Primitive man & humans in general, have always, and will always, relate any unexplainable extraterritorial activity to The Bible.

A simple but relatively current (20th century) analogy (example):

Primitive peoples (Aboriginal peoples who may have originally migrated from Africa or Australia) occupied specific islands east/north/northeast of Australia during WWII. Some of those islands were being contested by the Axis & Allies during that war (the islands were needed for supply depots/warship bases/and most importantly AIRFIELDS).

After the war, Scientists/Missionaries/Explorers/Etc. upon reaching some of those affected islands noted that in "some" cases the natives had constructed crude appearing homemade images of modern airplanes (mono-planes/single winged). Upon investigation it was found that those people had fashioned those images in the hopes of bringing them back; like DUCK DECOYS...which attract real live ducks for duck hunters to shoot when they get within range of their shotguns. Although these particular natives didn't necessarily impart their desire to attack the airplanes, if they should return. Further investigation revealed that years earlier (1942/43) some of them had witnessed large birds flying in the sky, twisting and turning, and throwing thunderbolts at each other as they did so. Some of those very big birds cought fire, began trailing smoke and disappeared (into the sea). Some of the giant birds simply exploded. Then one day, they inexplicably never returned. This was the purpose of the "native's images of the airplanes"; to BRING THEM BACK. It was explained by the natives that they believed that they had witnessed "Gods fighting in the sky."

What they had actually observed were some Grumman Wildcats of the US Navy engaging A6M Zeros of the Imperial Japanese Navy in aerial combat (dog-fighting). The Wildcats were throwing their "thunder" of four .50 caliber machine guns against the Zeros which were replying with their little 7.7mm machine guns (and their large cannons). The natives didn't see them anymore, because the combatants (IJN & USN) had moved on (further north on their "Island Hoping Campaign" towards the Japanese Empire)...never to return.

Primitive peoples had seen something that they could not explain, and immediately associated it with religion (Gods).
