UFO’s Over Nice, France
On the evening of August 5th, 1608, three
luminous craft visited the sky over Baie des Anges in Nice,
France, much
to the dismay of its citizens. They watched the objects race errantly about
for some time, when they suddenly stopped and hovered a few feet above the
water. The craft were long, oval in shape and flattened along their lengths,
each with a "strange mast" sitting on top of them. The bay waters began to froth
underneath them, giving off a dense orange vapor, accompanied by a
loud, unpleasant noise. From one of the craft two vaguely human looking
beings appeared. They were described as being dressed in red clothes covered
with silvery scales, with huge heads and luminous eyes. The two creatures,
holding cables or tubes attached to the craft, jumped into the water and
moved about their ship for around two hours. When they returned inside the
object, all three left at a high rate of speed, leaving the terrified
residents of Nice wondering at what this omen from God could possibly mean.

Citizens of Nice, France saw UFOs in 1608
At the
beginning of the 17th century, the city of Nice in the South of France was
going through one of its most prosperous periods. Early in the morning of August 5th, 1608, the
inhabitants of Nice saw three strange luminous crafts revolving at great
velocity in the skies above the city. The objects stopped above the fortress,
hovering still above it for a while, then descending
slowly towards the surface of the Mediterranean close to the Port. The Nicois were able to watch closely in full detail these objects which floated atop the
sea. Water soon began boiling in a noisy manner like a roar. A reddish vapor
resulted from this effect of heat on the sea.
From
one of the crafts, two humanlike figures came out; they were described as
having "large heads and shiny eyes." They were dressed in some sort
of red and silvery suits and were linked to the vessel by some sort of tube.
The beings did some tasks during a few hours, and dived in the water to waist
level while their arms were maintaining vertically two tubes linked to some
kind of belt they were wearing.
For two
hours the three crafts maintained their position.
The entities came back around 10 PM and all crafts disappeared
in a few seconds noisily to the east. (No details were given as to whether
they departed via sea or air.)
The Nicois believed God had send them a sign and spent all
night till dawn of August 6th praying in all churches of the City.
