The Augsburg Book of Miracles
Around 1552, an Augsburg workshop painted a picture book of 167 wonders: comets, fiery skies, rains of blood and crosses, floods and apocalyptic visions.

The account
Rediscovered and published in 2013, the manuscript is often reproduced for its striking images of 'sky objects', which UFO websites sometimes claim as evidence.
The sceptical view
The book copies earlier chronicles and the Bible; its images are religious and symbolic, not eyewitness drawings.
