One Quick Thing…
1561 Celestial Phenomenon Over Nuremberg
This caught my eye… I thought it was particularly interesting in view of the recent claims about leaked information from the Pentagon regarding its UFO Project — “Project Aqua”
On April 14, 1561, the people of Nuremberg saw what seemed to have been an aerial battle between flying spheres, crosses, and cylinders, and the appearance of a black, very large, arrow-shaped object.
According to a broadsheet written by Hans Glaser, letter-painter of Nuremberg
“At daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women"
“At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone.”
“In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.”
“These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke.”
“After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west.”
“Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness.”
Over a span of two weeks, during the summer of 1566, the people of Basel, Switzerland (275 miles/440km away from Nuremberg), witnessed what appears to have been the same kind of event, and even depicted it the same way.
