Indeed, I remember hearing about some ancient cultures (like the Egyptian for instance) who spoke of their Gods as riding into the clouds on great vehicles. It is also intriguing that many of the Egyptian Gods were humanoid in stature, but their appearance were obviously not human. Take Thoth, for instance. The Egyptians describe him as an "Ibis-headed entity." My guess is that they didn't know a better way to describe him. Some authorities like to theorize that these ancient Gods were actually visiting aliens.
