England, location unknown — 25 December 1167
Two objects
Two “stars” appear on Christmas Day. The actual quote is from Nicholas Trivetus (Annales): “At the watch night (vigilia) of the Lord’s Nativity, two fiery stars appeared in the western sky. One was large, the other small. At first, they appeared joined together. Afterwards, they were for a long time separated distinctly.” It is probable, but not certain? that the sighting was made in England.
