UFO – Unidentified Flying Objects – are real . Of course they are : Hundreds of people see mysterious objects in the skyall the time . However , some are considered by a more bizarre few to represent something more oracular and exotic . Either manner , there have beenreported sightingsof these levitating blobs and lights for years . Now , a historiographer has give away that he has uncovered evidence of what may be the first - ever documented UFO sighting – which was made in Hull , England , way back in 1801 .
Although theearliest UFO imagewas demand from the summit of Mount Washington , New Hampshire , in 1870 , sighting of these mysterious object may have stretched back even earlier , with some grounds only put down in writing . Mike Covell , an generator and historian , peruse through newspaper archives from the beginning of the 19th century , and discover a written description in the newspaper , the Northampton Mercury , of a huge , moon - like orb that appear over the metropolis at roughly 1:00 a.m. on July 11 , 1801 , accompanied by a unearthly blue luminosity .
The “ immense moon ” also had a black bar running across it . accord to theMirror , the report card tell : “ It seemed then to take form itself into seven small distinct moons or globes of fire which disappeared for the infinite of a few second . Its return was equally glorious , at first showing itself like the cheek of the Sun Myung Moon , afterwards in five rotary balls , and lastly like several small star which gradually faded away , leave the whole atmosphere bright illuminated . ”

Another local newspaper , the Chester Chronicle , described the unearthly blue luminousness emitted by the object – but a workweek later , on July 17 .
It is n’t immediately light that a UFO sighting older than this has n’t also fall out – perhaps the records have n’t been checked yet . In fact , fit in toTIME , the early UFO sighting in recorded account can be constitute in 4th 100 Taiwanese tome , which claim that a “ moon boat ” hovered above the area every 12 eld .
“ There is a lot of portrait register hooey fly about in the sky from scriptural time . But it is all open to interpretation – whereas this is substantial grounds , ” Mr. Covell separate the Mirror .
We ’re not particularly convert that a compose written report about a unknown light in the sky is conclusive validation of what is inferred to be an foreign UFO . Distressingly , the description of the Sun Myung Moon - like UFO makes itsound somewhat like the Death Star . Perhaps it did come from a galax far , far away after all .
