What Wikipedia says

In April 1561, a broadsheet by Hans Glaser described a mass sighting of celestial phenomena or unidentified flying objects (UFO) above Nuremberg (then a Free Imperial City of the Holy Roman Empire). Ufologists have speculated that contemporary observers may have witnessed extraterrestrial spacecraft.
