An object moving faster than anything previously known? I'm sure the Unidentified Swimming Object enthusiasts at the time had a field day with that sighting.

  faster than anything previously known?

Turbina went at 40mph in 1897 - but in at that time there were already steam trains going twice as fast [1].

Trains don't really swim though, at least not very well.

Unidentified Floating Object!
