Is there a link between UFO's and Christian art?

[MH84]

I can’t believe the images that are contained on this website. I was looking at another website when I came across a poster who posted this link. I decided to check it out. Im sure some of you guys and gals have seen it.

The images are not just from any ancient or medieval art. They are biblical paintings (mainly the New Testament I think). What do you think?!

The website: xfacts.com/old/

I think an art history major went crazy.

Really, those images are easy to explain; half of them represent Heaven shining down on blessed people. Some of them look like symbols just put in the sky. Many of them are just renditions of Heaven where we can see the Saints (clearly a sign of UFO’s holding people ) To be blunt, some of them appear fake.

This is clearly a case of modern interpretation being forced on another time. Dan Brown would be proud.

If the person knew anything about Catholic art he or she wouldn’t read so much into it. “Sheilding their eyes, was the author trying to convey how bright the object was?” No, much more likely demonstrating our unworthiness to gaze upon the glories of Heaven and the Saints.

Easy to explain, huh? You must be quite knowledgeable in the field then.

This is not the only website. There are others I have found out. Im not saying they are “right”, but you have to admit that they are eye-opening.

What do you think about the sphere in the Glorification of the Eucharist painting?

That and the painting, “The Baptism of Christ”, I found to be quite confounding myself. Beautiful paintings, though.

 

[MH84]

Does anyone have any evidence that these images are fraudulent or have been edited?

I would really like to know what the sphere is between the Father and Son in the Glorification of the Eucharist painting. It doesnt look like the planet earth. And also the disc image from the heavens in the Baptism of Christ painting is really confounding. But I guess it might be a common representation of the Father and the Holy Spirit back then. I don’t know.

Also, I have no idea what the man is looking at in the background of painting with Our Lady (near the top of page 1).

Yes, they are eye openers. I found this in a website once and there are 37 separate pictures showing an association with UFOs.

I just saw this forum in a Google alert I got today.

There were two other interesting articles I found there too.

Glorification of the Eucharist - could be one of a few things. Either a metal dish, otherwise known as a ciborium, on which the Host is placed. Or else a mirror (with the two projections representing reflected rays of light). Or simply the sphere represents the universe (not just the Earth) - otherwise known as the ‘celestial spheres’.

None of those “ships” looks anything like the one’s in my hanger(59).

Seriously, someone has been taking Dan Brown too seriously.

What are the two rods connected to the sphere and being held by Jesus and His Father?

What has Dan Brown got to do with anything? Ive never even read his books.

I have no idea what you mean by the first sentence.

No, not an expert. There’s no need to be. You don’t have to be an expert in anything to know that computers, electronics, etc. are not going to be appearing in medieval art.

I don’t have to admit anything, though I’ll admit some people have to much time on their hands.

Out of all your paintings, this one actually did give me pause. I can’t for the life of my figure out what that’s supposed to be, unless it’s the Earth but that doesn’t fit in with the whole of the painting. I don’t know what it is, but it’s easy what it isn’t.

EDIT* Apparently it’s a common representation of the medieval understanding of the solar system, with pointers as medieval tutors would have used, to demonstrate the Father and Son as teachers on creation.

Well to help un-confound you, here you go:

I have found other websites, and Im convinced that all of the paintings can be reasonably explained.

There clear and well explained websites. This one here is excellent: sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_eng.htm. From the website is a good explanation of the “Glorification of the Eucharist” here: sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_1_eng.htm.

It also includes other beautiful paintings, especially in my opinion the ones depicting the Blessed Trinity. Please check out these glorious Trinitarian paintings. I have never seen such beautiul art. Here’s the link again:
sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_1_eng.htm

This website has good explanations too: ufo-blog.com/temp/july/ufodigest/The_Immaculate_Misconception.htm

Check out also the link provided by rawb. Thanks, rawb.

I was tricked by the other websites. When you look at the links above, you can see they show much more higher resolutioned images, therefore you can see the claims of medieval visions of UFO’s are unfounded.

For instance, in the Baptism of Christ you can see clearly the depiction of the Holy Spirit (in the form of a dove) inside the luminous circle. Check out Rawb’s link for more details: abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread188505/pg1

Now to enjoy the paintings for what they really are… Christian art.

Ooh, a Planet X site.
There’s this lady, Nancy Lieder that claims that aliens called Zetas talk to her exclusively.

She said that the Zetas told her that Planet X(aka Nibiru) would sweep through the solar system in May 2003, causing a pole shift that would destroy most of humanity.

She was confronted by an astronomers who logically and pragmatically explained why her claims were rediculous. All she could say was that we were not intelligent enough to understand the science behind her warnings.

Well it’s 2008, were still here.

In Watchtower fasion she insist Planet X is still coming and refuses to give another exact date using rediculous excuses.

 

[MH84]

I don’t know about the Crusader paintings though. Maybe they can be explained as well. If someone finds out please post here. Thanks.

I don’t know about the ancient cave drawings either, but that has nothing to do with Christianity whether they are true or not.
