Let the readers judge for themselves. Lilith In 1595, Italian artist Bonaventura Salimbeni (1567-1613) was commissioned to produce a painting for the right-hand BY JU LIE LOAR altar of the Church of St. Peter at M ontalcino, located within a few miles of F lorence. H e was a member of a EAR LY R AYS prominent family of artists from nearby Siena, and the goal of his commission was that his work be completed for the N ews Christian Jubilee Year of 1600.

man, God the Son as Jesus Christ, and the H oly Spirit portrayed as a Dove hovering above the center. What immediately catches the viewers attention, however, is something pictured in among the Trinity members that to modern eyes seems very familiar, but not from the right time period. The first impression is that it looks exactly like a spheroid satellite with two antennae, something akin to the old R ussian sputniks or American vanguard orbiters of the late 1950s. But what is it actually supposed to be? R enaissance art experts interpret the strange sphere as representing the universe, s howing the faint lines of celestial longitude and latitude, plus the images of an obscure sun and an exaggerat ed crescent moon shining from inside. The two antennaeone held by God the F ather and the other by God the Sonare said to be scepters symbolizing divine rulership. But the closer one examines the object, the more inconsistencies arise with this somewhat limited interpretation. If the sphere is supposed to be the universe, why are there no stars or constellations depicted shining from inside it? In fact, there is nothing transparent about itthe sphere on the contrary appears to be solid, with what looks like a metallic sheen reflected off its exterior. The so-called celestial lines more realistically suggest the seams of metal plating that covers the outer circumference, made of a strange blue-black material. The sun is too indistinct to represent the solar body, and in a technological cont ext more likely is an electrical light source designed to illuminate the spheres immediate surroundings. As for the moon, its unnatural double crescent with touching ends was not meant to depict a flat circle in two dimensions, but forms the edge of a three-dimensional narrow-width cylinder seen from an anglewhat we today would identify as a camera lens protruding off the spheres surface. Without a doubt the most outlandish features are the two antennae. They bear no resemblance whatsoever to any type of scepter or staff of power used by R enaissance officials, political or religious. U sually a scepter is pointed at the bottom end and has some symbol or figure prominently displayed at its apex. In contrast, the two objects held by the Trinity members are slightly wider at their bases than their tops. In fact, on much closer inspection, it can be clearly seen that both objects have an inherent telescoping design. They are segmented into distinct sections which could be collapsed into a smaller size, and when pulled apart would extend to greater lengths. The problem is, telescoping was a mechanical innovation which was not invented unt il the early eighteenth century. What is it doing being portrayed in a painting over a hundred years too soon? Even stranger, it can be observed that the two antennae are fastened to the sphere with gold or brass-colored grommet-rings, and certain lengths of the antennae also have grommet-rings. A grommet-ring is a threaded eyelet that is used to tighten and hold metal segments in place. Once again, we are dealing with something from another time, for such an innovation did not appear in industrial machinery design until the mid-nineteenth century. And then there is the anomaly of the antennae themselves. We today of course are very familiar with their utilization as rabbit ears, used for television, radio and other signal receivers and transmit ters. Even the recognizable wide-angle dispersion configuration is faithfully pictured in the R enaissance painting. Yet the existence of antennae for the earliest radio transmissions did not appear until the first part of the twentieth century. Going a step beyond, it can also be noticed that the sphere is clearly depicted as not resting on the background cloud it is pictured with, or sits on any surface whatsoever, but is hovering in place, held up by the invisible powers of the Trinity. Also, the sphere casts no well-defined shadow, which means that it did not appear in the physical but was more likely seen as a projected image. H ere we are now dealing with possible anti-gravitational or electrostatic levitation, as well as sophisticated holography, that are beyond our present abilities. Looking at all these various anomalies and their technical implications incorporated together into one object, the upshot is that we are apparently being confronted with the presence of an artificial mechanism specifically designed to illuminate and photograph scenes with a camera, and then broadcast the images to somewhere else. It could project itself to a specific location, levitate in place, perform its remote viewing task perhaps for only a few seconds, then disappear and return to its original point. But where would that origin point have been? U fologists and ancient astronaut theorists have been quick to seize upon this out-of-place object as being proof of an extraterrestrial visitation, possibly a spaceship seen by the artist. The problem is, there is nothing especially alien about this device. In fact, every one of its aspects is recognizable as the product of a purely earth-bound technology. The real mystery is not one of place but one of time. The sudden appearance of somet hing displaying elements of a futuristic technology in the sixteenth century strongly suggests that this is ultimately where it must have come from, the future. Either that, or it was a projection far forward from a lost advanced civilization long disappeared that developed along technological lines not that much different from our own today. The questions remain, what exactly did the artist see, and why did he portray it in the manner shown in his painting?

U ndoubtedly, Salimbeni regarded his encounter as a God-given vision, and through his artistry sought to comprehend it in that context. The device could have suddenly and unexpectedly appeared before him as if out of thin air, then quickly vanished after only a few seconds. But having an artistic eye sensitive to details, he very likely immediately made sketches of what he saw so he could later better remember it and portray it in the larger and more permanent masterpiece work we see today. Steeped in a church-oriented upbringing and education, Salimbeni could only interpret his experience as heaven-sent. This may be why, in his painting, he placed the object among the Trinity, because in his time period they were the only acceptable source of truly miraculous events. Being a good Catholic, and having been responsible for numerous other art pieces of a religious theme, there would have been no question in Salimbenis mind of the true origins of the apparition. The fact that the object had hovered before him with no earthly supports could only mean that it had been held aloft by t he hands of Divine Providence, and he deliberately pictured it that way. The artist may very well have thought that the sphere in his vision symbolized the universe, and purposely reinterpreted the two exterior items he saw on its surfacethe light and the camera lensas being the greater illumination and lesser illumination of the sky, namely the sun and moon. Luckily, Salimbenis excellent memory overcame his desire to reduce everything he saw to a religious context. H e preserved enough details in his painting that he could not fully understand in his day, but which we, in our time, seeing through our modern technological eyes, can better recognize. R ather than being heaven-sent, the evidence instead points to the mysterious device having been time-sent. As to just when in history, either past or future, it was sent from remains the real unanswered enigma. Joseph Robert Jochmans.
