Odds and Ends
Date: July 1913
Time: unknown
J. L. Buick & another prospector were startled by a small brown man saying "Peace be with you, my friends." Sitting on a patch of sand was a silvery round object nearly 100 ft in diameter, with central dome no wheels underneath. Around it was other small men in brown picking flowers, pebbles, etc, they had learned English via spies working in a US circus. The craft rose silently & then took off. Next day it came back, 5 concentric saucers with diminishing air pressures, the outermost being evacuated. As to lift, "gravity is only a different type of magnetism," so it can be controlled by an electromagnetic drive; they can do 9000 mph, and have artificial gravity inside the saucer. Rockets, they were told, had failed for space travel.

There are lots of old stories you can find in local newspapers in the past...the problem is, you never know if it was just a slow news day and the editor/writer is just having a little fun!
