It is still a myth for many people that a human has stepped foot on the lunar
surface. Since the 1960s, the world has been influenced by a lot of conspiracies
moving around the Space Race (https://www.howandwhys.com/17th-century-moon-
mission/), but it has provided the potential to create a sci-fiction that helps broaden
humans’ thoughts. Probably, cinema has influenced people to believe in
otherworldly life.

Are aliens behind UFOs? It is still a quiz for researchers but back in the sixteenth
century, something happened in the sky of the German city of Nuremberg that
stunned the people as they witnessed a sort of aerial battle like multiple UFO
sightings.

On April 14, 1561, a horrific incident occurred in Nuremberg that became one of the
unexplained sightings in history. Several residents saw numbers of objects in
various shapes (cylindrical, spherical, triangular) in the sky during the sunrise
between 4 and 5 a.m. They described the scene as a dogfight. The objects flew
across the sky and some eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a black triangular
object before hearing a distinctive crash coming from the outer regions of the city.

The outlandish account was recorded by a German publisher and printer Hans Wolff
Glaser who had been publishing prints from 1540 until his death in 1573. His
description of the incident is as follows:

“Beyond balls of red color, bluish or black, and circular disks, two large pipes were
seen… within which small and big pipes were found three balls, also four and more.
All these elements started fighting against one another. The fight seems to have
lasted about an hour, then… from the Sun and the sky, it fell onto the earth as if
everything was burning, and with great smoke, everything got consumed.”

“Whatever such signs mean, God al one knows. Although we have seen, shortly one
after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the
almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful
that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with
ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening
punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the God-fearing will by no
means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful
Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His
wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily
here and perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his help,
Amen.”
