Episode Synopsis
In 1561, the skies over Nuremberg erupted in what witnesses described as a celestial battle—spheres, rods, crosses, and a massive black spear appeared above the city at dawn. Was it divine warning, extraterrestrial war, or misunderstood natural phenomenon? This week on Dave Does History, we explore Hans Glaser’s famous broadsheet, the Reformation-era mindset behind it, and how this event morphed into modern UFO legend. With both historical insight and skeptical analysis, we unravel the story behind one of the strangest sightings in recorded history—and why it still sparks debate more than 450 years later. Tune in for truth... and a few clouds.
