Изображение летающих объектов в немецком алхимическом тексте XVII века.
Looks the same as the ones on the ground?
Resistance is futile
Like the description already says, the illustration «shows the philosopher’s stone in action». And its title explains that the stone is «cast upon the earth, and exalted on mountains, and resides in the air, and is nourished in water». Most likely conclusion seems to me that that is exactly why we see the stone depicted on earth and mountain, in water and in air.
Now unless there’s good reason to assume the alchemist’s were referring to UAPs when talking about the Philosopher’s Stone, what does this have to do with UAPs?
i have a background in hermetic and alchemy so i can give a bit more info about this:
the text and image here shows alchemy and hermetical worldviews. and in this worldview there are different elements (earth,water,air,fire etc). you work with this elements and often use them to generate specific effects. there is as an example a technique where you collect a specific element and put it (in the form of energy) into a object or your body to generate a effect. this image here shows basically a specific hermetic / alchemetic process or idea visually. this isn’t meant to show actual physical cubes flying around.
quote: «All men, that have but once heard the name and power of the Stone, unless they be such as are altogether incredulous, do commonly **ask where it is to be found** , that they may run as it were by a straight line to it? The Philosophers answer in two places: first, that Adam brought it with him out of Paradise, **that it is in you, in me, and in every man** , **that birds flying carry it with them** out of far countries: **Secondly that it may be found in the earth, mountains, air, and water.**»
short: the image just shows «hey, the stone is existing everywhere.. in the air, earth, water etc». thats all. it isn’t intented to show a physical object flying around. its just a visual representation of the idea that the philosophers stone is found everywhere.
Submission Statement: Michael Maier’s work Atalanta fugiens (fleeing Atalante) can be considered one of the first truly multimedia texts. Printed in 1617, the book combines 50 pictorial plates (emblems) with accompanying German and Latin text, notes for a musical accompaniment, vocal text for three voices and a natural philosophical interpretation.The 50 emblems depict alchemical allegories and can be quite difficult to interpret. The emblem depicted above shows the philosopher’s stone in action and is titled: «The Stone, that is, Mercury, is cast upon the earth, and exalted on mountains, and resides in the air, and is nourished in water. »
The accompanying poem reads:
«The Stone, as refuse, is by some supposed/
Thrown upon the earth, to rich and poor disclosed:/
Some say it is on the highest mountains placed/
Some say in the air, in water some at last;/
What they all say is true, but I’d have you/
That noble prize in mountains to pursue.»
While this is NOT an account of a sighting, I haven’t seen it mentioned in this sub and thought some of you might find it interesting. A great translated edition of Atalanta fugiens can be found here: [https://furnaceandfugue.org/atalanta-fugiens/emblem36.html](https://furnaceandfugue.org/atalanta-fugiens/emblem36.html)

As above,so below.
The philosopher’s stone is an archaic term that refers to the attempts of alchemists to obtain secret knowledge such as transmutation and immortality through a mixture of science and occult practices.
So it does not surprise me in the least to see it represented like a cUbeFO as there is a link between the phenomenon and the occult.
So these are where my 3d6 go when I roll them off the table.
Skeptics back then: «it’s just a hay square floating».
Pretty much just looks like two blokes having fun with some paper lanterns. They got a few more to launch sittin behind them on the ground. So once again … Lanterns.
They look like bails of hay to me, flying bails of hay

They are not circular disk-like objects so not UAP so they must but be dimensional portals. Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
