Hertford, England — 11 October 1660
Flying circle with appendages
A person of very good note and credit awoke at 4 A.M. to see “a flashing like fire against his window, and fearing some house near him had been on fire, he immediately arose and went to the window.” He saw a large object with a circle around it, and two appendages above and below it, from which great flashes were indeed emitted. This object remained in view for several hours, and was observed by others in the town.
