Almost no one thinks the official UFO history dates back to 24.6.1947, when Kenneth Arnold, an amateur pilot, saw a series of flashing flying saucers above the Rocky Mountains. According to preserved chronographs, however, it is obvious that this was not the first time strange objects observed events around the world.

Asia

As early as 557, sightings of unknown objects were recorded in China, which had a strange winding flight path. In 905, cases of unknown objects hovering over some places were recorded, and 934 a strange object was observed that changed shape several times during the flight.

In 989, several objects flew over medieval Japan, eventually merging into one, and in 1015 the opposite phenomenon was observed, with smaller glowing spheres flying out of two objects. In 1133, the Japanese saw shield-shaped objects flying, and in 1235, Colonel Joricuma and his army observed flying objects in the shape of plates, copying circles and loops above them all night. In 1423, several zigzag objects flew, then merged into one, and in 1606 objects were observed in the sky for a long time hovering over the then capital, Kyoto.

Rus

(I was such a phenomenon in the summer of 6738 in the month of May) on the tenth day of this month another sun was seen rising very early. It was a triangular-shaped celestial body that turned into a star and disappeared. Then the sun came up at the usual time. (Note: the year is given according to the Old Slavic calendar, it corresponds to our year 1230.) From the Chronicle of Ivan the Terrible.

In all probability, it was a huge flying object, which then began to recede and thus "turned" into a star.

Evropa

A cigar-shaped object was seen above England in 1104, around which several glowing disks circled. In a manuscript from Ampleforth Abbey (England), written in ecclesiastical Latin, we read: “One day in 1290, a large, oval, silver-like body appeared above the heads of frightened monks. It flew slowly over them and aroused great horror. "

In the summer of 1355, many people observed a large number of blue and red glowing objects moving in different directions in the sky, giving the impression that they were attacking each other. Then the "army" of reds began to win and the blues gradually began to fall to the ground.

In 1461, an unknown object spiraled over Arras (France).

In 1490, a silver disk-shaped object flew over the roofs of houses several times in Ireland, leaving a long trail behind. As he flew over the church, the bell rang.

In 1520, a large sphere appeared above Erfurt, from which a rotating beam emanated, and it was accompanied by two smaller ones.

In April 1561, the people of Nuremberg could watch a large number of flying "plates" and "crosses" and two huge wars, from which groups of spheres flew. And red, blue and black discs at the same time. To the great dismay of the Nuremberg people, a battle broke out over their heads. After about an hour, the objects began to destroy each other and fall to the ground.

In August 1566, huge "inclined pipes" appeared over Basel, from which spheres jumped out, and at the same time a number of black spherical bodies flying at high speed to the Sun appeared in their vicinity. After a while, they took a half-turn and there was a clash. Some of the objects changed color to fiery red and "ate each other."

In the same year, sparkling spheres were recorded over Münster.

In front of the people of Cambridge - in 1646, a spinning fireball first landed outside the city, then rose again and moved away at high speed.

On April 8, 1665, around two o'clock in the afternoon, fishermen from the village of Barhöft (then Sweden, now Germany) saw celestial ships fighting together. After the battle, a dark object hung in the sky. "A flat, round-shaped object appeared in the sky, resembling a man's hat. 'It was the color of the darkened moon and hovered over St. Nicholas Church until the evening. The fishermen were scared to death, they didn't even want to look in that direction and covered their eyes with their hands. The next day they became ill, shivering, and had headaches and limb pains. Many scholars have considered this event, "wrote German polyhistoria and writer Erasmus Finx in 1689.

There is a letter from the 17th century, which was sent by the Cyrilo-Bělojezerský monastery to the government council, concerning meteorites in the Bělojezerský district. It states that on August 15, 1663, a luminous body about 40 meters in diameter appeared above the village of Robozero in the Vologda province, flying low, accompanied by thunder, and moving south. From its front, two rays were aimed at the lake where the village lies. Then it suddenly disappeared and appeared half a mile southwest. It disappeared again, and for the third time it reappeared half a kilometer further, this time to the west, flashed and flew away. The villagers tried to approach the object on a boat, but they felt a strong heat and the water in the lake was illuminated to a depth of 8 meters. It all took place for an hour and a half.

On April 2, 1716, the collision of two flying objects in the St. Petersburg area was observed. The description of the event was made by order of Admiral Cornelius Cruys, in the name of the Russian Tsar), the record is stored in the archives of the USSR military-naval fleet. At nine o'clock in the evening, a condensed dark cloud with a wide base and a pointed top rushed into the blue cloudless sky from the northeast at high speed. At the same time, another similar dark cloud appeared in the north, moving eastward and approaching the first "cloud" from the west. As they converged, light cylinders formed between them that lasted several minutes. Then the two "clouds" collided and shattered, as if by a very strong blow. A large flame and lots of smoke appeared at the crash site. At the same time, a number of small "clouds" were observed, which moved with incredible speed and spewed whipping flames. In addition, "a lot of missiles that crossed the sky" also emerged. According to the witnesses, it resembled a battle of navies or troops and was terrifying. The minutes also state that at this time, a huge glittering "comet" appeared in the northwest, rising to 12 degrees above the horizon. The anomalous phenomenon lasted about 15 minutes, and around ten o'clock in the evening the sky was clear again.

On December 2, 1741, Lord Beauchamp saw a small fiery oval in London (at 21:45 p.m.) descending from the sky. As he descended to a height of 800 meters, he stopped and headed east. He left a trail full of fire and smoke.

