Agobard, Archbishop of Lyon "... wrote that in 840 he saw a crowd in Lyon killing 3 men and one woman accused of getting off an airship that arrived from the aerial country of Magonia.

The decrees of Kings Pepin the Short, Charlemagne, and Louis I the Good mention punishments against those who travel by airships. Agobard... (tried) to free three men and a woman accused by the mob of being agents of Grimoaldo, Duke of Benevento and arrived to destroy the harvest. In the manuscript of Agobard, kept in the National Library, it is mentioned. that the astronauts captured in Lyon were, apparently, foreigners, and that "these unfortunate people were accused of witchcraft." The mob killed them and the bodies were thrown into the river."

Original news

Ahora bien, hemos visto y oído a muchos abrumados por tanta demencia, alienados por tanta estupidez, que creen y dicen que existe una determinada región, que llaman Magonia, de la que vienen naves sobre las nubes; los frutos que caen por el granizo y que se pierden por las tempestades son llevados en ellas a esta misma región; evidentemente, los navegantes aéreos dan regalos a los tempestarios y reciben a cambio los granos y el resto de frutos. Asimismo, se hallan cegados por tan profunda necedad, al creer que esto puede realizarse, que hemos visto a varios en una cierta asamblea de hombres exhibir a cuatro personas atadas, tres hombres y una mujer, como si hubieran caído de estas mismas naves. Por supuesto, tras estar detenidos con cadenas durante algunos días, finalmente, reunida la asamblea de hombres, los mostraron, como he dicho, ante nuestra presencia como para lapidarlos. Pero sin embargo, vencedora la verdad tras mucho razonamiento, estos mismos que los exhibían, según el texto profético, están confusos, como el ladrón se turba cuando es sorprendido.

Hypotheses

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

The mentioned book "Drake, W. Raymond Gods and Spacemen in the middle ages" could not be found.

*Magonia is a legendary city of medieval folklore . This name was given to the kingdom of clouds, from which the criminal air sailors are said to have come, according to generally accepted beliefs condemned in a controversial 815 treatise by the Carolingian Bishop Agobard Lyon, where he speaks out against climate magic. The treatise is called De Grandine et Tonitruis ("On Hail and Thunder").

We also managed to find this treatise and this fragment in it (see the original text).
