So it does. Managed to overlook the most obvious somehow. I seem to recall a bigger and hence more legible versio tho but maybe that's just imagination.

Now all we need is somebody who is somewhat more versed than me or you in the old German -- I only understand random words of German really

Googling "Nuremberg Gazette" comes up with pages of UFO stuff, mostly copy-pasta of the same words, but no references to the incident that I can see from any "authoritative" source

Well, yes that would be one problem with trawling for info on this.

There is also the aspect apparently rarely considered that such an impressive aerial display should presumably have been visible from fairly far off... Why does it look like the only source from immediately after the fact appears to be NG?
