In ufology some of the more interesting reports are radar-visual cases. A famous example is the series of sightings in 1952 over Washington DC where radars at multiple sights detected UFOs, and fighter pilots sent to investigate also visually detected UFOs (
1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident - Wikipedia ). There are various skeptical explanations for the reports, but they are more interesting than the typical single-witness UFO sightings.
What does Christianity have to compare with these? One interesting case that I know is the 1917 "Miracle of the Sun" in Portugal (
Miracle of the Sun - Wikipedia ). I don't find that case very persuasive, but it is an example of the types of cases that interest me if you know of any.
thanks.
UFO's seem to be many different things.. Sometimes they seem to be cover for secret aircraft development.. Governments wanting people who witness advanced aircraft being tested in the sky as being alien space craft..
But some UFO's i believe have a spiritual origin.. They are spirit manifestations.. They are cherub like spirits masqurading as visiting space craft to decieve people.. Maybe setting up the world for some future mass deception..
Ezekiel 10: KJV
8 "¶ And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings. {9} And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. {10} And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. {11} When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. {12} And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
{13}As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. {14} And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. {15} And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. {16} And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them. {17} When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. {18}
Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims. {19} And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. {20} This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims. {21} Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. {22} And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward."
