UFOs in Antiquity

A NASA astronomer published this interesting paper on unidentified aerial objects reported in antiquity in a Classics journal:

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY*
Richard B. Stothers

Abstract: A combined historical and scientific approach is applied to ancient reports of what might today be called unidentified flying objects(UFOs). Many conventionally explicable phenomena can be weeded out, leaving a small residue of puzzling reports. These fall neatly into the same categories as modern UFO reports, suggesting that the UFO phenomenon, whatever it may be due to, has not changed much over two millennia.

I seem to have posted this in the wrong forum section. If a moderator wants to move it to another section I would appreciate it. The list of forum sections is unreadable with my connection.
