THE UFO BRIEFING DOCUMENT CASE HISTORIES FILIPPO LIPPI's MADONNA Painting of the Madonna and Saint Giovannino, in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, attributed to the 15th Century school of Filippo Lippi. Photographs courtesy of CUFOS. A close-up of the upper left section of the painting shows an object in the sky, and below, a man and dog looking at the object. Further enlargement shows an oval or discoid craft with radiating gold spikes of light painted around its perimeter. In other words, what today would be called a UFO.
