George Bernard Shaw once said "We learn from history that we learn nothing from history". This saying is fitting to this peice of evidence that seems to suggest the phenomenon of UFO's has been around since the start of human civilization and yet it is consistently dismissed by so called experts. Today most of the UFO sightings are often brushed a side with the experts saying is was military testing new technological weaponry or new plane, but this can't be an explanation when human flight was impossible. 

The picture of the painting below titled The Madonna with Saint Giovannino dates back to around the 15th century. The painting has the Virgin Mary in the foreground, and in the background there is a man looking up in awe at an object in the sky that today we would call it a UFO. 

This is just one example of UFO's in ancient art. There are several thousand examples of what appears to be flying objects in the sky in many paintings and even cave drawings spanning across the centuries. What appears strange is how in most of these paintings and drawings they seem to depict UFO's in Connection with a spiritual figure or experience. Some people believe that this was just how the people of that period interpreted the things they were seeing or perhaps there is a literal connection between the spiritual and UFOs.

Erich Von Daniken, author of one of the most famous and contrecersial books title Chariots of the Gods. In his book he suggests that our gods and angles maybe really intelligent aliens. In the old Testament, The book of Eli (Ezekiel) there is a description that says he had an encounter with a strange flying object described to be made from metal and was shaped like a wheel. Inside this object there were four living beings that looked similar to humans. 

Many people will have a hard time taking these theories serious, but even respected and well known astrophysicist Carl Sagan believed that we should accept the possibility that we may have had contact with extra-terrestrial life some time in the past, so we should not completely dismiss this idea
