| Some UFO History | |
| People
have reportedly seen UFOs for hundreds even thousands of
years. According to the Bible Elijah was carried to the
heavens in a fiery chariot. Ezekiel claimed to have
seen them also. On August 7, 1566, according to reports, a
group of round objects appeared in the sky over Basel,
Switzerland, and raced toward the sun. Before vanishing,
some turned toward each other, as if in combat. In 1896
people began to report cigar-shaped objects that looked
like airplanes. These reports came from England and New
Zealand between 1909 and 1913. Later reports came in from
all different countries. Over 400 years of UFO sightings have been reported. For many years people have thought these strange objects brought visitors from other worlds. In South America there are some ancient sculptures that look like space uniformed men. A few years before our own century began, dozens of strange objects were reported in the skies over America. One person called it "the airship". On April 21, 1897 a farmer wrote that it had a large, cigar-shaped section about 300 feet long, with a carriage underneath made of glass or something like it that you could see through. |
