Here are a fifteen more really short UFO sightings from 1871 AD until 1895 AD. Around the world, people were having close encounters that you would immediately know to be modern UFOs.

---

1)

The date was August 1st, 1871. The place, Marseilles, France.

Hovering over Marseilles for close to nine minutes, an incredibly large saucer moved to the north then to the east criss-crossing the skies over the city. Observers kept the craft in view until a little after 11:00pm whereupon the object vanished.

---

2)

The date was August 29th, 1871. The place, Meudon, France.

At the Meudon Observatory, an astronomer watched many luminous objects careen through the night sky. One floated to the Earth and landed "like a disc falling through water."

---

3)

The date was July 6th, 1874. The place, Oaxaca, Mexico.

A huge, trumpet shaped UFO, 400ft in length, hovered over the Mexican metropolis of Oaxaca for almost six minutes. People stared up at the object fearing it was an omen of doom.

---

4)

The date was March 23rd, 1877. The place, Vence, France.

An unknown observer wrote, "fiery spheres, extremely luminous, came out of a cloud of a peculiar shape and went slowly toward the north for one hour." It seems many brightly lit shapes emerged from a cloud shaped like a cigar.

---

5)

The date was October, 1877. The place, Wales, United Kingdom.

Formations of UFOs were observed flying over the Welsh coast for as much as a week. Eight craft would appear and fly in a triangle configuration almost as if on a reconnaissance mission.

---

6)

The date was January 24th, 1878. The place, Denison, Texas.

After a hard working day Texas pioneer John Martin peered up into the sky to check the time by the sun. Instead, his eye caught sight of a disc-shaped object flying over the Texas plains. He described the craft as a "saucer," and found that it moved "at a wonderful speed."

---

7)

The date was July, 1878. The place, Michigan, USA.

Several members of a dinner party observed a luminous object about 300 yards in length hovering above the skyline. It was described as very beautiful with the color of a red-hot stove.

---

8)

The date was May 15th, 1879. The place, Persian Gulf.

MV Vultur's crew were startled by two extremely bright "wheels" of light that alternately hovered and swooped low above the surface of the sea. After their pattern reached a climax, the craft both disappeared.

---

9)

The date was April 15th, 1883. The place, Marseilles, France.

The busy people of Marseilles stopped working for a moment to watch many formations of disc-shaped objects cross overhead in the sky.

---

10)

The date was August 12th, 1883. The place, Mexico.

Astronomer Jose Bonilla, at Zacatecas Observatory, photographed formations of 15 to 20 disc-shaped objects crossing the face of the sun.

---

11)

The date was November 1st, 1885. The place, Adrianople, Turkey.

"On November 1, at 9:30pm, there was seen, west of Adrianople, an elongated object giving off a strong luminosity. It seemed to float in the air and its apparent disc was four or five times larger than the full moon. It traveled slowly and cast light on the whole camp behind the station with a brightness about 10 times greater than a large electric bulb. In the morning of November 2, at dawn, a very luminous flame, first bluish, then greenish, and moving at a height of five to six meters, made a series of turns around the ferryboat pier at Scutari. Its blinding luminosity lighted the street and flooded the inside of the houses with light. The meteor was visible for one minute and a half and finally fell into the sea. No noise was heard when the immersion took place," M. Mavrogordato wrote in "L'Astronomie."

---

12)

The date was November 12th, 1887. The place, North Atlantic Ocean.

A ship crossing the Atlantic, en route to America, was overflown by a luminous sphere that emerged from the ocean. It flew against the prevailing wind alongside the ship, but, as suddenly as it had appeared, it ascended into the night sky.

---

13)

The date was January 8th, 1888. The place, Ragusa, Italy.

According to the memoirs of the Minor Brothers, several lines of bright spheres were observed flying through the night sky.

---

14)

The date was August 31st, 1895. The place, Oxford, United Kingdom.

Students at a men's college watched as a metallic disc rose above the trees lining the campus. After a few seconds of stable hovering, the disc shot off at incredible speed towards the east.

---

15)

The year was 1895. The place, United Kingdom.

Country folk in the green hills of England found themselves transfixed by a luminous, star-like object that rose over a forest and moved off to the east at high speed.

--------------------------------

My Take: I realize that these incidents are very vague with no names and not very many details, but it is interesting to see that numerous people from around the world and no possible connection to each other were seeing UFOs long before anyone knew what they were.
