The 1561 Nuremberg Celestial Event: UFOs or Atmospheric Phenomena?
2025-02-22
On April 14, 1561, a mass sighting of unusual celestial phenomena occurred over Nuremberg. A woodcut broadsheet depicts hundreds of spheres, cylinders, and other objects engaging in what appeared to be an aerial battle. While some interpret this as evidence of extraterrestrial spacecraft, skeptics attribute the event to atmospheric phenomena like sun dogs. Carl Jung offered a perspective suggesting a natural event overlaid with religious and military interpretations, leaving the true nature of the 1561 Nuremberg event a subject of ongoing debate.
