Did Ancient Romans See UFOs in the Sky? & Origin of Antikythera Mechanism [Live – 6:00 p.m. ET]

Did the ancient Greeks witness otherworldly visitors in the skies? From fiery shields and strange lights reported by historians to accounts of celestial battles and mysterious metallic objects hovering above battlefields, the classical world was filled with sky phenomena that sound eerily like modern UFO sightings.

At the heart of this mystery lies the Antikythera Mechanism—a shoebox-sized bronze device from around 100 BC, packed with over 30 intricate gears capable of predicting eclipses, planetary motions, Olympic games, and lunar phases with astonishing precision.

Discovered in a shipwreck, this “first analog computer” was far ahead of its time, with engineering not rivaled for over a thousand years.

Was this sophisticated knowledge inspired by observation of the stars alone, or something more? Join us on this Weirdest News in History as we explore whether the Greeks’ celestial wonders were divine, extraterrestrial, or the pinnacle of lost human genius.
