Hi!

This is loosely connected to the main article and is in regards to the April 4, 1561 event:
For those interested, a link to a Wikipedia page with a digital reproduction of the original Flugblatt aus Nürnberg (Leaflet from Nuremberg). The image is too small for me to read, but as far as I can read the very first line it says “Anno M.D.LXI Am den XIIII. tag Aprillis zu morgen…”, which translates to “In the year of 1561 on the 14th day of April in the morning…”.

Hopefully the link will work properly:

Well it is weird,
Indeed the link you shown appares as one of the first result, but because of a [4] and another date (april 1535) , the part in bold for the lin description in google.
But no reference to the date. there is simply a small quote on wiki on the events of that year
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1561

plus it is not artwork, but a journalistic etching, like a journalist article.

set the search to “images” in google to find the pic.

@MHS

You are right, wiki is not perfect, but is a good start in most of the cases.
and thanks again for th Vallee & Aubeck book.

I don’t know. I try to avoid Wikipedia for research.

I’d have to look these up for bibliography, but I’d recommend getting Vallee and Aubeck’s book. It’s so-so when it comes to bibliography, but it’s very handy.

@null

I did what you requested and searched for “april 4th 1561″ in google. The first link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog

Doesnt wiki explain the occurances in the artwork your referring to?

Based on the work of Vallee and Aubeck (Wonders in the Sky) I would expect that those who reported this scene (like reports of “flying shields” for example) were seeing atmospheric or meteorological phenomena (with variegated colors) and using the best language they could to describe it. Vallee and Aubeck have this one in their book (#194) as “unidentified” (no secure way to know what was seen). For my review of Aubeck and Vallee’s book, see:

Hi, I read with great interest Diego Cuohgi’s blog on art and ufos. It was very interesting, and indeed it broke down a lot of misconceptions i had on the subject.
However there is one picture that still defies my understanding, this picture is not religious, but rather journalistic, it is a ethching representing an event, a small text seems to be linked to it.

you will easily find a link to the etching by typing “april 4th 1561″ in google

Do you have an opinion on it?
