Okay one is
really an amazing one. Then a break for a bit. I think it is the Kansas "Airship"
A lot of these aren't in collections of old sightings and haven't been seen for a long time.. I thought of every possible combination of search terms and combinations for several years searching these databases:
1897. Cigar-shaped UFO "Airship".
