A Strange UFO Attack Case from the 17th Century

The modern UFO phenomenon is often said to have started in the 1940s, and it is from here that tales of aliens and flying saucers really took off in a wave that swept around the world. Yet, accounts of something strange in our skies go back for centuries, often finding themselves falling between the cracks to lodge themselves into the dark shadows of history to be overshadowed by other more mainstream events. One such account supposedly occured in Russia back in the 17th century, and it involves a mass sighting of strange things in the heavens, and possibly a UFO attack.
