Un’incisione di xilografia realizzata da Hans Glaser raffigura uno strano disturbo aereo che le persone di Norimberga hanno riferito di aver visto il 14 aprile 1561.

In one example, residents of Nuremberg, Germany reported a strange aerial battle on April 14, 1561. They wrote about seeing [orbs, crosses, cylinders, and a giant, mysterious black arrow-shaped object](https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/celestial-phenomenon-over-nuremberg-april-14th-1561/), which crash-landed in the distance. According to Hans Glaser, a local artist who made a woodcut depicting the event, the different objects in the sky “all started to fight among themselves” until “they became fatigued … fell from the sun down upon the earth ‘as if they all burned’ and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke.” However, he didn’t mention UFOs, only writing that “Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows.”

Any mentions of blue police boxes?

Ancient Aliens theorists says YES

Meteor shower? Different colours, different elements. Dots and small crosses the ones exploding mid air, the lines the burning ones which may have impacted, not sure about the big black, maybe they just made that part up, being medieval probably uneducated and overly religious people. 🤷🏻‍♂️
