Spacecraft in 14th Century Frescoes

And other art historical places as well.

The Babtism of Christ
Everybody knows, I suppose, that UFOs have been around for a long time. However, the "space craft" in the frescoes are more likely depictions of the sun and the moon. It has also been pointed out elsewhere that there were periods when the church, for theological reasons, looked down on physical depiction of angels, God and or the holy spirit, favoring more symbolic ways of showing angelic presence. That probably accounts for the rest of the UFOs. Then again, a certain somebody has been up to some various time travel experiments of late.
