Here is an interesting link of some modern day UFO paintings from South American Indians. These were done under the influence of hallucinogens.

What is your take on that?
you forgot storytelling!

^ Indeed, I think the explanations given for biblical paintings of 'UFOs' explain well that they are not representing saucers but it is wrong to claim that all paintings, drawings and such that exist are all because of superstitions, yet alone dreaming or hallucinating.

It's been discussed a lot mate www.abovetopsecret.com... and it comes down to the usual brick wall, those who believe against those who do not.

Speaking of brick walls...
Noticed you linked your thread and not THIS ONE.
The OP might want to weigh actual info vs. fringe beliefs based on ignorance.
On second thought, probably not.

Ah but not on a mundane level. Its the storytelling of archetypes not egos. It's a collective psychophysical hallucination that blurs the boundaries between subjective and objective reality and utilizes our unconscious mind-over-matter. They are non-local, living dreams and myths that can't be contained by mundane notions of everyday dreams...because reality is more like a giant cosmic dream than like a giant mindless machine.

After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. He said, “Get up. Don’t be afraid.” 8 When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus.

When you do explore this route, the blurring will occur. I do believe what is depicted in art in general is the subjective reality of the artist and not a record of objective reality. Even if these things did occur in objective reality, it is still a subjective interpritation.
Also, the hallucination thing is interesting and I have no problem looking into a psychological component for some U.F.O.'s and abduction cases. But again, it would be silly to think everyone who has photoed or made a video of a U.F.O. is hallucinating or every eyewitness account is a hallucination. That would be like saying all U.F.O.'s are extraterrestrials.
