In 1566 the people of Basel reported seeing something extremely weird in the sky. According to historical accounts, residents began noticing dark objects moving across the sky before sunrise. Witnesses described dozens of black spheres drifting and darting around near the rising sun. The objects were said to move in unusual ways, sometimes clustering together and then scattering apart. Some reports claimed the spheres appeared to collide with each other while the sky darkened briefly as they passed in front of the sun. The strange display lasted long enough for many people across the city to witness it.
The event was documented in printed broadsheets of the time and eventually became known as the 1566 Basel celestial phenomenon.
Any ideas? Sky battle or natural event?
