Unidentified flying objects are celestial bodies that can be in the form of discs, shields, balls, cylinders, as well as sickle-shaped and torch-shaped aircraft. Flames may erupt from their stern. What do you think: when was this classification introduced? If someone thinks that in 1947, then it is not so. This classification was proposed … Pliny the Elder - Roman erudite writer, And he proposed it in the 70th year of the 1st century AD. Based on the observation of more than a hundred UFOs, over a period of about 70 years …
It is believed that the term "flying saucer" gained world fame with the light hand of Arnold Kennat, after observing nine disc-shaped UFOs in the Rocky Mountains (USA). This is not true. The term was proposed by one of the Italian monks in the 16th century.
Earlier, in the 15th century BC, in the so-called "Lyons papyrus" a record was made about how an unidentified object in the form of a shield hung in the sky over the army of the pharaoh for several days.
Air chariots (vimanas) were described by the Indian sage Maharishi Bharadwaja in the 4th century BC in the Vimanika Shastra manuscript. But this manuscript was written on the basis of manuscripts dating from the first and second millennia BC.
In this work, it is said that the aircraft were in the shape of a sphere, and could travel long distances in a short period of time, using mercury in their engines. Vimanas were so strong that they could not be broken or burned. They had the ability to shrink and grow in size, become invisible, move by jumping and zigzagging, diving and much more.
The characteristics of UFOs described in ancient times are observed in our time. Or rather, we observe in the sky vehicles that have been visiting our planet for more than one millennium.

The appearance of a UFO during the campaigns of Alexander the Great has been documented.
In 332. BC there was a siege of the Phoenician city of Tire. Suddenly, five shield-shaped objects appeared in the sky over the Macedonian camp. The objects were moving in a clear triangular formation, and the one flying in front was more than twice the size of the others.
In front of the soldiers, amazed by what they saw, having made several circles over the besieged Tire, unidentified objects released "lightning", which made holes in the city wall. Through these gaps, the Macedonians rushed to the assault. UFOs continued to circle over Tire until the city was completely captured by Alexander's army. Only after that they went up at great speed and disappeared from sight.
UFOs have also been observed in Ancient Greece. The philosopher Anaxagoras in the 5th century BC described an object "the size of a large log" that hung motionless in the air for several days and at the same time glowed.
Seneca, who lived in the 1st century BC, wrote in "Questions of Naturalism" that beams of light were repeatedly observed in the sky, crossing it from east to west, or from west to east.
The famous ancient Greek philosopher, historian, geographer and astronomer Posidonius described the pillars and shields enveloped in flames, and other luminous objects, noting that they are neither stars nor parts of celestial bodies.
Aristotle called UFOs "flying discs."
Plutarch also paid attention to UFOs. In the "Greek history" he wrote that in 102g. BC over the Italian cities of Ameri and Trundet in the sky saw "darts" of gigantic proportions and "flaming shields." They connected together, separated, overtook each other
Plutarch described an incident that occurred in 73. BC, when the Dardanelles were preparing to enter the battle two troops - the Roman commander Lucullus and the king Mithridates. Suddenly, a large fiery body in the shape of a barrel was noticed in the sky. It descended with great speed. Just where the two armies were facing each other. Struck by what they saw, the troops dispersed without engaging in combat, and the UFO flew away.
Pliny in the second volume of Natural History called the disc-shaped objects "discoids", barrel-shaped and round-shaped - "piteas", horn-shaped - "seratya", and in the form of a torch - "lamps".
In 1556. An engraving was made showing a war of black and white UFOs that took place in the sky.
In 1716, not far from St. Petersburg, Russian sailors at sea for 15 minutes watched with horror the battle between two cloud-like UFOs. These "clouds" were sending out rays of flame, lightning and "fiery arrows" into each other.
There are images of disc-shaped objects in the caves of La Passiega (Spain), and Fon de Goma (France).
In Japan, the tomb of Chin San, which dates back to 2000 BC, depicts an ancient ruler raising his hands to welcome seven UFOs flying in the sky.
One of the earliest evidences of the description of UFOs is considered to be the papyrus found in the collection of Professor A. Tully. The papyrus was written in the 15th century BC, during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. It says that in the twenty-second year, in the third month of winter, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the scribes of the House of Life observed a moving object in the form of a circle of fire in the sky.
There are a great many descriptions of the appearance of unidentified objects in ancient times. And from these descriptions it is clear that the ancient people observed exactly those objects that are now called UFOs. Observed and described in detail. At the same time, there were no secrets, no censorship.
