Assuming that the reports weren't greatly exaggerated, which appears to be
the case in many incidents. Many of the early "airship" sightings were of
toy "fire-balloons". I guess I raised the question of witness reliability
again, but as a police officer once said, "I'd rather have a corpse than 20
eye witnesses because I'll get more accurate information from the corpse!"
