Most often, descriptions of flying objects are found in religious literature, as well as descriptions of the organization, nature and philosophy of the creatures that control these objects. Indeed, some writers often note that the fundamental texts of any religion allude to some kind of relationship between humans and the "highly evolved race" of beings who came from heaven.
In particular, a similar terminology is found in the Bible, which says: "They come from a distant country, from the edge of heaven, the Lord and the instruments of His wrath to crush the whole earth" (Isaiah IS: 5). The messengers have the ability to fly in space with the help of shining instruments, which are sometimes called "celestial chariots."
The appearances of the messengers are inextricably linked with the impressive physical and meteorological effects, which were described by ancient authors as "whirlwinds", "pillars of fire", etc. The passengers of these vehicles, which were later provided by icon painters with wings and radiance, are similar to a person and can talk to him. They are subject to a strict military system.
The French artist Gustave Doré, to whom we owe magnificent illustrations to the Bible, has one drawing showing us such "celestial chariots" in their powerful and fantastic flight over mountains of clouds and over abysses. One of the periods of prehistoric Japan, ending around 1300 BC, was named "Era Jomon". This period saw incredible artistic activity when earthen statues were made. At first, these statues, representing human beings, were very simple, and necessarily small in height. However, by the middle of this period, artists began to model more majestic statues, with standard lines but a completely new pattern: wide chests, bent legs, very short arms and large heads hidden under helmets.
Archaeologists cannot come to a consensus even on the nature of these helmets. In 1924, Dr. Gento Hasebe cautiously suggested that such a headdress was actually used in burials. This opinion was based on the similarity of such a headdress with a wooden mask he found used in burials in Africa.
In northern Japan, near Tohoku, there are several statues with better workmanship, which seem to wear "sunglasses": they have huge eyes with a horizontal slit, like those of insects. It is believed that statues dating from the end of the Jomon era, first made from earth, were later made from rock or loose stones.
Those statues that are located in Kamukai (Nambu province) are carved into the rocks and "dressed" in helmets. One of them is a statue of Dogu Jomon, dating from 4300 BC and recovered from the ruins of Amadaki in Iwate Prefecture. On the front of her helmet, some details stand out: a circular opening at the base of her nose, reminiscent of a pierced palate.
It is important to note the similarities between the Dogu costume and the costumes worn by astronauts. They lead researchers of the Jomon era to the assumption that the statues are intended to perpetuate the memory of visitors from outer space. Helmets equipped with filters, as well as large glasses, high and wide collars, are very reminiscent of modern space jumpsuits.

The fact that the sculptors created these statues as hollow also raises intriguing questions. As we can now state, the Far East in general is the richest source of documents about supernatural beings and heavenly signs.
