UFO Battle Witnessed by Fishermen in 1665: A Historical Account
Written on
Chapter 1: The 1665 UFO Encounter
In April of 1665, fishermen near what was then Barhöfft in Sweden, now part of Germany, reported an astonishing event in the sky. They claimed to have witnessed a “UFO battle,” describing a spectacle that was both bewildering and terrifying.
Despite the absence of aviation terminology at the time, these fishermen referred to the unidentified flying objects as ships or boats.
Section 1.1: Eyewitness Accounts
One fisherman recounted seeing a round, flat object resembling a large plate or hat hovering above the Church of San Nicolai well into the night. The fishermen were deeply unsettled by the event, with many experiencing lingering physical symptoms such as headaches and tremors in their limbs.
An illustration by Erasmus Francisci from his 1689 book, “Der wunder-reiche Ueberzug unserer Nider-Welt/Oder Erd-umgebende,” captures the spectacle. Despite its strangeness, scholars at the time struggled to provide a reasonable explanation.
Section 1.2: Modern Analysis
Recently, Chris Aubeck and Martin Shough revisited this historic UFO sighting in an article for EdgeScience magazine. Aubeck, the founder of the Magonia Exchange research group, and Shough, a research associate at the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), ruled out typical natural explanations for the event.
They noted that the angle of the sun mentioned in reports precluded the possibility of a solar halo, while the altitude of the incident made it impossible for a Fata Morgana effect to be at play.
Chapter 2: Physical Symptoms and Speculation
The witnesses' physical symptoms—such as headaches and tremors—hint at the possibility of radiation emitted by the unidentified objects. Aubeck and Shough examined various theories, including the idea that a large flock of birds could have caused the phenomena; however, this did not account for the presence of the dark object or the smoke and fire reported after the so-called "battle."
The first video, "In 1665, Eyewitnesses Watched A UFO Battle!" explores the fascinating accounts of the fishermen during this unique event.
They pondered the likelihood of two separate anomalous occurrences happening simultaneously, although they deemed this scenario improbable. Aubeck and Shough emphasized the historical significance of this case, which could be one of the earliest recorded instances of a flying saucer sighting.
The term "flying saucer" is often linked to modern UFO reports, but there are historical precedents, including accounts of similar objects throughout the ages. They also referenced ancient narratives of celestial battles, challenging skeptics to provide a conventional explanation.
The second video, "Mass Sighting of UFO Battle in Medieval Skies," delves into the broader implications of such sightings in historical contexts.
