00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:07,590
[Music]

2
00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:08,950
we should start out with

3
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:11,920
is this so-called mystery airship wave

4
00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:13,920
of 1897.

5
00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:17,359
it actually started november 18 1896 a

6
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:19,199
little bit earlier but it's always been

7
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:21,119
known within ufology all over it's

8
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:22,320
always been known

9
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:26,000
as the the 1897 mystery airship wave

10
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:29,039
and basically over sacramento what

11
00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:29,439
people

12
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:32,399
reported seeing is kind of this long

13
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:34,160
cigar-shaped craft

14
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,480
there were reports of wings on either

15
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:38,399
side with a strange rudder

16
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:41,200
and then there was a gondola but what's

17
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,079
interesting in

18
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:44,719
like 95 of the percent of these reports

19
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:46,640
they're always at night

20
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:49,440
and uh they reported these beaming

21
00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,800
spotlights coming down

22
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,559
on the city below and so it was an

23
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:54,399
absolute chaos below

24
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:55,760
there were people running through the

25
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:58,160
streets uh covered wagons were being

26
00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:59,359
tipped over

27
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:01,760
horses were bolting from side to side it

28
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:03,600
was just absolute chaos because no one

29
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:05,600
had seen anything like this before

30
00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:07,840
and who has the technology to have these

31
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:09,119
beaming spotlights

32
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:12,080
coming down back in 1896 this is before

33
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:13,200
the wright brothers

34
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:16,960
yeah december 17th uh 1903 at kitty hawk

35
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:18,240
north carolina so

36
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:20,080
this was going on before the wright

37
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:21,600
brothers even flew now here's what's

38
00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:22,960
interesting if you

39
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:26,000
read the reference works and all the

40
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:27,600
newspaper clippings

41
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,119
going from the west coast to ohio

42
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:34,000
i mean there were literally hundreds of

43
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:35,920
newspaper reports of this mystery

44
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:38,159
airship wave different configurations as

45
00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:38,960
well

46
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:41,759
but they reported generally we talked

47
00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:43,600
about the light shining down

48
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:46,799
uh there were reports of anchors being

49
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:49,040
lowered from these craft there were

50
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,320
reports of big

51
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,040
black dogs on the top deck of these

52
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:55,680
ships there were reports of

53
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,799
well-dressed eccentric inventors

54
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,240
that were on the top deck of these

55
00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:02,159
crowds with monocles

56
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,799
yeah they were reports of laughter

57
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:06,399
coming from these craft and we have

58
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,280
reports

59
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:10,319
of these things landing and then the the

60
00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,520
people that came

61
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,599
out of these craft they were wearing

62
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:16,080
smoke colored glasses and they requested

63
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:19,120
water wow works

64
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:22,319
okay so we got to think you know

65
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:26,160
does this sound like a alien technology

66
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,160
or does this sound a whole lot

67
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:30,400
closer to home it definitely sounds

68
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:31,920
close to home that's for sure

69
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:34,400
it sounds close to home that's right uh

70
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:35,360
and then the thing is

71
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:38,720
um a lot of these craft it appears

72
00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:41,440
started with a group called the sonora

73
00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:43,599
arrow club that was financed by

74
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:46,879
a mysterious group known as nimza and i

75
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:47,760
