I literally don’t card if you or anyone else challenges me. It’s just opinions and ideas. Mine are as valid as yours and yours as valid as mine.

No that's you, I did not have that impression and certainly wasn't being aggressive towards you.
However I won't let you put theories in my mouth. You act like I defend the UFO theory when it should be obvious I am weighting the evidence and have no conclusion yet.
You just don't like it I challenged your mind time travel input, but I did so in an educated and friendly manner. If you do not want to discuss then simply ignore me and all is good.
To make it clear: You started the blackforest UFO claim and asked me about evidence for it. I told you I never claimed that, and therefor I have zero interest digging something up for you. That's not aggressive. That's telling you I won't start digging for claims you said I made, but I never made them. That's kind of a very silly request, don't you agree?
It's like me saying then please provide evidence for Hitler having four legs but you never claimed it. Then you tell me you won't because it's just crazy and I would accuse you of being agressive.
Hope you got it
I'm not trying to argue that Northern lights may or may not have been involved, I have no idea about that.

This print shows October 5, 1591. Maybe the northern lights are possible at this time. But on April 4 - I don't think so.
You mean there have been stories told by people who perhaps had difficulty interpreting what they saw. But we have plenty of examples to illustrate that it's unwise to take extraordinary stories at face value. One example: this UFO seen by 30 witnesses was finally identified, and taught us that taking stories at face value is not a valid scientific approach, because what the witnesses thought was a close encounter, was not really a close encounter. There are plenty more examples like this.

But I do know that solar flares can cause northern lights to temporarily appear at latitudes lower than where they normally appear. Smaller solar flares can cause smaller displacements, larger solar flares can produce larger displacements of aurorae. For an extreme example of the latter, Mexican newspapers reported seeing the "northern lights" in Mexico in 1859 when ordinarily they never see northern lights in Mexico.
As others have already said, the strict accuracy of the report may be questionable, and the interpretation seems biased to think in military terms of some battle, but I don't think we can rule out some kind of natural phenomenon, though without better information, it's hard to say exactly what it may have been.

You're certainly entitled to your opinions about time travel, but from a scientific perspective, time travel explanations are more extraordinary than most other explanations which don't involve time travel, and as the saying goes, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which stories are not.

I do believe time slips and glimpses of past and future are possible. I think it is equally unwise to dismiss people’s experiences of strange events as without scientific rigor how could we be sure either way.

Yes. Exactly. A flash forward if you will. Heavy bombers looked a lot like crosses in the sky. AA bursts a lots like circles. Any more of a stretch than considering it an alien battle? a reply to: Vasa Croe

But we don't know how to navigate the fabric of time. If time is the constant application of physical laws and the input on it, thus making us experience change and in combination with our memory as events in a chronic order, a lot of predetermined, unchangeable outcomes had to happen at that moment in time to even be able to experience the right kind of future, to compare it with bombers from WW2.

So it’s one of three things only. Natural phenomena - possible. Aliens having a fall out - possible but significantly unlikely in my opinion. Or a glimpse of the future, which fits well - again, in MY opinion.

my personal belief is that as long as there has been stars in the sky, there has been war among civilizations unknown. I’ll leave it at that...
