At dawn over the skies of Nuremberg many men and women saw a very alarming spectacle, where various objects were involved, including spheres, "approximately 3m in length, from time to time, and four in a square" and between the spheres one saw a number of crosses the color of blood. Then one saw large pipes, in which small and large pipes (cigars?) and 3 spheres could be seen. "All these elements started to battle one against each other." The events lasted one hour and had such repercussions that the artist, Hans Glaser, drew a woodcut of it at the time. It portraits two immense black cylinders launching numerous blue and black spheres, blood red crosses and flying discs, they then appeared to fight a battle in the sky and it also appears that some of these spheres and objects crashed outside the city.
