    They all look pretty identifiable to me. What are people thinking when they see these things and go nuts?

    I want to keep this thread in perspective with the original post about UFO coins, I don;t want to take it out of it;s context.


    Well tha;s your opinion these objects have been seen in very early time the bible has many different interpertations about these objects.

    Do you believe in other forms of life in the universe? Well what is your interpertation of what these coins are about then we will take it from there.

    No I haven't but I will check it out I want to thank you for the info . I just want to tell you i have been doing research on this subject since I was about 14 years old many books on the topic. I think this is one of the most interesting topics to discuss.

    I just want to keep the thread in context what i said earlier since this is a coin site.

    Here's a coin that the French minted silver and gold alloys a commerative coin depicting a UFO on the coin. The coin was minted to commerate Jules Verne the writer of from earth to the moon. I really think this coin happens to be a very interesting one. I like the design great art work

    Here;s another Ufo coin obverse and reverse
    The image is definitely a celestrial shield The image looks like a shield leaning against a wall with some weapons illustratind on a spectacular jeton. It is a spectacular piece. The opportune time refers to the battle of Troy when the gods threw down a celstrial shield at an opportune time. This ismuch to short od a lionger story , In any event French symbolism drew heavily of the legends of troy etc in the 1600's depicting a battle with a UFO

    You yourself just described it as a 'celestial shield'. That obviously implies the blessing and protection of the gods. It seems to me like you're just trying to shoehorn UFO's into other contexts. I'm pretty sure that the object on the Jules Verne coin is the Nautilus.

    I'm personally open to life outside Earth, I believe it inevitable. But I also think that they have better things to do than literally peep into our windows. Non-human intelligent life is a VERY big thing, and accordingly requires very big proof.

    I totally disagree with you don't humans have interest in other forms of life just on our earth alone ,we are inteligent beings to the lower forms of life and we peep into there windows .
    (The vast oceans for one they are alien to us. )

    I would think to the out siders we may be interesting species to them to be honest with you , pretty messed up species I'm embaressed to be A HUMAN BEING. I DONT WANT TO TAKE THE THREAD OUT OF CONTEXT LIKE I SAID EARLIER IT'S A COIN CHAT FORUM Oh and the shield is protection against the UFO I left that out

    i don't think the real experts are puzzled. The whole explanation of the first and third "coins" can be found here http://www.sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_7.htm (in Italian). I say "coins" because they are really more like tokens than legal tender. They are French, by the way. The "UFO" is actually the Ancile, the sacred shield sent from Giove to the king of Rome Numa Pompilio to protect the city from the lightning of heaven and assure that it becomes the leading city of the world.

    There are still puzzled, there are so many different interpertations about these coins and nobody can't give the true meaning what these coins represented by the artists who made these, in those times just like the drawings of these objects in caves it's all related


    I can reassure you they are UFo's depicted on them,and the site you posted is in Italian so what the heck were you reading I don't know how to read pizza words even thow I'm a full bred Italian..

    I just want to say these objects probably have been in our skys since the begining of human life

    There is a reason for these objects in the sky and who knows when the real truth would come out it may be sooner than you think Jazz
