- A body core with a bright interior
- A conical or teardrop-like structure
- Radial outflows extending in multiple directions
- A directional orientation toward a focal point
And the most provocative detail emerges when you examine the lower half of the fresco in high resolution. The two mysterious “craft” appear to be moving in opposite directions.
One is angled downward, the other slightly upward, almost as if maneuvering around the scene rather than serving as static icons. That is not how medieval artists painted metaphors. That is how eyewitnesses paint motion.
Avi Loeb often talks about humility in the face of data. He warns that refusing to investigate anomalies is worse than being wrong. If he were handed this fresco with no context and asked to categorize it on the Loeb Scale, he would likely note the same structural anomalies the rest of us see.
No one is claiming this fresco proves extraterrestrial presence. But it does prove that human beings, even centuries ago, saw things in the sky they could not explain — objects they depicted with remarkable accuracy, objects that resemble the same interstellar signatures we are struggling to decode today.
As 3I/ATLAS approaches its closest pass on December 19, 2025, humanity is entering a historic moment where ancient eyewitness testimony and modern astrophysical investigation suddenly intersect. Interstellar visitors may not be as new to Earth as we assume. And the deeper we look into our own past — from petroglyphs to manuscripts to sacred art — the more patterns emerge.
Whether 3I/ATLAS is a natural traveler or an engineered artifact, history may have been whispering clues for far longer than we realized. The fresco at Visoki Dečani is not evidence. But it is a reminder. Humanity has always looked up. And sometimes, what we saw was not symbolic at all.
