The two oldest UFO reports from Romania  

 "Year 7025 (1517) November 8, great sign was shown on the sky, because it was glowing from the north like a human face, and rested for a long time and again hided itself in the air"

The text is from the "Moldavian Yearbook" (Letopisetul Moldovenesc), reproduced in the paper "Could they be Flying Saucers?" in „Historic Magazine" 12/1968 (in original: „Să fi fost oare farfurii zburătoare?”, Dalila-Lucia Aramă ,  paleograf principal la cabinetul de manuscrise al Bibliotecii Academiei Române, Magazin Istoric 12/1968). „Historic Magazine" is a popular but very serious historical monthly in Romania . This was the only paper dedicated to UFOs, in more than 40 years, in this magazine, probably due the fact that in 1968 some dramatic UFO sightings, well represented in media, were reported in Romania .

 In 15 October 1595, when the Valachian prince Michel the Brave besieged the city of Targoviste, the capital of Valachia, temporarily occupied by Turks, above the military camp "a large comet appeared" and rested for two hours (according to an Italian report of the facts, redacted in Prague). After three days the Turks were defeated. As no astronomic record mentions a comet for this day, the sighting was accepted as unidentified.

from two independent contemporary documents, reproduced in the book: Călin N. Turcu, Enciclopedia observațiilor O.Z.N. din România (1517-1994), Ed. Emanuel, București, 1994, p.3.
