In the late 1890’s Across the United States, massive mystery airships began emerging from the clouds at great speeds and projecting powerful beams of light…  

Witnesses of these strange happenings experienced bewilderment, excitement and ever fear over who or possibly what was piloting ships in the sky which would appear and disappear like phantoms into the clouds. As stories continued to break from state to state, speculations ran amuck. With every report, subtle variations in experience and description would emerge, from large wings and propellers to enormous flight decks projecting the sounds of singing crewmen in the clouds… and even a letter, dropped from of supposed crew above describing harrowing accounts of a ship trapped in the skies, unable to land as if stuck between some kind of sky realm above and the earth below. With so many different individuals across vast distances describing these happenings, it leaves us to wonder, could accounts of these mysterious Ariel nighthawks be linked to a single inventor? Foreign espionage? Or perhaps, in part, something paranormal?
