Not all unidentified flying objects are potential alien spacecraft. Some are
|
|
much stranger. Consider, for example, the strange phenomena that passed over
|
|
Biskopsberga, Sweden, early in the 19th century.
|
|
|
|
It was a cloudless afternoon on May 16, 1808, and a hard wind blew from the
|
|
west; the sun over the village suddenly grew dim. At the western horizon a
|
|
great number of spherical bodies appeared. They were heading toward the sun
|
|
and changed from dark brown to black as they got closer to the sun. As they
|
|
approached, they lost speed but sped up again after passing in front of the
|
|
sun. They moved in a straight procession across the sky to the eastern
|
|
horizon. According to Transactions of the Swedish Academy of Sciences (1808),
|
|
"The phenomenon lasted uninterruptedly, upwards of two hours, during which
|
|
time millions of similar bodies continually rose in the west, one after the
|
|
other irregularly, and continued their career in exactly the same manner."
|
|
|
|
Some of the balls fell out of the sky, several landing not far from K.G.
|
|
Wettermark, secretary of the Swedish Academy of Sciences. Seen just before
|
|
they hit the ground, they resembled "those air-bubbles which children use to
|
|
produce from soapsuds by means of a reed. When the spot, where such a ball had
|
|
fallen, was immediately after examined, nothing was to be seen, but a scarcely
|
|
perceptible film or pellicle, as thin and fine as a cobweb, which was still
|
|
changing colors, but soon entirely dried up and vanished."
|
|
|
|
The balls still in the air continued their passage until all disappeared in the
|
|
east.
