Narratives:

“... in the [New York] Times, of the 7th of July [1873] [1], I found something else noted. A similar object [than in Bonham Texas] had been reported from Fort Scott, Kansas. "About half way above the horizon, the form of a huge serpent, apparently perfect in form, was plainly seen.” [cft1]

Twenty-four hours after the Bonham incident, a device of the same description appeared at Fort Scott, Kansas. Panic-stricken soldiers fled the parade ground as the thing flashed overhead. In a few seconds it disappeared, circling toward the north. [dke1]

1873: “A similar one [similar to the disc that made three turns above the village of Bonham and went away] is observed the next day, above Fort Scott.“ [hdt1]

The next day after the case in Bonham, Texas, in summer 1873, according to Antonio Ribeira, "the same object" was seen in Fort Scott and caused a panic among the soldiers of the garrison. [ara1]

Michel Bougard indicates that at the beginning of July the day after the Bonham case in Texas, a phenomenon completely similar to that case caused disorder in the garrison of Fort Scott or Fort Riley in Kansas. [mbd1]

Loren Coleman indicates that a similar "sky serpent" was seen not long after the case in Bonham above Fort Scott in Kansas by the US Calvary that were stationed there, and by many civilians. [lcn1]

Lisa Hefner Heitz writes in her book on Kansas mysteries that in 1873, a "great flying snake" was reported seen over Fort Scott, Kansas. [lhz1]

“Twenty-four hours after the sighting [of Bonham], a device of the same description was sighted over Fort Scott, KS.&rduo; [dht1]
