UFOs Before Christ

To do this we need to abandon old prejudices and accept that the veiled is revealed. Thousands of ancient literary testimonies from all over the world tell us stories from the past that cannot leave us indifferent simply because official historiography, not knowing what to say, considers them invented fables.

Unfortunately these records are often read by the most skeptics from a blind position of denial that rejects any hypothesis, further analysis or study concerning the extraterrestrial hypothesis.

A subset of these “out of place” narratives are reports and stories of UFO sightings across ancient history which seems to be truly peppered with distance encounters with unidentified objects or entities. These, in fact, have been verbalized in almost every century since the beginning of known history.

Throughout antiquity unidentified flying objects have been noticed and duly reported, leaving a long series of unanswered question marks. Were UFO with us since the beginning of our history?

Below we have listed only some of the most popular UFO sightings in ancient history.

2.UFOs in antiquity: The Tulli Papyrus

Where best to start this list than potentially the very first UFO ever documented by humans, at least among the first ones to be documented? We are in ancient Egypt, during the 18th dynasty, during the reign of Thutmosis III, around 1480 BC.

In an open field, indigenous people see a flying object appear from the sky. Its size was of 5 meter in length and 5 meter in width (one “rod” equals approximately 5 meters) and was emitting smoke (?!)from the front. The locals throw themselves to the ground in awe and warn the pharaoh. In the days that follow, more similar flying objects swarm the area to the point of filling the sky. Finally, before leaving by vertically flying away, fishes and birds fall dead to the ground.

Plutarch, the renowned Greek Platonist philosopher, essayist and historian, describes a peculiar event occurred on a battlefield in Phrygia, Asia. The year is 74 BC and a Roman army commanded by Lucius Licinius Lucullus is about to clash against Mithridates VI of Pontus’ army when…

“all of a sudden, the sky burned in many places, and an enormous body like a flame was seen falling between the two armies. The shape was similar to a wine jar, and in color, it was like molten silver. ” 

Lucullus, 8:6

As we have reflected in our previous article, (Earth and the stars cultural clashes) human beings use words they know to describe objects they are not familiar with. Seen from below, a spaceship of circular or elliptical shape is highly likely to be associated with a wine jar, perhaps placed horizontally.

The silver object in the sky had been recorded by both armies, thousands of people. Moreover more historians with conflicting interests and points of view managed to agree on this event.

All in all considered, this episode alone should suffice to prove alien visits in our past. But we are just getting warm.

4.UFOs in antiquity: Ships in the sky

From this event stems the legend of Mars shield. In fact, one of the shields observed in the sky fell to the ground. Such shield was collected and preciously safeguarded. Eleven copies were made in order to confuse potential thieves.

Apart from this, the historian records a whole series of miraculous or paranormal events that leave room, to say the least, for the UFO hypothesis.

Titus Livius says:

“Men’s fears were augmented by the prodigies reported simultaneously from many places: that in Sicily the javelins of several soldiers had taken fire, and that in Sardinia, as a horseman was making the round of the night-watch, the same thing had happened to the truncheon which he held in his hand; many fires had blazed up on the shore; certain soldiers had been struck with lightning; the sun’s disk had seemed to be contracted;

glowing stones had fallen from the sky at Praeneste; at Arpi shields had appeared in the sky and the sun had seemed to be fighting with the moon; at Capena two moons had risen in the daytime;  that at Falerii the sky had seemed to be rent as it were with a great fissure; and through the opening a bright light had shone; at Capua there had been the appearance of a sky on fire and of a moon that fell in the midst of a shower of rain.”

212 BC – Rieti, Italy : “a large stone was seen hovering in the sky”

In the seventh chapter of the twenty-fifth book, the historian reports the following:

“On Mount Albano, for two days uninterruptedly, stones rained down; many places were struck by lightning; in Cumae, a wall and some towers were not only struck by lightning but also knocked down; in Rieti a large stone was seen hovering in the sky and the sun appeared more red than usual, similar in color to blood”
