Alexander the Great's Aerial Encounters with Silver Shields During Campaigns. Alexander's army witnessed two enormous shining metallic discs described as silver shields Event occurred during return from defeating King Porus of India near a river crossing Objects descended toward Macedonian forces, terrifying war elephants and horses
Ancient accounts describe Alexander the Great's army encountering enormous metallic discs described as silver shields. Near the crossing after defeating King Porus of India, descending objects terrified war elephants and horses. During the 332 BCE siege of Tyre, flying shields appeared in triangular formation — one large and four smaller. A beam from the largest allegedly struck the walls, causing them to crumble. These accounts were analyzed in a 2007 study 'Unidentified Flying Objects in Classical Antiquity.' The consistency and geographic spread of these reports across Alexander's campaigns makes them particularly interesting to researchers studying historical aerial phenomena.
