1 As early as 1923, researcher Charles Fort was speculating on humans being abducted by non-humans. "Extra-mundane" = UFOs. "Terrestrial astronauts" = humans.

"In October 1913, occurred something that may not be so very mysterious because of nearness to the sea. One supposes

2 "if extra-mundane vessels have sometimes come close to this earth, then sailing away, terrestrial aëronauts may have occasionally left this earth, or may have been seized and carried away from this earth. Upon the morning of Oct. 13, 1913, Albert Jewel started to fly his

3 "aëroplane from Hempstead Plains, Long Island, to Staten Island. The route that he expected to take was over Jamaica Bay, Brooklyn, Coney Island, and the Narrows. [231/232] New York Times, Oct. 14, 1913 - 'That was the last seen or heard of him...he

4 "'has been as completely lost as if he evaporated into air.'

"But as to the disappearance of Capt. James there are circumstances that do call for especial attention. New York Times, June 2, 1919 - that Capt. Mansell R. James was lost somewhere in the Berkshire Hills, upon his

5 "flight from Boston to Atlantic City, or, rather, upon the part of his route between Lee, Mass., and Mitchel Field, Long Island.(27) He had left Lee upon May 29th. Over the Berkshires; or in the Berkshires,

6 "he had disappeared. According to later dispatches, searching parties had 'scoured' the Berkshires, without finding a trace of him.'

The Berkshires? Very interesting if you've seen episode on "Unsolved Mysteries." Maybe he just crashed.
