On 28 February 1904 at 6:10 am local time in the Northern part of the Pacific ocean, near San Francisco, three members of the crew of the USS Supply saw the formation of three "remarkable meteors," which appeared near the horizon below the clouds and flew right to the ship.

When they approached, the UFOs began to rise above the cloud layer and was observed while still in the group. The object was similar to metal (steel) egg-shaped and the size of six suns (about 3 degrees of arc). The other two were smaller and seemed perfectly round. They remained visible for over two minutes. Meteors do not behave.

Original news

One of the earliest formation cases was reported February 28, 1904, by a ship in the North Pacific off San Francisco. Three members of the crew of the USS Supply, at 6:10 a.m. local time, sighted an echelon formation of three “remarkable meteors” which appeared near the horizon below clouds, moving directly toward the ship. As they approached, the UFOs began soaring, rose above the cloud layer, and were observed climbing into space, still in echelon. The lead object was egg-shaped and about the size of six suns (about 3 degrees of arc). The other two were smaller and appeared to be perfectly round. They remained visible for over two minutes. (Meteors, of course, do not travel in echelon formation, change course and climb, nor remain visible for two minutes).

The shape of the airships are divided into:
