UFO's in art history

[sleepboy]

So.... Been trying to watch all the episodes of X-files recently and this reminded me of a link that ashul007 sent me recently. It talks about UFO's seen in paintings as early as the 16th century. I wonder why someone in those times would go to the trouble to paint a hoax into a painting... Without airplanes, weather balloons, etc in those days, what else could it be if it was a real sighting? Maybe the paintings are fakes? LOL. Maybe this belongs in the Kitchen Sink but just something I found interesting.

Speaking of UFOs, did anybody see this painting at the Banksy's Barely Legal show in L.A....

Pretty cool juju and thanks for the link to that website ritey, some pretty interesting stuff. I guess UFO's appear in every culture every era. Makes me think they are more real unless these supposedly artworks were altered and fakes themselves.

I was intrigued by this topic and did a little digging and found this

It's not all in english but the person seemed to have done some research.

Yeah, I was kinda reluctant to post it (didn't want to spoil anyones fun). But the guy did do a lot of work and I found it very informative.
