Indeed it would be very strange if nobody else reported phenomena of this (reported) intensity. But all I've ever heard about are NG and the a posteriori Glaser's woodcut. Perhaps German UFO proponents should stop watching U-t00b for evidence for a while and go hang out in the old newspaper archivesI wanna say: this seems to be heavy stuff - and it would be interesting, what other chronicles of and around Nuremberg would have to say about April,14th 1561. There are tons of paper in the archives here in Germany from this era, well-documented times. There must be more than Glaser's report and woodcut. But it would be a hard task for trained professionals only. Let me tell you, that there is another woodcut in Glaser's series for March 1561, where he reports about strange lights around the moon (the UFO fleets leaving their bases).
Thx, I think I got the gist of itSo, here is my (I think reasonable, but not watertight) "translation"
The early part of the phenomenon does decidedly bring to mind sundogs which has been suggested to much boo-booing by the extraterrestrial hypothesis proponents. I do believe they aren't necessarily visible over a very wide area but still there should be more references to such spectacular show in the sky.
This is in fact more interesting than perhaps is readily apparent. It might be worth looking into if there was something particular going on in the atmo for example in the spring of 1561 that might have resulted in more than usual amount of halo phenomena.there is a hint by Hans Glaser, that the "signs" in the sky were significant in quality and numbers in the recent time.
Or, it could just be the inherent Christian millenialism we've been having perhaps a bit too much fun of hereabout of late
