Initial data
Huntington, West Virginia, HERALD-DISPATCH, October 12, 1931, page 1
The secrets of the deep sea are as old as navigation, and they have provided both history and fiction with some of the most mysterious stories. But until recently, the heavenly mysteries were for theologians and metaphysicians.
Now in the azure realms there are human stories about adventures, and sometimes about secrets. On Saturday afternoon, according to many, the airship, flying over the hills of West Virginia behind Point Pleasant, burned, bent and fell.
The reports were so definite that for 24 hours or more planes circled over them, and groups on foot searched the ground for the crash site. Nothing was found. There were no reports of the missing airship. The search was stopped, but puzzled men and women still testify that they saw the fire and the accident.
There is a secret for you: perhaps it was a ghostly airship?

MYSTERIES of the deep sea are as old as navigation and have furnished both history and fiction with some of their wierdest stories. But, until recent years, mysteries of the skies were for theologians and metaphysicians. Now the azure realms develop human stories of adventure and occasionally of mystery. Saturday afternoon, according to numerous persons, a dirigible airship floating over the West Virginia hills back of Point Pleasant burned, buckled and fell. So definite were the reports that for 24 hours or more airplanes circled above while groups on foot searched the land for the wreck. Nothing was found. No report of a missing blimp was received. The search was abandoned but puzzled men and women still testify they saw the fire and the crash. There's mystery for you; perhaps it was a phantom blimp?
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:
