Sinister UFO Dirigibles

The new issue of Fate magazine includes a fascinating article titled “Sinister Dirigibles” from Paul Stonehill, that tells the intriguing story of weird aerial activity in Russian skies.

As Stonehill states:

“Strange, cigar-shaped objects have been seen in the sky over Russian cities, villages, testing grounds, battlefields, forests, and secret installations. Surely many observations have been lost in the whirlwind of history; however, the author has been able to collect some striking reports: 1915 - Unknown dirigibles were seen at the mouth of the Volga River, over villages and towns covering a distance of 150 kilometers. A huge, dirigible-like balloon with a roaring motor and spotlights shining down was observed in the sky over the Kazan Mil­itary District. A finned, cigar-shaped object hovered over a village. Six humanoid shapes were seen in a ‘boat’ under the ob­ject’s ‘belly.’”

The article reveals countless such cases that span the decades, and you can read more online, here.

This is a fascinating article that reveals some extraordinary - and hitherto unknown - cases.

    Sounds a lot like the “mystery airships”
    (dirigible-like) seen over the U.S. in the late 1890s and over the UK in the early years of the 20th century (the same ones that, with HMG believing them to be possible German “infernal machines”, in part led to the creation of MI6 and MI5 in response). This dirigible stuff seems very “throwback”, though, as we’ve seemingly moved on elsewhere to discs, triangles and such.
    Accounts from 1915 and such, though, do tend to square up with the kinds of things getting the Brits riled up in 1908/1909 and such. Interesting.

    Bill
    A friend of mine in the UK named Nigel Wright did a lot of research into the dirigible reports of early 20th Century England, and found some intriguing reports and official interest. Intriguing too that they gave way to the Foo Fighters, then the Ghost Rockets, then the Saucers, then the Triangles. Methinks another motif will be in place in a few more years…
