APR-16-1651   [WED]


LOCATION:
United Kingdom


WHAT HAPPENED:
      Just before sunset on this day in 1651, two women in rural England allegedly witnessed a battle between two aerial armies.

      From http://science.howstuffworks.com/space/aliens-ufos/ufo-history3.htm:

Still other accounts of UFOs are rooted in culture, perhaps the result of visions or hallucinations. Just before sunset on April 16, 1651, two women in rural England supposedly witnessed a battle between armies. At the conclusion of the battle there appeared, according to a contemporary account, blue angels "about the bigness of a capon, having faces (as they thought) like owls."

      This event is alleged because science doesn't yet acknowledge that UFOs are from other planets because there is no hard evidence to support it... at least not yet anyway.
