      Hey, thanks in advance for your forbearance in reading this. Your comment evoked one of my favorite memories...
      Decades ago, via a friend's kind favor, I had an hours long visit to the curators' library at Westminster Abbey. Two friendly cats lazed about - often right on top of the books: the logic being that the rodent policing they did far outweighed any perceived damage from their fur, etc.
      Between the smell of old pages, bindings and the slow blinks of the feline guards, time itself felt, well, wobbly. (Plus, I'm an old Yank who's always adored history for its own sake.)
      I guess these places mean as much as seed vaults to some of us. It's about more than what was written: it's proximity to our ancestors' richest inner lives.

      This apparition prevented a badly outnumbered Lucullus from suffering a defeat at the hands of Marcus Marius. The time bought by the withdrawal allowed Lucullus to interrogate a prisoner and learned Marcus Marius didn't have enough supplies for a protracted campaign. Lucullus used that information to avoid battle until Marcus Marius withdrew and Lucullus' forces were preserved. Lucullus then used those forces to break Mithridates' siege of Cyzicus. He then pursued the withdrawing army trapping and killing many at the Aesepus and Granicus Rivers. By the time it was all said and done Mithridates' force was 20,000 from its original 300,000.
      This apparition changed the outcome of the war.

    Regarding the Mithridatic Wars one, I actually ran the math for how much energy a nickel-iron meteorite would impart if it was actually the size reported and it came out to 73 Tonnes of TNT, and my numbers were explicitly an underestimate (I simplified the volume to a double-cone rather than an amphora-shape and used a lower end entry velocity of around 18 km/s). It would have left a roughly 30 foot crater 5 feet deep and wiped out both armies if it had actually landed between them.

      They did start in the 1900s no one called it UFOs before that. Most people in the past had other names for it. A sign from God, a disaster (comet / bad star), etc. The term UFO (or "UFOB") was coined in 1953 by the United States Air Force (USAF) to serve as a catch-all. the USAF stated that a "UFOB" was "any airborne object which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object".

    The one from Japan is interesting. Thinking about it and understanding ocean currents, there are a few possibilities. There are cases where objects from Europe or Africa are found at coast of Brazil or Colombia. Most famously, is the guy that lost his surfboard in Hawaii and after 2 years de surfboard was found in the Philippines. That being said, there are two ocean currents that reach Japan. the North ecuatorial current (from mexico to Philippines to Japan) and the Oyashio Current (Siberia to Japan). Since Mexico is too far, it could be very plausible that the women is actually from a tribe of Siberia (it is close to japan). Maybe as a punishment or not, they put here in that 'boot' and she drifted with the current towards Japan in a few days.

      It sounds like a boat of European design. It mentions metal plating on the underside and glass windows, which were both common features of European ships in 1803 (copper plating prevented fouling of the hull with shipworms), but might have seemed very strange to people in remote parts of Japan during the Edo period, when the country was under self-imposed isolation and trade with outsiders was restricted to only a couple of ports. If the woman was put out to sea again after consulting with the old man, then the drawings from the manuscript probably weren't drawn from life, so may be more representative of the fishermen's comparison of the boat to an incense burner rather than its actual appearance. She might have been a shipwreck survivor, or possibly the crew hid somehow because they knew about Japan's reputation for arresting and executing interlopers.

    My UFO encounter was much more recent (relatively speaking) as it occurred "only" 42 years ago. One frosty December night, my best friend and I were driving the 'short cut' road from one part of town to another. It passed through heavy forrest with no homes. Running parallel to the road were high tension power lines. As we drove along, I noticed multicoloured lights slowly flashing off to our left through the trees , over the power lines. There was a little side road which ran in that direction, so we decided to drive down and check it out. Recent snowfall made the way virtually impassible, so instead of getting stuck, we stopped partway in and trudged through the snow toward the lights. We saw a "classic" saucer shape, about 30 feet across, with lights revolving around the rim of the craft. It was silent except for a low humming. We were pretty freaked out, but figured, 'hey we've come this far', and got to within 100 feet of it. At that point, it's lights shut off and it went 'zip!' straight up and out of sight. Needless to say, no one believed a pair of imaginative teens.

Apparently, he and his friend were woken up by footsteps with no source, and saw a chalice spontaneously fall down and get thrown across the room. Eventually, the footsteps stopped. It's not very exciting and he only dedicated a single paragraph to it, but he was a smart man who wrote his autobiography decades later to set an example for his son, and there's not much reason to doubt his claims.

