why don't paintings like this recieve mainstream attention?

These pictures are all explainable thru that time period's religious symbology. If you go to ATS's UFO board and do a search, a gentleman who studies religious art explained what all these objects were, and why they were in the pictures.

In short, they were anything but UFOs.

What they are is essentially misperceptions and ignorance of the symbology.

They are all detailed here with excellent examples and explainations.

ART and UFO - Intro

These images of two crusaders date from a 12th century manuscript " Annales Laurissenses" (volumes/books about historical and religion events)and refer to a UFO sighting in the year 776, during the siege on Sigiburg castle, France. The Saxons besieged and surrounded the French people. They both were fighting when suddenly a group of discs (flaming shields) appeared hovering over the top of the church. It appeared to the Saxons that the French were protected by these objects and the Saxons fled.

has this one been explained as religious symbology?
can't find it on that site of yours

lets see here...a group of discs (flaming shields as medieval men called it) appeared hovering over a church....which seemed to PROTECT the french and the saxons ran away

how can this be any kind of symbology other then an acient ufo encounter?
look at the painting it resembles a ufo so much it boggles the mind

combine it with the manuscript description of what happened and it don't see this as religion related symbology

also the way the site says that the divine is many times represented as a disc or something similar may be because theres a big chance "god" IS AN ALIEN

as i said before check www.bibleufo.com there are tons of quotes there that suggest "angel" encounters or "god" encounters could be nothing more then alien contacts

offcourse to the people of the day it would have been a lifechanging magical supernatural almost indescribable thing thats why its worded so weird in the bible

they described these things they saw with the understanding and vocabulary they had in those days

Although aliens and ufos is a possibility for the pics above, so's comets and meteors.

Of course not, it's an ancient UFO account, not a religious painting. Alexander the Great also had an encounter with "flying shields". This has nothing to do with religion, unlike the others posted here.

As far as bibleufo.com goes, they could equate just about anything to a UFO or alien, as it's their agenda in making their point.

I can just as easily level this argument: If "aliens" are demonic, then what better way to turn people from God, then to inject themselves into being interpreted as angels or God himself.

Just as plausible, but again, a theory only.

Sure UFOs have been around a long time, but trying to attribute UFOs in paintings such as in the original posts, have all been explained.
