The Quimbaya planes (or Tolima planes) are gold artifacts found in Colombia and created by the Quimbaya civilization. Dated between 1000 BC and 1000 AD, many of the items are modern aircraft designs and are considered unexplained artifacts.

The models measure 5 to 7.5 cm each and are described in mainstream archeology as depicting birds, lizards, amphibians, and insects. Many of them are still on display in the Museum of Bogota.

What makes these airplane models so amazing is that they are aerodynamically accurate. In 1994, German aeronautical engineers Peter Belting and Konrad Lubbers created larger scale radio-controlled models of these artifacts. They proved that structures fly with both a simple single piston engine with a propeller and jet thrust.

The surprising realism of these artifacts is striking, especially when you consider that mechanical flight was not known until the flight of the Wright Brothers in 1903. How, then, did the pre-Columbian civilization in 1000 BC understand the advanced concepts of aerodynamics and wing design? After all, it was a civilization that had barely developed the ability to use bronze tools, still lived in brick buildings and used living flame for illumination.

There can be only one plausible explanation: at this time highly developed beings were present on Earth, who probably built these "winged flying machines". Quimbai's aircraft are miniature replicas of these aircraft. Quimbai's people probably believed they were magical creatures, and hoped that small versions of them would bring magical power to the owners of these golden artifacts. Probably these "aliens" flew on them, crossing continents and oceans, visiting many parts of the planet, as documented in many ancient scrolls.

There is also a version that the creators of ancient airplanes were not aliens from outer space at all, but completely earthly people, originally from the dead Atlantis. Most of the discovered gold items are made from an alloy of tumbaga with 30% copper, very similar to the mechanisms mentioned by Plato in his "dialogues about the lost Atlantis". And perhaps the "vimanas", the pilots described in the ancient Indian book "Mahabharata", flew on them.
