UFO'S In Ancient Art

In 1496, in The Annunciation preserved at the National Gallery of London, Carlo Crivelli (1430-1496) replaced the Gabriel Archangel by a "UFO" which launches a luminous ray on the face of the Virgin.

Painting of The Baptism of Christ by Aert de Gelder (1645-1727)

Details of the painting are as follows: Oil on canvas, 48.3 x 37.1 cm. Given by Lord Alwym Compton, Bishop of Ely, 1905 PROV: Marianne, Countess of Alford, who bequeathed oil to the donor, 1888. Perhaps circa 1710

Over the fabric of Filippo Lippi (1406-1469), or Domenico Ghirlandino, The Virgin and Midsummer's Day Child, preserved at Palazzo Vecchio, a man and his dog observe an object attentively sinks pretence to emit luminous rays.

To the 14th century, on a fresco of the monastery of Detjani to Kosovo, gone back to 1350, one can see two characters in two flying objects one continuing the other. The characters looking at this strange scene seem frightened.
