Explanation of Ancient (and More Modern) “UFO” Reports?
December 16, 2008 on 12:03 am | In UFO sightings, UFOs as Folklore | No CommentsI can’t help thinking that this sort of weird — but completely natural — phenomenon is behind at least some of those “UFO sightings” in Greco-Roman or medieval texts. Most of the language used in those sources invokes astronomical terms, but then there are sightings that, to the ancient writer, were just too different for “normal” astronomical activity. The ancient and medieval writers wouldn’t have a word for “supernova effect.”
