That's really interesting...

I found a link on how time travel could be possible at the NOVA site online, here it is.

good read any other therys

I read your link- it was interesting. This was quite a while back though. The farmer said he found an aluminum wheel, was there such a thing way back then?
Odd, for sure.

Count Von Zeppelin flew his first airship just three years after this episode. And a man named T. S. Baldwin was flying successful dirigibles in the US as early as 1904. Here's a link to a picture and paragraph about an airship he developed that was accepted by the U.S. Military in 1908:

As far as aluminum goes, I asked my hubby, who is a chemist, and he said the current commercial process was patented in 1866. It would make sense to use aluminum in an airship, too.

As for the rest, well the internal combustion engine and electricity had been invented and were in use by then, so they wouldn't have been out of place, either.

They used hydrogen back then to float the things, and it was very explosive, so certainly could have caused an accident.

Seems to me it could easily have been an experimental airship. The technology was certainly all there.

before the recent "ufo" fad and before the invent of real airships and airplanes, people saw airships where we now see UFO's and alien spacecraft. what you are finding are the equivelent of modern day UFO reports
