| 1557 - Above Tubingen, Germany fiery clouds circled in the sky around |
| seven o'clock in the morning, from which emerged "large, tall and |
| wide" hat-shaped objects. The glow cast upon the ground was yellow |
| and "bloody". The hat-shaped flying objects were multicolored: black, |
| red, blue, and green. (Sources: Larry Hatch, U computer database, |

| 1737 - An astronomer in Sheffield, England saw a dark red, luminous |
| cloud that emitted intense beams of light (solid light). The light |
| beams moved slowly, then stopped. He suddenly felt so hot that he had |

| Lauderdale, and made increasingly frantic radio calls announcing they |
| were lost and calling for assistance. A huge rescue search operation |
| caused more aboard a Martin Mariner sea rescue plane to be lost. |
