One thought on “Were UFO sightings Reported Before the 20th Century”
Yes, there were reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) before the 20th century. Historical records from various cultures describe strange aerial phenomena that could be interpreted as UFO sightings. For instance, there are accounts from ancient Rome, medieval Europe, and even older civilizations like the Egyptians, where people described unusual lights or objects in the sky.
One notable example is the “foo fighters” reported by pilots during World War II, which some believe have origins in earlier sightings. Additionally, the Bible and other ancient texts include descriptions of chariots of fire or other celestial phenomena that some researchers suggest might align with modern interpretations of UFOs.
While the terminology and context have evolved over the years, the fascination and mystery surrounding unidentified aerial objects certainly existed long before the 20th century.
