This isn't Lumi and I'm not a UFO person, I just thought it was interesting they put them in pictures for some unknown reason.

I could care less about religion, I just wanna know why there's UFOs in old ass paintings!

The only thing comparative I know of, is the Hindu dudes talking about their 8 armed gods flying around in the sky and battling each other. The stuff in these pictures aren't "divine" origin though, they're metal ships.

Non-divine, sky phenomenon didn't become popularized until the 20th century, I'm pretty sure. I know there's some old, native American groups that claim we came from "star people" or some crap, but even they don't talk about people flying around in metal ships in the sky.

Trying to analyze/explain something from 500 years ago with a relatively new idea, like the modern UFO, is generally going to be a fail. Don't look at it through the lens of someone of the 21st century. Think about why the artist might have painted it, and how his audience might have looked at it. Answer: most likely a depiction of the sun/moon and done so with a mixture of old pagan and new Christian ideas. Or aliens.

I don't know, depicting the moon via painting it as if it's a flying vessel with someone inside it?

How about the Nazca lines? How are they explained? They're not visible from the ground, and in fact I don't think were discovered until someone flew over them in the early 20th century.

I'm not saying "I don't know, therefore aliens" but I am saying there's more to it than simply odd depictions of stellar bodies, at least in some of the cases. UFOs may not be a new idea. I mean, there's accounts of what might be interpreted as UFO activity in various religions including christianity.

It's just enough to keep you wondering.
