Ancient UFOs? Roman Flying Shields & the Phoenix Lights

In 214 BC, Roman historians described “flying shields” blazing across the sky — strange objects that terrified soldiers and citizens alike. Nearly 2,000 years later, in 1997, thousands of witnesses reported a massive, silent craft over Phoenix, Arizona. Known today as the Phoenix Lights UFO sighting, it remains one of the most famous mass UFO encounters in modern history.

Two events. Centuries apart. Yet the descriptions are eerily similar. Could the flying shields of Ancient Rome and the Phoenix Lights UFOs be the same phenomenon? Or are we seeing history repeat itself, with humanity encountering the same visitors again and again?

In this episode of Fireside Mysteries, we investigate the parallels between ancient UFO sightings and modern UAP encounters. From eyewitness testimony in ancient texts to military reports and declassified UFO files, we ask whether civilizations separated by thousands of years were seeing the exact same technology.

👉 What do you think? Were the Phoenix Lights a modern version of Rome’s flying shields — or are we just projecting myths onto unexplained events? Share your theory in the comments.

About the Podcast

Fireside Mysteries - Dark Vault
Fireside Mysteries explores UFOs, UAPs, cryptids, conspiracies, and paranormal events—connecting history’s strangest cases with today’s unexplained encounters.
Welcome to Fireside Mysteries, the podcast that pulls you into the world of UFOs, UAPs, paranormal events, cryptids, conspiracies, and forbidden history. Each week, we dive deep into the cases that blur the line between fact and the unexplained — from legendary UFO sightings and alien abduction stories to haunted encounters, government cover-ups, and the mysteries of lost civilizations.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the Battle of Los Angeles UFO incident connects to the Pentagon’s UAP videos, or if the Mothman Prophecy was a warning from something beyond human understanding, this is the podcast for you. We bring together ancient astronaut theories, modern UFO disclosure, and timeless paranormal tales into a narrative that’s equal parts investigative, skeptical, and open to possibilities.

🔥 What you’ll hear on Fireside Mysteries:

UFO sightings, alien abduction accounts, and government secrecy surrounding disclosure.

Paranormal investigations into ghosts, hauntings, and supernatural phenomena.
Cryptid legends like Bigfoot, Mothman, and other creatures of folklore and eyewitness reports.

Conspiracy theories that connect history’s strangest events with today’s headlines.
Ancient mysteries and “forbidden history” — from lost civilizations to OOPARTs like the Antikythera Mechanism.

🎙 Why Fireside Mysteries?
We’re more than just a paranormal podcast. Each episode blends history, first-hand testimony, declassified files, and cultural myths with fresh research and thoughtful storytelling. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or someone who just loves a good mystery, our goal is to give you the evidence, the theories, and the unanswered questions — and let you decide.

From the Travis Walton abduction to the Phoenix Lights, from cryptid encounters in the woods to whispers of government cover-ups, Fireside Mysteries takes you on a journey through the unexplained. Along the way, we ask the questions most podcasts avoid: What if the official story is wrong? What if we’ve seen the same visitors for centuries? And what if the truth has been hidden in plain sight?

Join the growing community of listeners who crave more than just stories — they want connection, curiosity, and conversation. After each episode, we invite you to weigh in, share your theories, and become part of the discussion.
