Although there is some discrepancy concerning the date, I was intrigued to learn that colonists in America did report seeing what we would now call a UFO. On this date (or thereabouts) in 1639, Governor John Winthrop reported being amongst three friends who together sighted strange lights on the Muddy River in Boston.  Were they UFO’s? The world may never know.
