(1) - strange (2) - roaring rumble (3) - airship explosion (4) - distant rumble [illegible] It was just like the U. S. Navy did on the 25th, except for the fact that it was not a real explosion. It was just an illusion created by some kind of device. The thing about this is that you can see the whole ship as if it were right there in front of you, but when you try to touch it, your hand goes through it. You can feel the heat coming off of it too. The only way to get rid of these things is to use a special device called a 'phase shifter'. It works by changing the phase of the light waves that make up the image. When the phase is changed, the image disappears.
