Turkey UFO Sightings
1885-11-01; 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."
