Early UFO History

 



Throughout history, humans have observed the sky. They have sometimes seen unusual sightings: comets, bright meteors, one or more of the five planets easily visible to the naked eye, planetary conjunctions, and atmospheric optical phenomena such as parhelia and lenticulars. Clouds. A particularly famous example is Halley's Comet: it was first recorded by Chinese astronomers in 240 BC and possibly as early as 467 BC.

As it approaches the interior of the solar system every 76 years, it is often identified as a single event in the ancient historical records that its authors did not know was a repeat phenomenon. Again, Such stories have historically been considered supernatural omens, angels, or other religious omens. [1] While UFO enthusiasts have sometimes commented on the narrative similarities between certain religious symbols in medieval paintings and UFO reports, [2] the classic feature and the symbolism of these images is recorded by art historians, who place a more conventional religious interpretation of these images.



Some examples of premodern observations of unusual air phenomena: 

Julius Oglens is a Roman writer who lived in the middle of the fourth century. The only job regarding its name is  Liber of Prodigiis, wholly extracted from a chart or abbreviation, written by Livy; Prodigiis is built as a report on the miracles and the holders in Rome between 249 and 12 ECB. 



One aspect of OBOLEF's work to inspire excitement in some UFO enthusiasts is that it mentioned things moving in the sky. It may be a description of the meteorite, and because OBEZ writes about 400 years after the events it describes, the text is not the control of the witnesses. 

Wood carving from Hans Glaser appeared in a broadleaf in 1561 was presented in popular culture as a "celestial phenomenon" on Nicheberg "and connected with ancient astronauts. 

Following the house Van Jason Colavito, the image represents "a representative of a second-hand rescue gaudy," a known atmospheric optical phenomenon. 


A similar report comes from In 1566 on Basel and, actually, in the 15th and 16th centuries, many flyers wrote "Miracles" and "Display Sky." On January 25, 1878,  Denison Daily News printed an article in it John Martin, a local farmer, declared that he saw a large round object like a balloon "with great speeds." Martin, according to the newspaper's account, said it was in his opinion the size of a saucer, one of the earliest uses of the word "disc" concerning UFOs. 

 In April of that year, reports of such "mysterious airships" in various parts of the United States were reminiscent of modern UFO waves. Many signed affidavits. Dozens of people even spoke to the pilots. Reports of strange ships and artificial lights in the sky appeared in local newspapers over the next two decades, culminating in a mass panic in 1897. Several people feared that Thomas Edison had created an artificial star capable of flying across the country. Edison said, "You can believe me that it's a complete sham."
