Ezekiel, Chapter 1, Verse 4, reads as follows:Īnd I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. This description, which is dated by scholars as occurring in approximately 600 BC, took place when Ezekiel was among the captives in Chaldea by the Chebar River. The most often quoted account of a biblical UFO occurs in the Book of Ezekiel. Everything which follows in this section should be read in the light of this. It is a very valuable document but it cannot be regarded as completely accurate. This does not make it worthless – far from it. Numerous scholarly researchers have shown that not only has it been through different translations, but several different scribes have worked on it, some with political motivations of varying kinds, thereby introducing considerable potential for inconsistency. The Bible is not completely accurate as an historical document. The Annunciation with Emidius, by Carlo Crivelli There are even mysterious depictions of UFOs in art, in a diverse array of paintings such as the 18th-century ‘Baptism of Christ’ by Aert de Gelder.

The Bible even refers to his other worldly origins. UFO references in the Bible can be looked at in the context of who the Master Jesus really was – a Cosmic Master. What, we might wonder, will future generations make of a culture which described extraterrestrial spacecraft as “flying saucers”, or “cigar-shaped objects”? The terminology of some of these archaic UFO accounts may be unfamiliar to us, but, when viewed objectively, the words used are in fact no less primitive than those used in modern times. Whatever your views on the UFO phenomenon – it is certainly not new. It is extraordinary how many UFO accounts there are in ancient records and religions – from totally different places, periods of history, cultures and belief systems. Including, perhaps the most famous of all, the Star of Bethlehem. The Holy Bible contains some of the oldest UFO sightings on record.
