For several weeks in April and May of 1897, something very mysterious was going on in Texas. Even though it was six years before the Wright brother's famous flight, a strnge, cigar-shaped flying object was seen from the Red River, south to the Gulf of Mexico, and west to the Rio Grande. Witnesses speculated the object may have been a meteor or a star, perhaps a sigh from God, or even a visitor from Mars or the moon. Some people thought an unknown inventor had solved the problem of "overhead transportation". but many more thought the excitement was nothing but a hoax. After a month-long cruise, the sirship sailed off into history leaving behind a "what was it?" mystery that has never been solved.
