While the provided list is more of an example than anything, I have the impression there is countless historical records of possible sightings - From ancient descriptions of legendary flying fire chariots to paintings containing objects surprisingly similar to modern descriptions of UFO’s.
We know people describe unknown events with the best words they have. Modern examples can be when firescene investigations get testimonies that “The fire jumped from seat to seat”. Does fire even have legs to jump with? I would not be surprised if ancient stories about “wheels within wheels” or “Flying chariots of fire” could be describing events they simply didn’t have words for.
With all of the stories that could be interpreted as ancient stories of UFO’s, even if just a small percentage of the are real - It would mean the UFO phenomenon have interacted with earth for at least thousands of years.
What is your thoughts on this, anything to it? Do you have different estimates? Do you think the phenomena started in 1947? Is it all just a pop-cultural mediaindustrial hoax complex?
Again I think you’re misrepresenting what is confirmed or reasonable to assume isn’t alien technology as representative for everything in the field, just like with dismissing any ancient accounts of what some people interpret as spacecrafts/vehicles etc. as reasonably explained.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts though, it’s always interesting to hear other points of view.
No ‘physics defying’ object has ever been confirmed, even as an object. It’s all based on assumptions that observation of unidentified phenomenon represent physical objects. So there is literally as much evidence that ‘physics defying’ UAP are ghosts as aliens.
