Especially, since, for whatever reasons, my intuition is that there were
relatively few "high-performance" UFO sightings during that period. Does
anyone have more complete information on the airship period? It would be
interesting to know how many airships showed unusual performance
characteristics which match modern reports. Could that assist in weeding
out the press hoaxes?

I know FUFOR has a couple of comprehensive catalogs and analyses.

I recall one, from Flammonde, I think, about a man who sees a meter-high, ten
meter (?) long spindle shaped object in his driveway, which takes off rapidly
shortly afterward. Reminded me of the Gaichinard sighting, but it was an 1800
vintage sighting.
