Because the Bible itself is a cover-to-cover account of countless paranormal events, it is no surprise that those who study and believe in unidentified flying objects find affirmation and evidence in scriptures. Whole books and web sites go to great length to show that the numerous storytellers of the Bible were actually explaining UFO sightings.Max Linden of Buckeye called me frustrated that he telephone nine preachers calling on them to read the first chapter of Ezekiel and to show him that it is NOT about a UFO sighting. Now, pastors regularly get calls out of the blue from people stumped or fascinated or having a Eureka! moment from reading scripture. Sometimes they need, but just cant find, that zinger verse they know theyve read that will win a discussion or provide the ammunition they need.Linden, at 90, has a sharp mind, a skill at talking, even if he has a hard time hearing. Im an old retired oil geologist who moved to Arizona a couple years ago from Colorado, he said. In the late 1950s, he explained, he was at the bow of a freighter in the Caribbean, hauling an oil-drilling rig that was chained down. To everyones astonishment, a UFO flew up out of the ocean in front of our freighter, he said. Millions of gallons of water shot into the air. It was like a big mushroom that blossomed out all around.If he had counted slowly to three, it was enough time for the phenomenon to disappear into the clear blue sky. There were no clouds, nothing. It was gone out of site. It was like the sea exploded as it emerged from the water. After that thing disappeared, that big wave was coming toward the ship. It hit the ship, and I thought it was going to turn it over.So I definitely believe in UFOs, he said. Absolutely, I know they exist under the ocean. Lyndon has been beside himself about that Ezekiel passage, its details, language and activity. Its as plain as day, he insists, so he calls pastors to share his insights and own story. They wont call me back, he said. Or they quickly tell him they have to go and I will call you back. But they dont. One pastor just threw up his hands and said he didnt understand it. But who cant read Ezekiel 1 and not think of standard Martians or extra-terrestrials? Read it yourself. From a Revised Standard Version translation: A great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth continually and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming bronze. And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures.. The had the form of men, but each of them had four wings . they sparkled like burnished bronze. In the midst of the living creatures, there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures, and the fire was bright. and the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning.Lynden said it gets more interesting from verse 15 as it talks of the wheel upon the earth like the gleaming of a chrysolite and when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. Verse 24 notes, And when they went, I heard the sound of many waters, like the thunder of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of a host Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord Theres more talk of wheels that could go in four directions in Chapter 10.Linden is convinced our biblical ancestors were visited. He can talk, at length, about propulsion, exhaust, contrails and wheel movement. But the pastors he calls wont seriously engage with him, and it important stuff. Ufology is full of stories that when Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd made flights over both the North Pole icecaps in 1947 and over Antarctica in 1956, he was amazed by strange phenomena including sighting holes into the earth. It fed stories that the earth is hollow and may house beings and their strange, amazing machines.The Buckeye man calls on clergy to consider his insights and not dismiss them as the government has so long been accused of doing. What he saw in the Caribbean is enough to make him believe. The ocean waters just dont explode like that, normally, he is certain. Then something go skyward and disappear so quickly. I saw it as it were gleaming bronze
