Hey there friends and weirdos! This week, Nile begins part one of an investigation of  a slew of mystery airship sightings between 1896 and 1897 across the United States. Were eccentric wannabe aviators causing a ruckus, or was it all a big, elaborate prank performed by a prankster society? Or was it, like many UFO enthusiasts such as Jacques Vallée claim, some of the earliest recorded sightings of extraterrestrial spaceships? All this and more!
