some repetition here but I like the japanese one, it's very odd.



This is a very interesting UFO painting from Haratonohama, Hitachi, Japan in 1803. There was a book written about it Ume No Chiri that said "foreign ship and crew" was spotted on the shore of Haratonohama, Hitachi, Japan and that the ship was made of metal and glass with strange writings on it. This is the artists rendition of the flying saucer resembling space ship.


It was supposedly seen on a beach and assumed to be a ship of some sort.

Wouldn't this thing be an unidentified floating object? If (big "if") there was anything there except a wild tale, maybe it was a sighting of, or inspired by, a Korean turtle ship, perhaps shipwrecked and dismasted by a storm?

OFFC.....

At last. The proof I have been anxiously awaiting for years! UFO's in ancient times. This will bring those damn cynics around!

And not even Mooner would dare photoshop Aert De Gelder, Masolino Da Panicale, or Domenico Ghirlandaio! The blasphemy of the idea!

Seriously I think a few of these images probably deserve some serious debunking simply because they do look a little suggestive of strange or unusual things in the sky (and elsewhere) that apparently caught the attention of ancient painters or sculptors.

I would very much appreciate Marfknox's comments on these works of art. Are they in fact genuine unretouched representations of the originals? And if so, what are art experts (of which Marf is certainly well qualified to represent) views of what these odd-looking objects might be intended to represent in the vision of the artist?

Marf, are you lurking, and if so, would you comment on these artifacts and what they might represent?

It all smells of Erich von Däniken.

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson
