A celestial phenomenon is reported over Nuremberg

Supposed celestial phenomenon in the Holy Roman Empire
🗓️ 14 April 1561

An April 1561 broadsheet by Hans Glaser described a mass sighting of celestial phenomena or unidentified flying objects (UFO) above Nuremberg. Ufologists have speculated that these phenomena may have been extraterrestrial spacecraft. Skeptics assert that the phenomenon was likely to have been another atmospheric phenomenon, such as a sun dog, although the print does not fit the usual classic description of the phenomena.
