They mention transoceanic travel, not aliens. Their mistake is assuming the popular presentation of Columbus being the first transatlantic traveller is accepted as fact by historians.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, parallel development of the swastika as a symbol is very possible. It is also possible that individuals or small groups travelled much greater distances than we typically imagine and shared information such as symbols with others around the world.
