Verifiable evidence would be enough for me.
Quote:I attached a link so you can fact mine if you wish. This book is basically a listing of events that were documented in the media of the day in the 1700's and 1800's and it covers a lot of unexplained happenings. As it written back in 1919 before the CIA was in existence along with Men In Black it can be construed as original as not corrupted. The author throws much shade on those experts and their explanations and that’s back in 1919. Say what?
I read "The Book of the Damned" some years ago, along with "New Lands", "Lo!" and "Wild Talents". Interesting books, although a little "all over the place".
As you mention "1800's Black Triangle Sightings" I was expecting some quotes from the book, not you own sighting, so here is one:
Quote:London Times, Sept. 29, 1885:
A clipping from the Royal Gazette, of Bermuda, of Sept. 8, 1885, sent to the Times by General Lefroy:
That, upon Aug. 27, 1885, at about 8:30 A.M., there was observed by Mrs. Adelina D. Bassett, "a strange object in the clouds, coming from the north." She called the attention of Mrs. L. Lowell to it, and they were both somewhat alarmed. However, they continued to watch the object steadily for some time. It drew nearer. It was of triangular shape, and seemed to be about the size of a pilot-boat mainsail, with chains attached to the bottom of it. While crossing the land it had appeared to descend, but, as it went out to sea, it ascended, and continued to ascend, until it was lost to sight high in the clouds.
Or with such power to ascend, I don't think much myself of the notion that it was an escaped balloon, partly deflated. Nevertheless, General Lefroy, correlating with Exclusionism, attempts to give a terrestrial interpretation to this occurrence. He argues that the thing may have been a balloon that had escaped from France or England—or the only aerial thing of terrestrial origin that, even to this date of about thirty-five years later, has been thought to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean. He accounts for the triangular form by deflation—"a shapeless bag, barely able to float." My own acceptance is that great deflation does not accord with observations upon its power to ascend.
