People with anomalous phenomena often meet, bringing more and more questions. Moreover, most often eyewitnesses encounter UFOs - unidentified objects that from time to time appear in the sky over different countries. Research into this phenomenon is being carried out by groups of enthusiasts. At the state level, UFOs are also studied, but the results of the research are strictly classified.
UFO images on objects of history
The term UFO first appeared in the 20th century, but encounters with this phenomenon have occurred over the centuries. Evidence of this can be found in historical sources and even in works of art. So, one of the most amazing finds is a 17th century French coin. On it you can clearly see an object of a typical disc-shaped shape with portholes on the sides. In the center of the disk, there is either a jet stream or a column of light. The meaning of this design on the coin is still unknown.
You can find images of strange objects on church frescoes in temples, as well as on tapestries. So, the Georgian Cathedral of Sveti-Tskhoveli is known among ufologists for the fact that on one of the frescoes in it, next to Christ, you can see some objects. Even people far from ufology immediately recognize them as UFOs. They are in the shape of a semicircle, and jet streams from the engines break out from their bottom. Similar objects are depicted on the frescoes of some other temples.
Another, no less interesting image can be seen in the painting "Madonna and Saint Giovannino" of the 15th century. On it, above the right shoulder of the Madonna, we can clearly distinguish a dark object in the sky, also resembling a disc-shaped UFO. At the same time, a person is still drawn in the background, looking attentively at him. This means that the strange image is not an accidental defect made by the artist, but an important object to which the author wants to draw the attention of the viewer.
There are a great many such historical monuments with easily recognizable images of UFOs and their pilots. Moreover, such finds are found all over the world. This suggests that people from time immemorial have encountered this phenomenon, attributing demonic, or vice versa, divine properties to it. Moreover, such artifacts often have such recognizable outlines that many consider them a fake. But the examinations carried out claim that all these historical monuments - paintings, sculptures and figurines that resemble UFO pilots and their flying vehicles - are originals.

Studying the phenomenon today
In the 20th century, the UFO theme became especially acute after the famous case when the American pilot Kenneth Arnold witnessed the flight of a group of mysterious objects over the Cascade Mountains. This case is a classic of ufology, and it was from that time that such devices began to be called "flying saucers" or "saucers". Over the course of several decades, a lot of evidence of observations of such flying objects in different parts of the globe has accumulated. At the same time, in a number of cases, eyewitnesses not only saw flights in the sky and landings of UFOs on the surface, but even came into contact with their pilots. It should be noted that such contacts did not always end well - in some cases, even after simply being near the object, the eyewitness had health problems.
According to some reports, a detailed study of the phenomenon was carried out and is still being carried out not only by enthusiasts, but also by law enforcement agencies. This is done in order to understand how serious the threat to national security from UFOs and their activities can be.
In the United States, a large-scale study of unidentified objects by military structures began after the famous Roswell incident, when a UFO crashed near the town of the same name. Particular emphasis was put on the search for material evidence of the existence of UFOs, in particular, the debris formed as a result of their crash.
US intelligence agencies have developed several top-secret projects under the names "Redlight", "Sigma", "Snowbirds", "Blue Book" and others. At the same time, they all pursued different goals - one was reduced to collecting and analyzing information about encounters with UFOs, which came from all over the world. The other involved testing captured alien ships, the third - establishing contacts with aliens. Officially, after a certain time, all projects were closed, and as a result, it was allegedly confirmed that aliens did not exist. In fact, the research results are kept in the strictest confidence.
In the USSR, large-scale studies of this phenomenon were also carried out. And they began with the famous UFO appearance in Petrozavodsk in 1977. However, according to some reports, Stalin was also interested in this problem, according to whose decree information on UFO topics was collected and analyzed.
Today, ufology is officially considered a pseudoscience, and UFOs are nothing more than a unique natural phenomenon. However, such categoricalness, expressed by academic science, looks very strange against the background of a huge amount of evidence of observation and contact with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. Therefore, a number of researchers believe that this is done on purpose in order not to cause panic among the population and to hide the truth. Be that as it may, there is still no firm explanation for this phenomenon, so one can only make assumptions based on the available information.
