Nuremberg, 1561, by Hans Glaser
While it would seems as if there's at least a kernel of truth in both camps; what we're focusing on here is a fascinating, and oft neglected, footnote to the sky ship mystery.

Sightings of what our ancestors often referred t as "sky ships" or "cloud ships" have been occurring since the dawn of recorded history. Alexander the Great and his vast army allegedly observed three soaring discs, which were described as "shining silvery shields, spitting fire around the rims," during the siege of Tyre in 329 BC. These "shields" were said to have annihilated a stone wall with a lightening-like beam weapon.

According to reports, just after dawn broke that April morning, hundreds of German citizens beheld a spectacle the likes of which the Earth has rarely (if ever) seen when what was described as a "war in the heavens" took place in the skies above their fair city. The woodcut included images of cylindrical mother ships emitting spherical attack "pods," a gargantuan, spear-like vessel and even seemed to indicate a pair of decidedly pre-Roswell UFO crashes.
As frequent as UFO sightings have been through the ages, it could be argued that the sky ship frenzy didn't peak until the late 1800s, when newspapers throughout the world were infested with accounts of anomalous, self illuminated, intelligently controlled aircraft navigating American airspace at rates of speed that were, at the time, unfathomable....
