On September 22 (August 25 according to the lunar calendar), 1609, which was the first year of the reign of King Kwanghegong, throughout the day people throughout the kingdom observed numerous "anomalous air phenomena".

Time: 午時 (11 am ~ 01 pm)


In Yangyang, Gangwon Province:


Moon-wee Kim, an official, saw a shiny round object, similar to a washbasin, floating in the air in the middle of the garden of his house. His movement at first was as if he was about to fall to the ground, but soon he rose up by about one zhang (10' or 3 meters), as if there was some qi (energy) in the air.


The object was about the size of an armful and about half a saw (3' or 1 m) long, white on the east side, glowing blue in the center and red on the west side. When Kim looked at him, he began to fold in the form of a rainbow, resembling a folded flag.


Then it began to rise up and halfway in the air turned red from all sides: the upper part of the head was pointed, and the lower roots were cut off. Immediately, it moved slightly to the north and turned into white clouds that were transparent and beautiful to look at. Then it flew up into the sky very quickly, as if attracted to him, and crashed into the sky, as if spitting out energy.


Suddenly it split into two parts in the middle, one flew to the southeast and disappeared like smoke, and the other remained floating in place, but in shape resembled a square pillow. After a while, there were a few thunderous sounds, and then a sound like rolling stones and drumming, and after a while everything stopped.
