Dome-Shaped Orange Disk Sickens Fishermen Over Barhöved, Germany (1665)
On April 8, 1665, near Barhöved (in the vicinity of Stralsund, on the Baltic Sea coast of northern Germany), a group of fishermen reported witnessing a remarkable aerial phenomenon.
Narration
Over the Baltic coast a single orange dome-shaped disk hung completely motionless.
April 1665 — six fishermen worked the cold Baltic shoreline near Barhöved at midday.
Six fishermen stared north as the orange disk overwhelmed them, forcing faces into hands.
The orange plate-shaped disk blazed over walled Stralsund, radiating an unearthly lunar glow.
Colonel von der Wegck and Doctor Gessman interrogated the fishermen, recording testimony by candlelight.
Days later the fishermen trembled with pain — the orange disk had vanished over the Baltic.
