Peterborough, Ontario, November 1, 1969, p.
During the First World War, a large chemical plant operated in the tiny village of Donald in Haliburton County. It was in August 1915, when the residents were frightened by a mysterious plane flying over the village, apparently spying on a chemical plant.
The brigadier ordered all the lights to be extinguished and, armed with a rifle, fired at least 12 shots at the mysterious intruder.
The news report of the day says:
"It was already good in the evening when the residents first noticed a mysterious ship in the air, and their attention was attracted by a strong beam of light that seemed to come from a powerful headlight. the power of a strong car headlight and throws the beam everywhere.
After the car remained stationary for a short time, the car (for such it looked) floated a few feet away, and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, but their joy was interrupted, and their fears increased when the car returned and hovered. It was then that Brigadier Jones warned him, firing several shots at the mysterious stranger. For an hour or so, he watched the village, and then returned his flight under the stars to his hidden and unknown destination."
Was there a mysterious ship, a German airship, an airplane, an unidentified flying object or a figment of someone's imagination? More than 50 years later, it remains a part of local history in the tiny village of Donald, where the skeleton of a chemical plant still stands.

1915 Problem
During the First World War a large chemical plant was in operation in the tiny village of Donald in Haliburton county. It was in August 1915 when the residents were scared by a mysterious aeroplane flying over the village apparently spying on the chemical factory.
The foreman ordered all lights to be extinguished and, arming himself with a rifle, fired no less than 12 shots at the mysterious intruder.
A news report of the day records "It was well on in the evening when the residents first noticed the mysterious ship in the air, their attention being attracted by a strong ray of light, which seemed to come from a powerful headlight. The searchlight had the strength of a strong automobile headlight and cast a ray all around the vicinity."
"After remaining stationary for a short time, the machine (for such it appeared to be) sailed several feet away, and the villagers heaved a sigh of relief,but their joy was cut short and their fears increased when the machine returned and hovered around the chemical plant. It was then that foreman Jones proceeded to warn it off by firing several shots at the mysterious stranger. For an hour or so it shadowed the village and then retraced its flight beneath the stars to its hidden and unknown destination."
Was the ship of mystery, a German airship, an aeroplane, an unidentified flying object, or a figment of somebody's imagination? Over 50 years later it remains a piece of local history in the tiny village of Donald, where the skeleton of the chemical factory still stands to this day.
Hypotheses
The airship
The aircraft lighter than air, which is a combination of the balloon with the mover (usually a screw with an electric motor or internal combustion engine) and the system of the orientation control (steering control), through which the airship can move in any direction regardless of the direction of air flow.
The shape of the airships are divided into:
