UFOS (Page 3) ghostgeek: Some people claim the Bible is full of UFO sightings. That Jesus Christ was an alien. Interesting, what? Blackshoes: No Ghost we've gone over this all before ! In the Religion forums '. No point in hashing it all over again here .! Him_over_there: The 'Star of Bethlehem' was by all accounts a ancient UFO report, of an unusually bright object which moved through the sky accompanied on the ground by 'wise men' who followed and were fascinated by it; then the UFO stopped at a certain point where it shone upon an important event (the virgin birth of an artificially induced, or IVF and perhaps hybrid messiah). In fact the Christian Bible is full of unidentified flying objects and even aliens (Angels). The Exodus was led by a 'dove' from heaven. The spoken 'voice of God' emanated from the sky above Christ's baptism before he was 'taken up', etc. etc. Blackshoes: No the Bible Is fill with Prophesies, Facts, Miracles ,History, and God interaction with his creation . God inspired Holy men to write down these event so that we would believe On his son Jesus ! NO UFOs !! It just wishful thinking of those that cannot fathom God hand upon Mankind and the world (Edited by Blackshoes) Him_over_there: From what you've said 'Blackshoes' there's no reason to discount the possible existence of unearthly visitations, esp. in a book which is so redolent in supernatural accounts. Here I will juxtapose two examples of similar character yet separated by millennia: Him_over_there: 1. 4 And 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. 5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. Ezekiel 1;4-5 Him_over_there: 2. “When I first saw the object (when I thought it might be a car) I saw what appeared to be four legs of some type from the object to the ground. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to what it was — I thought it was an accident — I saw the two persons.” [These two occupants of child-like stature were apparently startled and ran back into the craft] “..Object slowly rose straight up. Flame was light blue and at bottom was sort of orange color From this angle, saw the side of object... Difficult to describe flame. Thought, from roar, it might blow up. Flame might have come from underside of object, Police report of a close encounter with landed UFO and crew by Sergeant Lonnie Zamora. 1964. Blackshoes: I just watched a Program on the CIA involvement about UFO .According to the Program ? The CIA used and promoted UFO sighting to hide the Governments testing of Top secret aircraft during 50s and up to the late 60s ? Him_over_there: This is true 'Blackshoes'; although the first sub-orbital manned rockets of the early 60s period were Mercury capsules on Redstone launch rockets weighing around 32 tonnes and towering over 83 feet high. The craft Sergeant Zamora observed had greater abilities for its size than any rocket yet devised. However The point of my response was to highlight the familiar pattern of both ancient and modern UFO sightings and close encounters. Him_over_there: Yes 'duncan124', Ezekiel is essentially a guy attempting to explain his unorthodox experiences using contemporary, orthodox religious terminology duncan124: I read some where that he was a kind of researcher for the local governor who wanted to find out what was going on in the north and the vision of Mr Alien the wheeled thing which no doubt others like us have seen is included to add veracity to his other accounts. lori100: "I looked out the window and saw this white light.It was zigzagging around. I went up to the pilot and said,Have you ever seen anything like that? He was shocked and he said, “Nope.” And I said to him: “Let’s follow it!” We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light.We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens. When I got off the plane I told Nancy all about it.” -President Ronald Reagen (Describing his 1974 UFO encounter to veteran newsman Norman C. Miller, then Washington bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal.) -----------------“Mission control, We have a UFO pacing our position, request instructions!” -Astronaut Cady Coleman NASA transmission shuttle mission STS-73-------------“All Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin – flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence.” -Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems (Edited by lori100) Him_over_there: They are covering up what is happening: in our skies, in space, and what they've found on the surface of our Moon: him over there's Picture Blackshoes: "Could n't all of Ezekiel be inspired by some sort of encounter??" No !The only view IMO Is just as he stated .After all he was there ! If you take the time to read the entire chapter it was a very usually event within the Bible . What Ezekiel describe is angelic and heavenly", not UFO or other worldly at all ! Ezekiel 1:5. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 1:6. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 1:7. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 1:8. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 1:9. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 1:10. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 1:11. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