Roman Empire was created by Romans, was pagan for most of its existence, and its fall marks the end of antiquity, while the Holy Roman Empire (later Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation) was created late into early middle ages and dissolved during Napoleonic wars, was almost entirely Christian, and consisted mostly of today's Germany. The Emperor I speak of lived in 14th century, 900 years after the fall of Roman Empire.

Him and his family weren't the only one's who pulled off the side of the road and saw it. It was the onlookers that made him stop in the first place. He said the thing took off out of sight after some time so they drove down the road for about 20-25mins the same direction they were already going and saw it again.

    I'm curious if there are any surviving accounts of the Mystery Airship of Aurora, Texas in 1897.
    Supposedly a strange craft collided with a windmill and crashed to earth in this small town. Local people and even a member of the US Signal Corp managed to recover the bodies of the two pilots, who were said to resemble no human or known creature. Nonetheless, the townsfolk gave the pair a proper Christian burial. The wreckage of the spacecraft was abandoned down a disused well. So the legend goes, at least.

    • @mormacfey
      @mormacfey Před 2 lety +111

      Oscar Lowery, who had been eleven years old in 1897, said that he had absolutely no recollection of a crash of any kind. He expressed the strong opinion that the whole thing had been a hoax dreamed up by Hayden, who was trying to make the town a tourist attraction. Hayden lived in Aurora and was distressed to see the town's fortunes declining. Lowery said that the T. J. Weems, "the U.S. Signal Service officer" and astronomer mentioned in the original article, was really the town blacksmith and knew nothing about astronomy. Besides, said Lowery, Judge Proctor never had a windmill in the first place. He said that a lot of people had known that story was a hoax because Hayden discussed it with them.

      The story is true. The reason there was no recollection of a windmill on the property is it was the kind attached to the top of a barn. The pilot's grave has not been found because the stone marker with a crude carving of the airship was removed from the cemetery. The well is on a property where all of the grass growing around it was stunted and the owner grew a huge misshapen arm from drinking the water. The current owner had the well unsealed and tested revealing high amounts of aluminum, probably from the frame of the airship.

    Some english scholars have recently made a study about UFO sightings in the last 200 years or so. They found a pattern: the objects traits described by witnesses (shape, colors, size, movements) had a lot in common with how they were represented in media and popular culture by that time. Like the Roswell incident in 1947 was followed by many flying saucers sightings. Some years later they were shaped like cigars. Curious, ain´t it?

      The old native Americans in the west heard word that there were strange floating fortresses out at sea, coming ashore. After the first of these were seen, it became more and more common to make these things up. The inhabitants were supposedly strange "men" with paler skin and bright white, orange or brown hair.

    In 1909, New Zealand had similar sightings of 'airships'. Probably the same ones?
    An account of one such sighting:
    “It first came into our view from the east,” said the narrator,” and we thought it was a meteor or a falling star, but the light grew in brilliance. It moved about the hills above Kaitangata [177m, S46°15’, E169°54’] sometimes swooping down from a height of apparently 2000ft [610m] to about 1000ft [305m] and even lower. Then it would turn and make away towards the sea, or would dip completely out of sight behind the hills. It seemed to move with as much ease, and even grace, as a bird on the wing.
    The light carried was a strong and steady one, and whenever the ship, or whatever it was, turned, we thought we could see a dark, opaque body. Certainly we could see, without a doubt, the reflection of the light in the clouds. It was a white light with a reflector, just what would be used by an airship driven by an electric motor. When she was sideways on we thought we could see the reflection as of a black body above and below. It was a marvellously mystifying sight.

When i was around 7, back in about 98, myself and another boy, a neighbour, we're playing on our local green, when all of a sudden we looked up and there was a grey metallic disc flying slowly from west to east, broad daylight -- we screamed and ran home.

I asked the neighbor and without any clues he described a military jet taking off at 3am, but not being able to see anything. It was in a ravine and his house overlooked it, and was less than 100m from the scene, so he should've seem something. Pretty weird.
      Had another security guard tell me about lights that went under their dinghy in the bay, and a friend whose fisherman husband saw a craft land below his house and little people come out.

    The Nuremberg event, with its flying crosses (fighter planes?) battling one another and falling to the earth in flames sounded alot like a WW2 aerial battle witnessed from the ground. Maybe there was some sort of phenomena/time distortion that displayed a vision of a aerial conflict over 1940's Nuremberg.

      The Nazis had a secret space program based on channelled information (research Maria Orsich, Vril society and Thule society) and one of the side effects of the torsion field craft they use is time travel. The red lensing effect around the sun does seem to indicate some kind of distortion between the observers and that light source.
