Strange objects fly over
A rod and a cross appeared in the sky at 3 P.M., with a bird-like object above them. The weather was clear and the sky was calm. The objects were seen for three days. The event is depicted in a German broadsheet in the Johann Jacob Wick’s collection, held by the Zurich Zentralbibliothek.
