• July: At Atacamena in the Copiago zone (Chile), a strange aerial construction pointing lights and producing engine sounds flew low over the city. The local population also described it as a giant bird covered in large scales producing a metallic noise. Although it did not land, this object is the first case of close observation of an unknown object at low altitude in the 19th century. Fort 638{.source} Anatomy 11{.source}
