List of UFO-related hoaxes
Many hoaxes related to the study of unidentified flying objects have been perpetrated.
==Airship hoaxes==
* For April Fool's Day 1897, two practical jokers in Omaha, Nebraska set aloft a helium balloon with a burning wicker basket suspended beneath it.〔Denzler (2001), pages 5-6.〕
*On April 17, 1897, ''The Dallas Morning News'' reported that the previous evening three boys hoaxed a mystery airship sighting by soaking a cotton ball in kerosene and tying it to the leg of a turkey vulture. When the bird was released, witnesses to its light shouted "Look, it's the airship!" The hoax was discovered when the bird landed on the roof of the local high school and the burning cotton ball set fire to the school.
* An account by Alexander Hamilton of Leroy, Kansas supposedly occurred about April 19, 1897, and was published in the ''Yates Center Farmer’s Advocate'' of April 23. Hamilton, his son, and a tenant witnessed an airship hovering over his cattle pen. Upon closer examination, the witnesses realized that a red “cable” from the airship had lassoed a heifer, but had also become entangled in the pen’s fence. After trying unsuccessfully to free the heifer, Hamilton cut loose a portion of the fence, then "stood in amazement to see the ship, cow and all rise slowly and sail off." 〔Jacobs, David Michael; ''The UFO Controversy In America''; Indiana University Press, 1975, p. 15〕
