Kunstbibliothek shows “UFO 1665. Die Luftschlacht von Stralsund”
In April 1665, six fishermen became eyewitnesses to an inexplicable celestial phenomenon – an aerial battle over the Baltic Sea near Stralsund, towards evening a dark grey disc appeared over the middle of the town. “UFO 1665” is the first exhibition on this historical UFO sighting. Using contemporary image and text sources, it reconstructs the media career of the event and reveals thought patterns and communication strategies that still determine reporting on “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAPs) today.
