In this intriguing episode of the UFO Insight Podcast, Marcus Lowth delves into the bewildering events of the late-19th and early-20th centuries, where airship sightings captivated the United States, United Kingdom, and New Zealand. Drawing from a rich tapestry of historical records, Lowth analyzes these incidents which some claim could represent the inaugural UFO waves in recorded history. On the other hand, were they the nascent stages of aeronautical exploration? As the question hangs in the ether, we don’t advocate any definitive stance, but rather we empower our listeners to chart their own course of interpretation. In this narrative, Lowth begins by narrating the tale of the United States’ airship sightings of 1897. He paints a vivid picture of the era’s social and technological milieu, capturing the uncertainty and curiosity provoked by these enigmatic sightings. The meticulously documented accounts reflect a nationwide concern that compelled authorities to issue public statements—an unprecedented move given the era’s overall skepticism towards the unexplained. Then, the journey moves across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom in 1909. Once again, the skies bore witness to peculiar airship sightings, sending ripples of intrigue throughout society. Could these be the harbingers of new, groundbreaking technology, or were they something more enigmatic? The narrative continues onward to the Southern Hemisphere, to New Zealand in 1909. The same phenomenon reared its head again, causing a nationwide stir. The land of the long white cloud found itself in the grip of a wave of airship sightings, spurring debate and speculation that echoes even to the present day. As the discourse progresses, Lowth introduces an even more daring proposition: Could these sightings be manifestations of time travelers or inter-dimensional visitors? As we further explore these conjectures, we don’t purport any specific theory, instead, we lay out the multitude of possibilities on the table for our listeners. In all these historical accounts, despite the absence of a conclusive explanation, one thing remains certain: these occurrences continue to fascinate researchers, aficionados, and the simply curious.
