A box has been found containing detailed drawings of alien beings, an
unidentified flying object, and transcripts exploring the link between
alien encounters and ancient religions.
A user on the social media platform Imgur posted a series of photos showing the
contents of an old wooden box, roughly 29 inches by 38 inches, that his
friend found in the garbage. The post had more than 250,000 views as of
Monday morning, about 20 hours after the user uploaded it. It has not
been independently verified.
The musty box contains clues, but also raises many questions—it’s a mystery.
It appears to have belonged to a man named Daniel J. Christainsen who
lived in Florida but was a native of the Netherlands. He may have been a
WWII veteran—the box contained a blank paper with the Veterans
Administration Medical Center header. He may have been an engineer, or
at least was technically inclined—the box contained technical drawings
of roller bearing designs. He seems to have had an alien encounter.
He writes of “an apparition on the Tampa Bay Observation” on July 7, 1977
.

He draws alien beings and describes them: “Every one had four faces and every one had four wings.”
One of the faces appears humanoid, while the other three appear
animal-like—a cow-like creature and bird-like creature are among them.
The humanoid figure has hoofs for feet.
Christiansen recalls biblical references he feels refer to alien
encounters. It is unclear whether his drawings relate to his own
experiences or whether they are depictions of historical accounts. He
also references a sighting in Brazil in 1967 by an American tourist.
He writes in reference to the biblical account by Ezekiel: “The fire
that had the colour of amber had to await the day when electric lights
were available on earth before it would allow a literal interpretation;
so would the eyes of the creatures and … the wheels need to await the
day of electronics and television before a reasonable interpretation
would be possible.
“It would in fact be necessary to await the many technological
inventions before interpreting the 2,500 years old experience, which
Ezekiel found expedient to call visions.”
The figures with the animal heads recall figures from ancient paintings and sculptures.

In Tibet and some other regions, deities were sometimes depicted with
the head of a horse or other animal. Sometimes the animal head was the
main head, but sometimes the deity would have multiple heads, one or
more of which would be animal heads. The drawings also recall the Greek
minotaur (man-bull figure referenced in Greek mythology) and similar
figures.
