??-??-1067
A.D. 1067
from Geoffrey Gaimar's Lestoire
des Englis: "In this year people saw a
fire that flamed and burned fiercely in the sky. It came near the earth and
for a little time brilliantly lit it up. Afterwards, it revolved, ascended on high, and then
descended into the sea. In several places it burned woods and
plains, and in the County of Northumberland this fire showed itself in two
seasons of the year." We don't quite get the bit about its appearing in
two seasons, but the implication is clear: simply that the British Isles were
twice visited by some annoying form of UFO, circa 1066, which seems to have
been on a rampage and which eventually went down
into the sea. They had their troubles even then. Similar affairs exercised
the clergy and other authorities, and the common people, throughout the
following centuries.
