I assume you’re referring to the Illustration at 6:20, which actually is a depiction of the “Utsuro-bune,” a hollow object that washed ashore in 1803 carrying a woman who couldn’t speak Japanese. Some ufologists interpret the craft as a UFO (of course)-but it was by no means a “flying saucer.”

Some of the more iconic "UFO" depictions are simply us not understanding iconography of the time. There are exceptions, like the wood inlay of the commotion in the sky over Germany, but many of the "crafts" are iconographic depictions that would have been understood at the time as a symbolic representation and not a depiction of some flying unknown entity.

Of course, something else to keep in mind…people had been dreaming of flying since…well, people existed…some of these may be representative of what people from the future might do, or angels might do, or imagined “superior” creatures might do…not that they are depicted as something they actually saw, but rather a symbolic way of showing a knowledgeable audience that these individuals in the picture are meant to be perhaps a special class of angels or people from the future, maybe their descendants or aspects of God…remember, medieval art wasn’t intended to be realistic as later art styles were…pre-renaissance…so, more about telling biblical stories…we discussed this in art history class in uni…they didn’t paint with visual perspective either
