Initial data
During the siege of Sigiburg Castle in France, a group of UFOs was spotted. The Saxons surrounded and besieged the French. They were fighting when suddenly a group of flying disks (flaming shields) appeared above the roof of the church.
It seemed to the Saxons as if this heavenly host had come to the aid of the French and they fled, retreating from the besieged castle.
There is an illustration of what happened in the 12th century manuscript "Annales Laurissenses" (books of historical and religious events). The objects depicted in the sky are real "flying saucers" with many portholes on the sides.
In the Annales Laurissenses this event is described as follows:
"... and on the same day when they (the Saxons) were preparing for a new attack on the Christians who lived in the castle, thank God a miraculous sign appeared over the church inside the fortress. Those watching on the square and outside - many of whom are still alive today - saw something resembling two large flaming reddish-colored shields moving over the church itself."
Hypotheses
Halo
Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.
Meteor
Meteor, "shooting star" is a phenomenon that occurs when small meteor bodies (for example, fragments of comets or asteroids) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. A similar phenomenon of greater intensity (brighter than magnitude -4) it's called a fireball.
Mirage
Optical phenomenon in which the air in the result of the refraction of light rays in addition to items in their true position, see their virtual images in the direct, inverted or severely distorted.
Distinguish mirages:
- lower
- top
- side
Inferior Mirage occurs when a large vertical temperature gradient (drop it with the height) over a superheated flat surface, often desert or paved road. Usually this "puddle" on asphalte or sand.
Cloud (natural and man-made)
Clouds are the products of condensation of water vapor suspended in the atmosphere, visible in the sky from the surface of the earth. They consist of tiny drops of water and/or ice crystals (called cloud elements).
