An intriguing phenomenon 460+ years ago has been attributed to UFOs. The UFO explanation has been discounted as being an atmospheric optical refraction of light by ice crystals. These "Sundog" halos are located approximately 22 degrees left and/or right of the sun. The refraction of light explains a part of the 1561 & 1566 phenomena however it does not explain the following;
*black, red globes and rods
*a long, thick, black spear
*globes moving back and forth at speed
*globes falling from the sky and burned with a large amount of smoke/steam
*spectators described the objects in the sky as "fought vehemently with each other" & "chattered as if they led a fight".
The 1561 Nuremberg apparition (Wikipedia extract)
-there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color.
-likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number
-visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips…among them two big rods…and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.
-these all started to fight among themselves
-the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour.
-they became fatigued…fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke.
The 1566 Basel "Large Black Globes" (Wikipedia extract)
It happened in 1566 three times, on 27 and 28 of July, and on August 7, against the sunrise and sunset; we saw strange shapes in the sky above Basel.
27th July- the sun lost all its radiance and luster, and it was no bigger than the full moon, and finally it seemed to weep tears of blood and the air behind him went dark
-the moon…assuming an almost blood-red color
28th July- sun rose at about six o'clock and slept with the same appearance it had when it was lying before. He lit the houses, streets and around as if everything was blood-red and fiery
7thAugust- we saw large black spheres coming and going with great speed and precipitation before the sun and chattered as if they led a fight. Many of them were fiery red and, soon crumbled and then extinguished.
