Thanks for the replyAs far as I know, nobody knows ...
I don't recall anyone ever finding evidence of a viable heavier-than-air craft associated with a specific "airship" sighting.
Lighter-than-air craft were certainly available in the mystery airship heyday period (waning years of the 19th century). However, I don't recall any follow-up documentation demonstrating a given sighting had been determined to involve (e.g.) a known balloon or dirigible X.
It's worth noting that the same period was also the heyday of newspapers' taking liberties in printing homegrown fiction as entertainment or simple column-filler - especially during the annual "silly season" (mid to late summer).
With many of them I expect them to be Hoaxes however there were a few that seemed (from the reports) seem to exhibit classic Fairy behaviour, the most common was asking for water The Fey always seem to ask for it rather bizarrely
