I gathered these Ancient UFO sightings from different sources. The Bible Ufo Connection site: http://www.bibleufo.com/ufos.htm has the more or less I believe the complete compilation of Ancient UFO Sightings as early as man could record the encounters, though others from the compilation of Julius Obsequens in his book Prodigorium Liber.
I made a chronicle of UFO sightings from the first time man had declared and documented his encounters with the unidentified flying objects up to present personal accounts of individuals with these flying vehicles.
Although there are many theories that man had seen UFOs thousands of years back. The proofs to this claim are paintings, artifacts, sculptures and glyphs inscribed by early man depicting their encounters with the cosmic beings.
PROOF OF SIGHTINGS IN ANCIENT ARTIFACTS
First sightings of flying cylinders are believed to be during the existence of early man on Earth
This is based on some artifacts and paintings depicting such odd encounters of the UFOs during ancient times.
