“... 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] |
