Edwardian Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 The Truth is Up There ...! In 1909 and 1913 phantom airships - dark cigar-shaped flying objects carrying searchlights - were sighted at night moving over many British towns and cities. As tension grew in the build up to the First World War, newspapers and some politicians accused the Germans of sending Zeppelin airships to spy on dockyards and other strategic areas around the British coastline (Watson 2015). In October 1912 reports that an unidentified aircraft had overflown the naval torpedo school at Sheerness, Essex, led the Admiralty to order an investigation. In response to questions in the House of Commons, the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, said inquiries had failed to establish the identity of the 'unidentified aircraft'. The press concluded that a German Zeppelin had visited the British coastline on a secret reconnaissance mission but flight logs show the airship never left the Continent (Watson 2015). The relevant Admiralty papers are in AIR 1/2455 and AIR 1/2456. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/25206/3/Clarke_National_Archives_Research%28AM%29.pdf Mystery airships or phantom airships are a class of unidentified flying objects best known from a series of newspaper reports originating in the western United States and spreading east during late 1896 and early 1897.[1] According to researcher Jerome Clark, airship sightings were reported worldwide during the 1880s and 1890s.

webbcompound Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 And so another scenic strand is added to the Aching Arcanum. A mystery German airship scouting out the coast of Norfolk for possible landing sites. Carruthers and Davis will no doubt soon be in the case. Is that the Dulcibella moored in the river? 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In pregrouping days they masqueraded as airships, later they looked like flying lampshades... Nowadays they seem to be Imperial Star Destroyers! Whats more worrying is the modern tendancy for stars about to go supernova to only partially collapse and go flying around the galaxy like a demented billiard ball. Perhaps Silverfish of the Alchemists Guild had a hand in it.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-53415294 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKPR Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hmmm, so the possibility of German spies off the East Anglian coast in the early 1900s has attracted the attention of the Parish Council ?
