How far back is the written history of UFOs?

Question

I don't mean when the cave men drew on the walls of the caves.I mean when anything was written down in script about them.

Answer 1

If you can get a hold of it.. read the book or watch the show called... "Chariots Of The Gods"... it really gets you thinking

Answer 2

- Back to ther Mayans again on this one. I haven't the cunning liguistics to speak their lingo, but you may find some details in books from their hieroglyphs.

The date - about 300BC

There are carvings of Spacecraft, parts and figures all over the world from this time period, as well as numerous reports of "Helpers, Angels, Gods, Spirits" that do (at the time) extrodinary things. Angels were said to fly - in a dark cloud in the day, and illuminated at night.

The Mayans and Egyptians both had similar interests in metallurgy of heavy metals, and built pyramids. This "magic" was passed to Moses from the Egyptian Magi, and continued up to Jesus' time

(Atlantium 18th August 2007) has a few carvings.

I think it is vitally important that we correlate these details of the Old Testament - which also date at around this time also - The time Before and up to Moses.

Archeologists have created a rule to discredit items found outside of the prevalent time .

I suggest you research these "Items out of time" - I believe there will be some remarkable discoveries - Research-

Egyptian Battery discovery

Egyptian Electric Lighting (arc - yes arc lighting!)

Egyptian Bird/ aircraft.

Cochaine in tomb

Monoatomic Gold

Electrostatic discharge on pyramid tops

Istambul rocketship.

-Lots more to find!

Good luck.

Answer 6

hundres of years, i saw one back in 8

Answer 7

Other than various cultural mythologies, the first real claims about UFOs (as you are thinking of them) came in the 1940s, perhaps a few in the 20s and 30s. But it really "took off" in the 1940s.  

It's curious, (or perhaps not so curious) that this is when jets and rockets were first developed.

Answer 8

Since before man could set it down on stone or paper.  Superstition and myth are all full of such events.  

People believe in such things mostly due to religious teachings.  So far there is o proof of any visitor to this planet from another planer.  Many stories no proof.

Answer 9

there's a story in Ezekiel in the bible about an "angel" riding around in a wheel spinning around another wheel that some people think is a story about aliens visiting earth........
