The prophet Ezekiel's "vision", recorded in the bible, is thought by some to be a UFO sighting. His description is of a strange "vehicle" coming from the sky and landing near the Chebar River (or canal) in Chaldea (now Iraq) in the fifth year of the Judean captivity (592 B.C.) under Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon:
"What kind of 'machine' was this?" Ezekiel continues: And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And from this was their appearance: they had the form of men, but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and, the face of an eagle at the back, and their wings were spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies. And each [creature] went straight forward, without turning as they went, And the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning."
Who were these humanoid "occupants"? Space-helmeted, space-suited astronauts with a strapped-on flying device? Or, perhaps, extraterrestrial flying robots? The account continues:
"Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of a chrysolite, being as it were a wheel within a wheel, The four wheels had rims and they had spokes; and their rims were full of eyes round about. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose."
Were these humanoids going back and forth into a green-glowing spacecraft surrounded by a ring of portholes? But there is more:
", there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness as it were of a human form. And upward from, his loins I saw as it were gleaming bronze, and there was brightness, like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of the rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about, And when I saw it, I heard the voice of one speaking."
Ezekiel is told that the Israelites have transgressed and are to be punished unless they obey the Lord's commandments. Ezekiel is selected as the messenger to his people and is taken on board ("the spirit lifted me up"). The spacecraft takes off ("I heard, the sound of the wheels, that sounded like a great earthquake"), and Ezekiel is carried to Tel-abib where his fellow exiles are and where he sits "overwhelmed among them seven days," traumatized by his experience. (Ezekiel 1-3) (As we can see from contemporary UFO encounters, this could be interpreted as an almost classic report of the abduction and return of humans.)

Do you realise that even an airplane of unknown origin can be regarded as a UFO?

OMG I expected much from u. You mentioned an Airplane. And even if it comes from an unknown origin (doesnt apply to UFO's definition ), it is an Airplane because you can identify it. Men UFO's exist and i've seen one. |

Exactly what i was trying to bring out in your post. The dumbness of it. And yes, you've seen something like that written before because i was the one that wrote it to showcase another dumb post just like yours.

You are not making sense at all. Too many Syllables. I need contributions not insults. |

My Guy Has Been Reading Erika Cheetham. Read them in JS1 was Almost fooled by such gist. Though they were really entertaining. Try looking for Edgar Cayce's too. Plenty of Jargons for Your Idle Time. Enjoy |
