The ancient Egyptians left behind many records and images in temples. Of particular value are papyri that tell about past events. In this regard, the Tully papyrus is considered a real treasure for ufologists, as it can tell about the observation of UFOs.
In 1933, the director of the Egyptian branch of the Vatican Museum, Alberto Tully, was walking in the local market in Cairo. In one of the antique shops, he found an unusual papyrus with hieroglyphs. Tully realized that he had come across an ancient relic. However, the shopkeeper demanded too high a price, so that Tully could not buy the papyrus. But he was allowed to make a copy (perhaps this service was also paid).
For translation Tully turned to Boris Rachevilts, who wrote several books on the life and art of the Egyptians. It turned out that we have before us a really valuable relic, since it was created during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. That is, the document itself dates back to around 1480 BC.

But more surprised by the translation, which described an unusual atmospheric phenomenon. However, ufologists considered this allusion to the sighting of UFOs and aliens. The text said that in the "22nd year" a huge fireball appeared in the sky, which did not make sounds. It stretched 46 m in length and flew past the palace. The scribes immediately told everything to Pharaoh, and he ordered to keep an eye on the ball.
A few days later, the sky was filled with balloons. Moreover, the author writes that in terms of brightness they exceeded sunlight. Objects moved completely quietly, but freely in all directions. Then they withdrew to the south, and "fish and birds began to fall from the sky."

When they found out about this story, many believed that the papyrus described only a meteorological phenomenon. But the point is that the ancient Egyptians recorded the lunar phases, the movement of stars, the flights of comets and meteorites. Ufologists are convinced that they could distinguish a cosmic phenomenon from an alien invasion.

However, it is pointless to argue in this matter. It would be more logical to verify the authenticity of the papyrus itself. But the problem is that scientists could only view the copies of the copy, not the original itself. If you evaluate the translation, it is accurate. However, the antique shop with the original was not found, and after Tully's death a copy of the document also disappeared.
Since he worked in the Vatican Museum, there were suspicions that the copy was simply destroyed or hidden in order to hide information about the arrival of aliens. The Vatican says they have nothing. It's hard to believe here, however, as they keep outsiders out of their secret archives and prefer to keep priceless ancient manuscripts out of the reach of human eyes.

If it's a fake, it should have been written by a professional. Some believe that this is the work of the translator. However, Racheviltz was considered a respected scientist who was foolish to risk his own name for the sake of a second and very dubious fame.
It turns out that there is no copy and original on hand. There are only guesses, rumors and suspicions. If such a document really existed / exists, then it describes one of the earliest examples of UFO sightings or some unusual cosmic phenomenon that may also be of interest to scientists.
