a small star, they should be visible from space. Dyson has proposed that a Type II civilization may even build a gigantic sphere around their star to more efficiently utilize its total energy output. Even if they try to conceal their existence, they must, by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, emit waste heat. From outer space, their planet may glow like a Christmas tree ornament. Dyson has even proposed looking specifically for infrared emissions (rather than radio and TV) to identify these Type II civilizations.
