"The term "UFO" did not exist for most of history. Neither did the modern concept of extraterrestrial visitation. Observers described what they saw using the language and cultural frameworks available to them: shields, ships, wheels, fiery globes, crosses, dragons, celestial armies."

A Sky Older Than Flight
A Historical Study of Aerial and Maritime Anomalies Before Aviation
Centuries before powered flight, people were recording something in the sky. This book examines the historical evidence — ship logs, clergy records, and first-hand testimony — with rigour and without sensationalism.

"This book is not about radar tracks, jet interceptions, or classified aerospace programs. It is about something more foundational: what people reported seeing in the sky — and sometimes in the sea — before human flight existed at all."
"Some of these reports are readily explained today. Meteors, comets, atmospheric optics, aurorae, seismic lights, birds, and human misperception all shaped historical accounts."
About
Andrew Rogers
Andrew Rogers is a UK-based software engineer and researcher with a long-standing interest in unexplained phenomena. His technical background shapes his approach — methodical, evidence-led, and sceptical of easy answers.
He writes about the cases and records that history struggled to explain — drawing on primary sources, documented testimony, and rigorous cross-referencing rather than speculation.
His first book, A Sky Older Than Flight, examines aerial and maritime anomalies reported before the age of aviation.
