Woodcut of an "aerial UFO battle over Nurnberg", now Nuremberg, Germany on April 4, 1561 - Some "aircraft" crashed. As a result of religious interpretation, medieval artists interpreted fuselages and wings as crosses, and rockets became tubes full of balls. Or is it the other way around? Or was it a severe mispreprentation of an artillery battle, as Carl-Gustav Jung suggested?
