Interesting post,there have certainly been many UFO (and USO) reports down the years and many images depicting strange obects in the sky;its a bit
tricky with religious paintings and iconography as some artists painted in the context of the religious 'sun and moon' symbology and left it down to
the subjective interpretation of the observer -having said that there are some other images which are very strange and resemble sightings today:
French rennaisance painting:
That said, it is worth having a look at this old French website which looks at the possible misinterpretations and attempts to give a rational (if not
sometimes cynical) explantions for certain objects depicted in old images and paintings.

Sun and moon symbology notwithstanding,there does exist some truly intruiging historical testimonies,images,cave paintings,murals,tryptichs and
woodcuts -not to mention the UFO subject possibly being misrepresented and misinterpreted in a religious context itself:
Fatima thread:

The historical aspect of UFOs/USOs is very interesting and the religious correlation is valid one as I suspect nowadays, if we were to land on a
planet full of 'technology free' natives and then take off again,the planet's inhabitiants would start worshipping,deifying and embellishing
stories about us almost immediately.
