An Historical Account of Orb UFOs in 1840 Austria!. An Austrian Spectacle from December 26, 1840 captivated people in this central European country and has never satisfactorily been explained. The Mutual UFO Network, also known by its acronym, MUFON, researches not only current cases submitted by witnesses for our trained Field Investigators to thoroughly delve into looking for answers, but we also take deep dives into historical events found in old newspapers and paintings to see if we can discover a possible resolution - be it something mundane and explainable or something anomalous defying logical conclusions. This is one such case MUFON investigated from the nineteenth century.
