Episode 333 — The Nuremberg Sky Battle: Did UFOs Fight Over Germany in 1561?
On April 14th, 1561, residents of Nuremberg witnessed something extraordinary in the early morning sky.
According to a surviving illustrated account created by printer Hans Glaser, the sky filled with strange spheres, crosses, crescents, and enormous cylindrical objects. Some appeared to emerge from larger objects, others moved toward one another as if engaged in battle, and after more than an hour, objects reportedly fell toward the ground through clouds of smoke. Then, an enormous black spear-like shape appeared across the sky.
More than 465 years later, we're still trying to figure out what they actually saw.
Was the Nuremberg Sky Battle an incredible display of atmospheric optics? A religious warning exaggerated through the beliefs of 16th-century Europe? Or could this be one of the earliest recorded mass UFO sightings in history?
This week, Victus and Hazel investigate the original 1561 account, the famous Hans Glaser woodcut, a remarkably similar event over Basel just five years later, and the leading explanations for what really happened over Nuremberg.
Was it truly paranormal… or just bullshit?
