Quintus Curtius Rufus, Historiarum Alexandri Magni 4.3.25–26
English translation from Latin (John C. Rolfe, Loeb Classical Library):
Moreover, the Tyrians heated brazen shields in a great fire, and after filling them with hot sand and boiling filth hurled them down from the walls.
And no plague was more feared than this; for when the burning-hot sand had made its way between the coat-of-mail and the body, it could not be shaken out by any effort and burned through whatever it had touched; and the soldiers, throwing away their arms and tearing to bits everything by which they could be protected, were exposed to wounds without being able to retaliate.This appears in the context of other Tyrian defensive measures (beams with hooks/scythes, grappling irons, etc.) while Alexander’s forces were pressing the siege from ships and the mole.
Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 17.44.1–3
Diodorus gives a closely parallel account (Greek original available in standard editions such as the Loeb or Perseus; English translation by C. H. Oldfather):
They thought of another ingenious device also to offset the Macedonian fighting qualities, by which they involved the bravest of the enemy in a horrible torment which could not be avoided.
They fashioned shields of bronze and iron and, filling them with sand, roasted them continuously over a strong fire and made the sand red hot.
By means of a certain apparatus they then scattered this over those Macedonians who were fighting most boldly and brought those within its range into utter misery.
The sand sifted down under breastplates and shirts, and scorching the skin with the intense heat inflicted upon them irremediable disaster.
They shrieked supplications like those under torture and there was no one to help them, but with the excruciating agony they fell into madness and died, the victims of a pitiable and helpless lot.
Diodorus places this among other inventive Tyrian countermeasures (tridents that hooked shields, nets, fire, etc.).

The event was later recalled by Frank Edwards (1959) and Alberto Fenoglio (1966), but they never shared any valid sources for the following claims.
---
Frank Edwards (1959)
In Stranger Than Science (Lyle Stuart, 1959), in the chapter “Spies in the Skies,” Edwards wrote:
Alexander the Great was not the first to see them nor was he the first to find them troublesome. He tells of two strange craft that dived repeatedly at his army until the war elephants, the men, and the horses all panicked and refused to cross the river where the incident occurred. What did the things look like? His historian describes them as great shining silvery shields, spitting fire around the rims… things that came from the skies and returned to the skies.
Edwards provides no citation—no ancient historian, no text, no page reference, nothing. He simply attributes it to “his historian.” This is the earliest known appearance of the claim. Subsequent researchers (including Yannis Deliyannis in 2009 and Spencer McDaniel in 2021) have found no matching account in any ancient or medieval source.
Alberto Fenoglio (1966)
In the Italian UFO periodical Clypeus (vol. 9, 1st semester 1966, p. 7), in the article “Cronistoria su oggetti volanti del passato – Appunti per una clipeostoria,” Fenoglio gave an expanded version set at the siege of Tyre (332 BC). He claimed five “flying shields” appeared in triangular formation, and the largest fired a “lightning-flash” that destroyed the walls.
The only source he mentioned was the 19th-century German historian Johann Gustav Droysen (Geschichte Alexanders des Grossen, 1833). Fenoglio wrote that Droysen “does not cite it intentionally, believing it to be a fantasy of the Macedonian soldiers.” In other words, Fenoglio explicitly admitted that his cited modern historian does not contain the story.
No such passage exists in Droysen’s work (which describes the siege in conventional terms: catapults, engineering, and the eventual collapse of a section of wall). Fenoglio also referred to an “unknown chronicler” but named no one. The account was later popularized in English by W. R. Drake in Gods and Spacemen in Ancient Greece and Rome (1967).
