NARRATIVE

This is a news item dating from 1914 that I came across while doing some research: 
http://ca.geocities.com/scheffkg.rm/oddities.html
((TEXT OF 1914 NEWS ARTICLE))
"Reports have come in on several occasions lately of an aeroplane seen at night flying over the valley and southeast of here throwing search lights over the country.  At first it was feared that the enemy was near but it has now been decided that the Canadian's contest candidates are adopting the modern methods."
Source:  Camrose "Canadian; December 24, 1914, page 2

((ADDENDUM FROM READER))
Could you change the "Meeting Lake, AB" siting of 1914 to "Meeting Lake, SK".  The news item was in an Alberta newspaper, but the incident actually took place in Saskatchewan.

((ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS))
I initially submitted this several years ago, but unfortunately for some inexplicable reason gave the location as Meeting Lake, AB - then some time later requested it to be changed to Meeting Lake, SK.  The correct location is in fact Meeting Creek, AB.
The siting was initially mentioned in the Camrose Canadian for Dec. 24, 1914

It is further mentioned in the following edition of Dec. 31, 1914
http://www.ourfutureourpast.ca/newspapr/np_page2.asp?code=n68p1192.jpg  
"One of our prominent merchants claims he saw an airship in the early hours the other morning.  Some of the boys wonder what he had to drink."
((END ADDENDUM))
Time and date of event in 1914 are approximate.  PD
