Switzerland

One of the first cases of diurnal phenomena known in history and still unexplained is recorded in an engraving of the XVI century, in the chronicle of Samuel Coccius, an engraving depicting the appearance in the sky of the Swiss city of Basel, in 1566, of some "large, white and black spheres, some turning red and fiery." Spheres that worried the inhabitants of those times.
