Marcosians

There are several references to strange orbs of light throughout the Gnostic Gospels as well.

And speaking of the Gnostics, a particular sect of Gnostics called the Marcosians spoke of two gigantic superhuman beings that lived in the sky on either side of the moon.

And if you're thinking of the Kordylewski clouds, yes, we are on the same page, because this seems beyond coincidence.

What is even more startling is what they called one of these beings.

There is another Latin text existing in a palimpsest, which Tischendorf assigns to the fifth century and asserts to be much nearer the ancient Greek copy than any of the other manuscripts.

It seems pretty clear from the contents of the book that its author was a Gnostic, a Docetist, and a Marcosian, and it was held in estimation by the Nasashines and the Manichaeans.

Its bearing upon Christian art and to some extent Christian dogma is well known.

The Greek of the original is by no means good, and the Latin translator has in many cases mistaken the meaning of common Greek words.
