UFO Battle at Nuremberg 1561

You may have missed this multiple UFO sighting reported on April 4, 1561 by the Nuremberg Gazette in Germany?  The city witnessed a battle of UFOs as described in a Altered Dimensions.net article.  "It began at dawn, as dozens, if not hundreds, of crosses, globes and tubes fought each other above the city.  It ended an hour later, when 'the globes in the small and large rods flew into the sun,' and several of the other objects crashed to earth and vanished in a thick cloud of smoke.  According to the Nuremberg Gazette, the 'dreadful apparition' filled the morning sky with 'cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about.'  Between the spheres, there were 'crosses with the color of blood.' (i.e. red crosses)  This 'frightful spectacle' was witnessed by "numerous men and women."  Afterwards, a 'black, spear-like object' appeared."  An amazing story memorialized in a woodcut (picture) created by Hans Glaser at the time.  What truly resonates are descriptions of craft that seem contemporary to reports in our time.  It's been speculated 16th century Nuremberg witnessed a World War II battle due to a time rip?  In another interesting twist, a very similar incident occurred five years later in Basel, Switzerland.  You may view an excerpt from History Channel on You Tube that covers event below the fold.
