Nope
I have this picture (taken by <PERSON>) in my room of this giant kite from the late 1800’s. And it reminds me a lot of the Nope alien! So then I looked it up and found lots of other intricate, old kite designs that definitely could've been misinterpreted as ufos by ppl back in the day :-0
Also the long string of flags that the creature had trialing behind it, and the way it moved after it expanded, kinda makes me think <PERSON> was inspired by kites! Esp cuz there have been incidents the last few yrs where ppl thought fancy tech kites were ufos?? idk 322
