 Nuremberg Gazette:

   In Germany, April 14^th 1561, the citizens of the city of Nuremberg awoke to what was described as a very frightful spectacle. Various strange objects were spotted in the sky, engaged in what appear to be an aerial battle. Could they have been seeing a close encounter with an alien civilization?  The people see this incredible site as the Sun is raising from the horizon, they see what they can describe as shining cones, circular objects, and cross shaped vessels, then these objects start emitting other, smaller circular objects. These spheres were seen for a long period of time, apparently they were fighting a battle over the city.

   The battle was so evident that people in Nuremberg were able to predict which side was wining because; some of the objects apparently began to catch fire and crashed into the ground and disappeared in a cloud of smoke and fire. Other objects were seen to fly off from the battle in direction of the Sun. This entire event has become memorialized in a broadsheet, a medieval newspaper.  This event is called the Nuremberg Gazette.

   Also a broadsheet of Basel, Switzerland reports a similar event in 1566. People saw a proliferation of circles above the city.
