Our world has encountered strange and bizarre events for centuries and oftentimes they remain forever unexplained but the similarities may tie us all together throughout the ages. From stories of strange and bewildering creatures that pop up across the continents to astonishing sites in the skies, these stories continue to be a tie between the old world and the modern era.

1561 Germany Incident

Long before the Roswell New Mexico incident in 1947, there were claims of strange celestial encounters and sightings in the skies. Historians found a recorded claim from 1561 in Germany.

Around dawn on April 14th, 1561, locals in Nuremberg witnessed a bizarre event in the sky. According to belief, witnesses claimed to have seen hundreds of spheres, cylinders, and strangely shaped objects moving erratically over Nuremberg. People described it as a battle in the air. It was allegedly followed up by a large, black, triangular object and a crash outside of the city.

A broadsheet article was printed in the local news later that month, describing the event in detail. According to the early day news article, at the beginning of the event, there appeared to be two blood-red, semi-circular arcs in the middle of the sun. It goes on to describe numerous globe-like structures and several structures that were rod-shaped also appearing. What looked like a fight carried on for an hour. At the end of the fight, the strange objects began falling to earth “as if they all burned.”

Over the years, modern UFO enthusiasts have interpreted the event as an aerial battle or dog fight, possibly of extraterrestrial origin as humans had yet to take to the skies. Skeptics have repeatedly dismissed the claims, insisting the event was a “sun dog.”

From 1561 Germany to today triangle-shaped UFOs have appeared all over the Earth. Increases in sightings of the triangular UFOs have occurred since the 80s and have awed many as they allegedly hovered and floated over the US. More than ten US states have recorded reports of people seeing the strange phenomenon along with glowing lights in a triangular formation. Perhaps the most famous of those reports, the famed Arizona lights, received international attention.

People in 1561 Germany would have no idea about the strange triangles that have been reported in the modern-day, leaving many in awe and looking to the stars for answers. Nearly 600 years later, we’re still experiencing the same phenomenon around the world.

Triangle UFOs In The 21st Century

In 1997 over Phoenix Arizona the world had no idea that it was about to see the most documented UFO encounter in the world.

Just before seven o’clock the night of March 13, a man reported a V-shaped object in the skies over Henderson, Nevada. A former police officer from Paulden, Arizona, is reported to have been the next person to report seeing the triangle-shaped UFO as he was driving north.

Dozens of “explanations” have been pondered over the years and the videos that were taken of the events that were reported have been analyzed by many. While the Air Force has offered explanations, those explanations when compared to the video, don’t match up.

Over 20 years have passed since the Phoenix lights were first reported and there’s been no definitive answer. The event was touched on during the Congressional hearings of 2021.

In 1561 Nuremberg, people witnessing the incredible event described a triangle-shaped “craft” in the sky along with other oddly shaped craft. In the current day, we’ve finally reached a place in human history where our government is forced to admit that UFO videos are genuine. They have yet to categorically confirm the existence of extraterrestrial crafts being involved. But, it’s worth noting that they aren’t vehemently denying the existence or possibility of these phenomena.

It’s interesting, when you consider the potential angle of view, and how a pyramid-shaped UFO would look from the ground because these too would look triangular from the right viewpoint.

Conclusion

Whether you’re a believer or you are a denier, there’s no arguing with the fact that reports of triangle-shaped objects in the 16th century being similar to descriptions in the 21st century is a discussion-worthy subject. The intriguing part to me is our belief that the Roswell report is the first reported sighting of UFOs could be wrong. From the description of the 1561 Nuremberg incident, there are few ways to interpret the accounts other than as UFOs. This then ties us through the centuries by one of the strangest events humankind will ever witness.
