Mystery Airships

From the late 19th to the early 20th century, the United States and Europe experienced a series of strange sightings. Reminiscent of the UFO crazes of the later 20th century and 21st, people were reporting strange airships with advanced electrical systems (by period standards) and strange men from foreign lands (or even aliens!). 
These were strange blimps with rotating wings and various lights. Some of them were manned by men claiming to be from the 12 Lost Tribes of Israel, or Martians, or Europeans/Americans/Russians, etc. These ships were often sighted over major urban areas or they were encountered out in the wilderness, sometimes with their crew making repairs or simply lounging about! 
You don't hear anymore about them, and no one has for nearly a century now. But if you're setting up a story in that time period, you should consider including some Mystery Airships.
