Approximate date. Robert Hibbard was caught by an anchor dropped from an unknown flying machine 22 kilometers north of the town. He was dragged over ten meters and fell as his clothes were torn. An unidentifiable object was observed at close range and caused physical effects. Reality check: 1900 census shows no Hibbard in Iowa. 22 km north of Sioux City would be in Plymouth County. There are Huberts, Hubbards, and non-Robert Hibbards in Iowa, including a Hibbard family in Sioux City, but not in Plymouth. There are several Robert Hibbards on the east coast and one in Kansas. Iowa 1885 census shows a Robert Hibbard born in 1870 in Lee County, the other side of the state. A Robert Whifield Hibbard registered for the draft in 1914 in Lee County. He was born on 23 December 1877. He had lost his right arm some how.
