Wonders [on the ground and in the mind]

In the terrific Chris Aubeck and Jacques Vallee book Wonders in the Sky [Jeremy P. Tarcher Penguin, 2009, Paperback], on Pages 165-166, is a tale, in the time-frame of the Nuremberg/Basel broadsheets discussed here a short time ago:
On July 20, 1571 in Prague, Czechoslovakia the people of the city, awakened by a great wind and rumbling noise, looking towards the cattle fair [now Charles Square], saw an army marching along Spalena Street.
The soldiers, holding weapons, were being followed by something resembling “a large round ‘chariot’ drawn by an oxen.” 
The object, making a loud noise seemed to be made of metal “and had no wheels. Eight large human figures” marched behind the vehicle. The figures had no faces and wore “enormous spurs.”
After they crossed the square, “a great fire appeared” near a large number of boxes and barrels, that looked like those that carried gunpowder. The boxes and barrels were thrown on the fire.
A “frightful wind” arose, and a kind of “rain of fire” took place during which the “horrifying vision disappeared. However, a luminous object could be made out in the air, a circle of fire that persisted until dawn. That year there was a great famine and many people died.”
The source given for this account is J. Beckovský. (My Czech is not good or extant so the rest of the source eludes me, but this may help those who want to check out this event, and is provided on Page 166: V Praze, nákladem Dĕdictví sv. Prokopa, pismem knihtiskárn B. Stýblovy 1879-1880.)
Besides the novel description of this alleged occurrence is the further addendum that a great famine was taking place at the time, which seemed to elicit the eerie event just as religious foment brought about those weird “editorial cartoons” seen in the Nuremberg/Basil broadsheets for the Gazette “newspapers” in 1561 and 1566.
If the account noted above from the interesting Aubeck/Vallee book is authentic, it confirms my speculation that such imaginative “reports” [UFOs and otherwise] are brought forth from the anxiety and ferment that human tragedies inspire in creative types: artists and writers.
