History
In the early morning of April 4, 1561, the inhabitants of Nuremberg observed a phenomenon that they later described as an air battle. According to eyewitnesses, there were many balls and cylinders in the sky, as well as other strange-shaped objects that randomly moved around the sky around the sun:
“The first sun appeared, and was visible with two blood-red semicircular features similar to the waning moon, which passed right through the sun, and on the sun itself, above, below, and on either side of it stood blood-red and partially bluish or steel colors, as well as black round balls. "
“In the same way, round disks appeared on both sides around the sun - there were many of them - and balls, blood-red, and other shades, three in a row, sometimes quadrangles, both clusters and single. And between these balls there were a lot of blood-red crosses, and between those crosses and balls there were blood-red stripes, behind thick streyme hinden dick [5] , and in the front a little more scattered than ... hocken rho [6]
According to eyewitnesses, a “battle” took place between these objects, which was quite active and energetic:
“And they all began to fight, first the spheres by the sun moved towards those that were on the sides, simultaneously with the spheres of thin and thick pipes behind the sun. Also the pipes moved towards each other, like balls, and they all fought and fought each other for about an hour. After the battle, which sometimes took place from one side to the other from the sun and was very violent, she moved to the time and again the sun from one side to the other, gaining fury until the sides destroyed each other. ”
It all ended with the appearance of a mysterious object of a triangular shape that could supposedly fall somewhere outside the city:
“After that, it became visible something like a black spear of great thickness and length, facing the shaft to the sunrise and aimed in the direction from which you can watch the sunrise.”

This event was described in a single source - a woodcut article published on April 14, 1561. Sometimes they point to 1566, but the date made on the engraving in Roman numerals indicates precisely to 1561. The note was accompanied by a corresponding illustration.
Attempts to Explain
Nowadays, versions are being put forward about atmospheric phenomena , meteor shower , deliberate hoax. Ufology enthusiasts tend to think of this as a description of a UFO battle.
