ANCIENT ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTERS DOCUMENTED

.

When reading a while back about UFOs it always stuck in my mind that on New Year’s Day in 1254 the monks at St.Albans in England sighted ‘a kind of ship flying’ in the sky that was ‘large, elegantly shaped and of a marvelous color.’ The UFO phenomenon isn’t something new.  I thought, for a change therefore, we’d look at a dozen of the UFO visits from the distance past.

.

1504 BC: This is probably one of the earliest written accounts of a UFO – the following description is an excerpt from an Egyptian papyrus under the reign of Thutmose III.

.

‘In the year 22… sixth hour of the day… the scribes of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky… it had no head, the breath of its mouth had a foul odour. Its body one rod long and one rod wide. It had no voice… Now after some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever.

‘They shone more in the sky than the brightness of the sun and extended to the four supports of the heavens… Powerful was the position of the fire circles… It was after supper. Thereupon these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards the south… It was ordered by the Pharaoh to be written in the annals of the House of Life… so that it be remembered for ever.

.

500 BC: In the ancient Indian text Samarangana Sartradhara there is a description of piloted flying machines called vimanas. These were powered by some unknown source and they could ‘carry death’ to anywhere on earth.

.

216 BC: Julius Obsequens wrote in his book Prodigorium liber of how ‘things like ships were seen in the sky over Italy… At Apri a round shield was seen in the sky. At Capua, the sky was on fire, and one saw figures like ships.’

.

214 BC: This time in Italy at Hadria ‘an altar in the sky’ was seen.

.

66 AD: The historian Pliny the Elder tells of a big spark as ‘big as the moon’ which fell from the sky – and then returned to the heavens. He also told of how ‘a burning shield scattering sparks ran across the sky at sunset from east to west.’

.

584: St. Gregory, the bishop of Tours in France, recorded various sightings in his Historia Francorum. ‘There appeared in the sky brilliant rays of light which seemed to cross and collide with one another.’ He also described ‘golden globes’ which flashed at speed across the skies of France.

.

793: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reports, ‘In this year terrible portents appeared in Northumbria (England) and miserably afflicted the inhabitants. These were exceptional flashing and lightning and fiery dragons seen flying through the air.’

.

1170: Roger Niger described ‘a wonderfully large dragon’ which was ‘borne up from earth though the air. The air was kindled into fire by its motion and burned a house, reducing it and its outbuildings to ashes.’ This was seen at Osyth, Essex, England.

.

1180: In Japan something similar to a flying saucer was seen, though they described this as a flying ‘earthenware vessel.’ The object or UFO was heading in a northeast direction from a mountain in the Kii province. This suddenly changed direction and vanished below the horizon, leaving a luminous trail.

.

1290: The monks at Byland Abbey in Yorkshire spotted a ‘large round silver disk’ passing through the skies.

.

1561: This time the sighting was in Nuremberg in Germany where it was said that there was ‘a very frightful spectacle.’ During daylight glowing tubes, globes and crosses were seen in the sky and appeared to do battle. This lasted for an hour and some then fell to the earth as ‘if on fire.’

.

There are many, many other UFO sightings on record from the distant past. We sometimes seem to think of such things as a modern phenomena, probably starting with the Kenneth Arnold flying saucer stories from 1947. But very little in life is actually new – much has already been seen or experienced previously by past generations.
