A Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship pioneered by the German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the early 20th century. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was based on designs he had outlined in 1874[1] and detailed in 1893.[2] His plans were reviewed by committee in 1894[2] and patented in the United States on 14 March 1899.[3] November 17, 1896 sighting- FOUR YEARS AFTER Zepplin plans were reviewed "Airships were not uncommon during the 1896-7 flap but this one would have been ahead of any known technology of that day." Nope, it would not have been.
