London, England — September 1660

Multiple unknown lights

“A gentleman of good quality and an Officer of Eminency in the late King’s army and now a Justice of the Peace in the Country” reported seeing a bright light in the Southwest, along with six smaller ones. “Whilst he with several others, were with some admiration beholding them, they all fell down perpendicularly and vanished.”
