The  truth may or may not be out there. Despite that uncertainty, Matthew Hurley is convinced of one thing: UFO art is most definitely out there. He collects images of frescos, tapestries, illustrations, oil paintings, and early photographs depicting unidentified flying objects. Thousand-year-old petroglyphs tell the story of an alien ship crash-landing in Death Valley, and saucer-shaped objects are the subjects of ancient French cave paintings. Chinese illustrations depict flying cars, and silvery saucers are hidden in a Buddhist mural. UFOs work their way into religious art -- witness a red saucer in a 15th-century painting of Jesus and spot the spaceships behind a Yugoslavian fresco of Christ's crucifixion. Other alien artwork illustrates a light battle in the skies of Nuremburg in 1561, a UFO hovering over Renaissance Rome, and a red fireball suspended above China in 1890. Hurley also points out various hoaxes and misinterpretations -- for example, the Bayeux Tapestry shows an actual sighting of Haley's Comet in 1066, not a UFO. As for the rest of these images, we may never know what they mean. (in Alternative Science) |
