Is this a UFO in the background?

Those aren't UFOs. Those two objects in the upper corners are the sun and the moon
Whoa you're right, people on a TV show thought they were ancient alien shuttles too, so fruballs because that was a great answer.

Thanks
The way I see this painting is that it is about a specific event during the crucifixion.
You see the apostles to Jesus' right and Harod to his left, and an angel on either side of him, ready to take him to heaven.
According to the story, if I remember it correctly, at the moment of Jesus' death the sun and the moon shared the sky(an eclipse) as the earth quake.
Makes sense that since the artist couldn't draw an eclipse, he drew the "celestial beings" opposite each other on the painting.

Well then, as I've researched, it's not UFO (let's not take "Dan Brown type of interpretations" that seriously) but the grace of God (or perhaps the Flying spaghetti monster). See that it's actually a cloud and has some rays of light on it. And as said earlier, it's somehow similar to the nativity star too.
I'm gonna agree with you two, it probably is a cloud covering the sunlight

If you believe that it's actually a UFO, then you might as well too believe that the Pope or the Vatican has a connection with the ET's. Seen a show on TV which says that stuff, and they're actually using the paintings as "evidence" to that.

Yeah, it's a pretty good show too
I liked the books the show has made

When I watched that show on TV, it made me think actually if the MIB are actually just priests, wearing black cassock.

No problem here....
Whether it be in artwork such as paintings or cave drawings or figurines there's always multiple interpretations. I have my doubts like most but then there are some things that appear a little harder to explain.
Haha yeah, that was one of my favorites parts, especially right after it when he replies "Because I choose to"
No, it wasn't your imagination. I saw a full moon once and then my grandmother died a few months later. It was kinda spooky.

I heard a weird fact that nobody dies more a than a couple of weeks or so before or after a full moon. Let's see the skeptics explain that one.
LOL that would be freaky seeing the death rate stay the same two weeks each month