We are in London again, this time on March 19, 1748, and then at 19:45 Sir Hans Sloane saw a dazzling white-blue object descending on the west side of the sky, leaving a red-yellow trail behind. He disappeared after half a minute.

In 1783, the Italian Cavello watched over the sea an oval luminous object, which jumped across the sky. After a while, he soared sharply and headed east, then abruptly changed direction and his light intensified. Eventually, the object changed shape to elongated, split into two objects, and they disappeared.

The Italian researcher Alberto Fenoglio discovered documents describing the landing of a UFO near the French city of Alençon, which took place on June 12, 1790 around 17 p.m. A police inspector, Libier, was sent from Paris to investigate the incident. Locals told the inspector that they saw a large spinning ball surrounded by a flame flying at high speed. Suddenly she began to descend and landed on a nearby hill. At the same time, she destroyed a large vegetable garden. The heat radiating from the building burned the surrounding bushes and grass. The huge ball was so hot it was impossible to touch it.

"Witnesses of this event," Libier wrote in his report, "were two mayors, one doctor and three other respected locals, not to mention the number of villagers. If necessary, everyone can confirm my message:

When the locals surrounded a strange object, “a door-like opening opened in the wall, and a creature that looked like us came out, but in a strange garment. As soon as she saw us, she muttered something incomprehensible and ran to the forest. "

The frightened villagers stepped back, and within minutes the ball disintegrated silently, leaving only fine dust. The search for a strange creature began, but without success.

In 1812, a large star accompanied by a beam of rays emerged in the sky above Bukovina (Ukraine), headed for Russia, and returned after a while. This "star appeared regularly for four months (when Napoleon's Russian campaign took place).

In September 1851, more than a hundred illuminated disks appeared over Hyde Park, London, where the World's Fair was held at the time, flying in from the east and north and flying together after joining London.

The Madrid newspaper of August 1863 described an event in which “a reddish-glowing disk appeared in the evening in the southeast of Madrid. He floated motionless for a long time and then began to move quickly in both horizontal and vertical directions. "

America

One of the first UFO sightings over the American continent was recorded in 1517, in the sailing logbook, commanded by Juan de Grijalva (nephew of Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, Cuba's first governor) and located near the Yucatán. At that time, a strange object appeared above the masts of the sailboats, which then hovered for three hours over the village of Quotzacoalca, emitting dazzling rays.

Massachusetts Gov. John Winthrop also mentions several cases of observation in his account of 17th-century life in Boston. In March 1639, he and two others crossed James Everell across the Muddy River at Back Bay Fens, and they saw a bright light coming from a rectangular object in the sky. At first he hung motionless, then began to move in the direction of Charlestown and back, for 2-3 hours, then disappeared. Their observations were confirmed by other witnesses.

On January 18, 1644, at eight o'clock in the evening, a glow that could be the size of a full moon began to emanate from the sea in northeast Boston. After a few minutes, a similar light appeared in the east. The two light objects merged and disappeared behind the hilltops.

In the woods near Hopkinton, New Hampshire, luminous spheres were observed many times, mostly at night, between 1750 and 1800. According to the testimony, these balls often followed pedestrians, stopped hanging if a person stopped, and continued to fly when the pedestrian began to move again. They approached them to a distance of about 15 meters.

In July 1868, residents of the Chilean city of Copiapó saw a large "bird" with ladders in the sky, making a "metallic" sound.

There is a theory that the cause of the great Chicago fire on October 8, 1871 was the flight of a huge fireball, which "destroyed" several inhabited places along the way. The heat emanating from the sphere was so strong that even marble burned and the metal melted. Hundreds of bodies of people who died of unknown causes were found around Chicago after flying over the building.

That same night, similar balls went to Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesot, the Indian, and Illinois. In the state of Wisconsin, the city of Green Bay, about 1500 people died at the time, and there were 6000 victims in Peshtig.

On the night of April 12-13, 1879, Henry Harrison observed bell-shaped objects in New Jersey moving rather chaotically across the sky. The New York Tribune wrote about his experiences, and the article was later taken over by Scientific American.

Beginning in 1880, observations of so-called celestial vessels of unusual shapes and accompanied by various lights began to "multiply" in the United States.

On the evening of March 26, 1880, several people in the Santa Fe area of ​​New Mexico spotted a fish-like object in the sky, from which several voices spilled. He then disappeared in an easterly direction.

In 1886, the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo: an unknown oval object hovered over one of the houses for some time. Swelling appeared on the bodies of the 9 inhabitants who were staying there at that time. The next day they disappeared, leaving black spots; on the tenth day they became inflamed, formed open wounds, and began to lose hair. At the same time, the trees growing near the house withered and black spots also appeared. All affected people were taken to hospital and survived.

In 1895, flights of groups of unknown objects were observed over Mexico.

Between November 1896 and April 1897, a large number of observations of unknown objects were recorded in the USA, which came from thousands of inhabitants of various cities and about which the periodical wrote. In 1896 in San Francisco and in 1897 in Chicago and Kansas City, cigar-shaped objects hovered over the cities, emitting radiant rays to the ground that resembled cone headlights.

All the above information can be considered indisputable and highly interesting, if only because the people of that time did not know Steven Spielberg and his Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is obvious that various mysterious events are taking place on the planet Earth, and it does not matter whether the originator is aliens or our descendants from the future.
