UFOs in art?
There are a number of websites out there that show some very odd, alien-looking objects in history. From the famous futuristic Egyptian carvings to flying saucers depicted on coins, they provide food for thought and, for some, “proof” that we have been visited by extra terrestrials for quite some time.
Here are a few interesting paintings that show “unusual” objects.
The Annunciation with Saint Emidius by Carlo Crivelli (look closely at the disc shining the light down on Mary)

This next one is even stranger. What the object is I really don’t know, but the painting was done in 1600 and can still be seen in the San Lorenzo church in San Pietro, Montalcino, Italy. It looks uncannily like Sputnik, yet either side of it are seated God and His son.
The object in the top of the painting seems rather out of place!
And, a detail -
What does it all mean? The most obvious solution is to assume these are just coincidences or that the meaning of these things has been lost in time. Or, in some cases, that the artists just didn’t do a very good job!
Next on the list a Madonna and Child painting by Domenico Ghirlandai, with closeups -
But wait, it gets weirder in the closeups -
And finally, a pretty remarkable flying saucer in Aert De Gelder’s “Baptism of Christ” painting.
Baptised by WHAT?!
