Real aliens and UFOs sightings history - part 5
The Eurpoean recoed of possible real aliens and UFO sightings continued through the
14th and 15th centuries:
"[A.D. 1322] In the first hour of the night of Novr. 4... there was
seen in the sky over Uxbridge, Enfland, a pile (pillar) of fire the
size of a small boat, pallid and livid in colour. It rose from the
south, crossed the sky wirh a slow and grave motion and went north.
Out of the front of the pile, a fervent red flame burst forth with
great beams of light. Its speed increased, and it flew thro' the
air... [A.D. 1387] In Novr. and Decr. of this year, a fire in the
sky, like a burning and revolving wheel, or round barrel of flame,
emitting fire from above, and others in the shape of long fiery beam,
were seen through a great deal of the winter, in the county of
Leicester, Eng., and in Northhamptonshire. [A.D. 1461] On November
1, a fiery thing like an iron rod of good length and as large as one
half of the moon was seen in the sky, over... Arras, France for less
than a quarter of an hour. This object was also described as being
"shaped like a ship, from which fire was seen flowing." [Jacques
Vallee, "real aliens and UFO's in Space: Anatomy of a Phenomenon", p. 9; Harold T.
Wilkins, "Flying Saucers on the Attack", pp. 187, 188]
From 1773 another classic account of one of those gleaming, silvery
bodies today referred to as flying saucers:
"Something in the sky which appeared in the north, but vanished from
my sight, as it was intercepted by trees, from my vision. I was
standing in a valley. The weather was warm, the sun shone brightly.
On a sudden it re-appeared, darting in and out of my sight with an
amazing coruscation. The colour of this phenomenon was like
burnished, or new washed silver. It shot with speed like a star
falling in the night. But it has a body much larger and a train
longer than any shooting star I have seen... Next day, Mr. Edgecombe
informed me that he and another gentleman had seen this strange
phenomenon at the same time as I had. It was about 15 miles from
where I saw it, and steering a course from E. to N."
The witness of this event was a Mr. Cracker of Fleet, a small township
in Dorset, England. Mr. Cracker said that he saw this "flying saucer"
in broad daylight on December 8, 1773. ("Fate", April 1951, p. 24).
A Fellow of the Royal Society in London was about to cross St. Jame's
Park on his way home from a meeting on December 16, 1742, when he was
startled by the appearance of a remarkable celestial object:
"...a light arose from behind the trees and houses, to the south and
west, which at first I thought was a rocket, of large size. But when
it rose 20 degrees, it moved parallel to the horizon, and waved like
this -- he draws an undulating line -- and went on in the direction
of north by east. It seemed very near, its motion was very slow. I
had it for about half a mile in view. A light flame was turned
backward by the resistance the air made to it. From, one end, it
emitted a bright glare and fire like that of a burning charcoal.
That end was a flame like bars of iron, and quite opaque to my sight.
At one point, on the longitudinal frame, or cylinder, issued a train
in the shape of a tail of light more bright at one point on the rod
or cylinder; so that it was transparent for more than half of its
length. The head of this strange object seemed about half a degree
in diameter, and the tail near three degrees in length."
The observer signed himself "C.M.," probably preferring to remain
anonymous to avoid the expected skepticism and scoffing of his fellow
members. (Harold T. Wilkins, "Flying Saucers on the Attack," p. 206)
