Inside ancient UFO sightings from Bible 'sky chariot' to ‘alien’ cave paintings that show Pentagon report is nothing new
FROM Bible verses to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, history is full of strange goings on that alien hunters claim are proof of visits from extraterrestrials.
The earliest records could even be in the form of paintings by our caveman ancestors – perhaps showing that the UFO sightings now subject to official probes in Washington and Beijing are really nothing new.
Earlier this year, a long-awaited Pentagon report admitted experts could not explain some 144 reports of "unidentified aerial phenomena".
It was slammed as a "whitewash" by believers even though top brass said they could not rule out an alien origin for the sightings.
Meanwhile the Chinese government has reportedly launched its own UFO investigation after a rush of excitement there.
Military researchers are said to have dubbed them "Unidentified Air Conditions" or UACs.
China and Russia reportedly hope to take the international lead in studying encounters, sparking a bizarre new arms race with the US.
But as these examples show, people have been looking up in wonder for thousands of years.
