UFO'S in R-ligious Art
http://www.crystalinks.com/ufomoses.jpg
In this painting found on a wood drawer from furniture kept at the
Earls D'Oltremond, in Belgium, Moses is depicted receiving the tablets of 
the
Ten Commandments, with "flaming horns." Several equally flaming objects are
in the sky before him. The date and artist are unknown.

Je--s and UFO'S in Re-igious Art

"The Baptism of C-rist"
A disk shaped object is shining beams of light down on John the Baptist and
Jes-- - Fitzwilliam Musuem, Cambridge, England - Painted in 1710 by Flemish
artist Aert De Gelder. It depicts a classic, hovering, silvery, saucer 
shaped
UFO shining beams of light down on John the Baptist and --sus. What could 
have
inspired the artist to combine these two subjects?

17th century fresco of the crucifiction - Svetishoveli Cathedral in 
Mtskheta,
Georgia. Note the two saucer shaped craft on either side of Ch-ist.

Painted by Paolo
Uccello - circa 1460-1465.
The picture on the right shows a red saucer shaped UFO seen near
J--us.
The painting hangs in the Academy of Florence.

http://www.crystalinks.com/crucifixion1350.jpg
Frescos throughout Europe which reveal the appearance of space ships
in the skies including this painting of 'The Crucifixion' - painted in 1350. 
It
seems to depict a small human looking man looking over his shoulder -
at another UFO as if in pursuit - as he flies across the sky in what is
clearly a space ship.
The leading craft is decorated with two twinkling stars, one reminiscent of
national insignia on modern aircraft. This painting hangs above the altar at
the Visoki Decani Monestary in Kosovo, Yugoslavia.

"Glorification of the Euc-arist" was painted by Bonaventura Salimbeni in
1600.

Today it hangs in the c-urch of San Lorenzo in San Pietro, Montalcino, 
Italy.
What does the 'Sputnik satellite-like device' represent?

Mother M-ry

http://www.crystalinks.com/ufomadonna.jpg
A fourteenth century fresco of the Madonna and Child depict on the top right
side the image of a UFO hovering in the distance. A blow up of this fresco
reveals tremendous details about this UFO including port holes. It seems to
indicate a rel-gious involvement between UFO's and the appearance of the
Chr-st Child.

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 Ma-y'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.

"The Assumption of the V-rgin"
http://www.crystalinks.com/assumption1490.jpg
Painted circa 1490 by an unknown artist.

Saucer shaped "clouds" intrigue modern ufologists. Could so many have
appeared in the sky at one time? Or, are the hat shaped UFOs depicted so
numerous here to -punctuate- certain events as being particularly h-ly?

Annunciation with Saint Emidius" (1486) and hangs in the National Gallery,
London. A disk shaped object is shining a pencil beam of light down into
Mar-'s crown chakra. A blow up of the object is next to the painting.

The picture above depicts Je--s and Ma-y on what appear to be lenticular
clouds. The painting is entitled "The M-racle of the Snow" and was
painted by Masolino Da Panicale (1383-1440) and hangs at the ch-rch of
Santa Maria Maggiore, Florence, Italy-
Barry H. Downing's The B-ble and Flying Saucers (1968)

The Bi-le, both Old and New Testaments, is filled with accounts of
encounters with divi-e beings. Abraham and the 'smoking firepot' and a
flaming torch that appeared in the sky as a sign of acceptance of his
sacrifice
(G-nesis 15:17), the 'pillar of cloud'by day and the 'pillar of fire' by
night that led Moses and the Israelites.
(E-odus 13:22), -od landing on Mount Sinai in smoke, with a sound of
a trumpet before them.
(Ex-dus19:18-19), Elijah being 'carried up to heaven' in a 'chariot of fire'
which created a whirlwind.
(II K-ngs 2:11), and of course, Ezekiel's famous close encounter.
(Ez-kiel 1:1-28).
The New Testament likewise contains many familiar-sounding sightings.
Foremost is famous Star of Bethlehem which Matthew records that the
Wise Men - probably Zoroastrian astronomer-priests - followed till it came
to rest over the place where the child was. (Matt. 2:9) - most unusual
behavior for a supernova, comet, or planetary conjunction!
The birth itself had been immediately announced by the appearance of a
messenger shining with the glory of the L-rd to shepherds in the fields at
night. (L-ke 2:9)
Downing, himself a minister, argues that many of the terms describing such
glorious and shining lights could be descriptions of UFOs. Even the shape
believed to be the H--ly S-irit that was seen to descend like a dove at 
Ch-ist's
baptism and the bright cloud at the Transfiguration, (M-tt. 17:1-8)
might have been extraterrestrial craft. The men in shining clothes, such as
those the disciples believed were Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration,
would then have been their occupants.
After the Crucifixion, yet another of these fellows came out of the sky,
rolled the stone away from the tomb and announced the Resurrection.
And of course, at the end of Je--us mission on Earth, he rose into the air 
and
a cloud took him out of their sight while two of those mysterious Men in
Wh-te consoled the disciples (A-ts 1:6-11).

Giants In The Bib-e -

Flood Stories
Ge-esis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also
after that, when the sons of G-d came in unto the daughters of men, and they
bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old,
men of renown.
N-mbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which
come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and
so we were in their sight.
De-teronomy 2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims;
but the Moabites call them Emims.
Deu-eronomy 2:20-21 That also was accounted a land of giants: giants
dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; A
people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LO-D destroyed
them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
Deu-eronomy 3:11-13 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of
giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of 
the
children of Ammon? Nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the
breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. And this land, which we possessed 
at
that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, 
and
the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. And the 
rest
of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half 
tribe
of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the 
land
of giants.
Deuter-nomy 9:2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom
thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the
children of Anak!
Jos-ua 12:4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of
the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Josh-a 13:12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and
in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses
smite, and cast them out.
Josh-a 15:8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto
the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went
up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom 
westward,
which
is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
Joshu- 17:15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get
thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of 
the
Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
