What are the debuker arguments for some of the one's that have already been posted in this thread? I can already hear it, "of course that is not a UFO in that 16th Century painting, it is swamp gas and the other is flying seed pods". Hey listen, I know that there are loads of fake UFO pictures these days and I am truly a "prove it guy" but these old works of art may be the some of the best evidence. Too bad nobody is still around from those days. Thanks ATS!
This painting is called "The Madonna with Saint Giovannino". It was painted in the 15th century by Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449-1494) and hangs as part of the Loeser collection in the Palazzo Vecchio. Above Mary's right shoulder is a disk shaped object. Below is a blow up of this section and a man and his dog can clearly be seen looking up at the object.

Symbols in art mean different things to different cultures in different times. What looks like a UFO beaming a laser at the Virgin May to a 21st century audience was meant by the artist at the time to be circles of angels surrounding God and his light descending on Mary.
A lot of the above pictures are also poor internet copies of the originals, which makes UFO-looking objects appear. This is to say, many supposed UFOs in reproductions of paintings on-line actually look so because of poor digital reproduction. For instance, in the Virgin Mary particle beam picture, the "UFO" in the original is actually alternating rings of clouds and angles which have always represented God in sacred Catholic art. This is unseen because of the poor quality of the reproductions on the internet.
Please don't confuse ancient or medieval symbolism of sacred art with depictions of UFOs. Also please note that most paintings lose A LOT of detail when digitized an put up on the Web. Please check out this website for an explaination of how scholars interpret these "UFO evidence paintings". Most all of the paintings posted in this thread so far are discussed there.
