Contra landowners claiming the right to all air above them, Sirch notes that even if their rights be granted, the columns of air extending directly upward from parcels of land tend to diverge as they radiate outward from earth. Sirch then writes:
Having duly explored sufficient of this newly discovered air space to calculate its extent I now take pleasure in repeating the Peary business with the Stars and Stripes and present this vast region to all aeronautic pilots, pirates, and quasi-trespasses present and to come to be used as an aeronautic highway in perpetuity, world without end. Amen.
