Many things shocked John and I as we were finishing Stars That Pause: 2,000 Years of UFO Encounters & Lore, but the sheer number of classical accounts that match up to anonymous experiences today is wild!

My friend’s summer house bordered Pishe Lake. One evening, the object rose from the water and drifted toward him. When close, its outer shell opened and a horizontal ray of light shot out, pulsing from gold to silver white. It was so dazzling that my friend could only look at it from the side.

Between the years of 1056 and 1063, a flying object—round and shiny like a pearl—came to Yangzhou City and was seen by many. It flew at night and retreated to local waters during day. First at Tianchang County Marsh and later in both Pishe and Xinkai Lake.

The Feather Detective: How Roxie Laybourne Pioneered Forensic Ornithology
You wouldn’t know it, looking at the tiny elderly woman in the white lab coat bent over a table in a halogen-lit government office, you wouldn’t know she had spent her youth doing science with her whole body: extracting herself from a deadly mudflat with stubbornness and applied physics; narrowly escaping permanent tendon damage after severe sunburn on the tops of her feet during a daylong barefoot tide pool expedition; managing to return ashore by manually rigging a rudder after her boat’s steering apparatus had broken and left her stranded in the open ocean; surviving blood poisoning in the pre-penicillin… read article
