Interesting. Old Hindu/Vedic texts also talk about “chariots in the sky shooting flames” etc. The “Ancient Aliens” hypothesis is juicy and irresistibly intriguing, I must admit. The minute I see some forensic evidence I’ll believe in the alien origins of UFOs with all my heart. But otherwise, I will not believe it just because this or that person says they are aliens. John, I noticed that you seem to be comfortable in accepting what other people say without seeing the evidence yourself. That’s “Argument from Authority” about which I wrote a whole separate piece: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/an-old-fallacy-argument-from-authority-33435198d552
