Noting 'the way in which the "beings" associated with the 1897 "airship" sightings
seemed ~nteres.tcd in reinforcing the belief that the craft was of mundane origin,
the author concludes that the extraterrestrials either were engaged in some un-
known activity in which they did not want their real iden•ity made known, or that
they chose to hide their existence realizing that the comparative unsophistica-
tion of nineteenth century Americans would not permit them to accept the inter -
planetary answer.
