In 1896 at the now defunct Portsmouth, New Hampshire shipyard (home of the Thresher) 2 security guards were guarding the bridge from the mainland to the dock where a navy ship was tied to a floating dock. At about 9 PM an object appeared flying over the ship and over the bridge. Both men shot at it and heard the "ping" of the bullets hitting the craft. The object brightened up and took off faster then when it flew over. Remember 1896...man did not have working aircraft then. thanks to A. C. for digging this info out.
