There is something to be said about the night sky. Every dot of light is yet another sun with its own plethora of planets swinging in harmonic chaos as they drift in orbit. We are but a spec in the ever-expanding vastness that came to be when those first words were muttered from the mouth of God. Let there Be, and there was. And there are few heavenly events that capture our wonder more than a shooting star. To see a ball of light flash across the heavens is like witnessing a visitor from another world.

But what if there was more to that star than meets the eye? What if we looked up and instead of a quick glimpse at a rock burning up in our atmosphere, we witnessed something a bit less, identifiable? Now, what if you lived in a time where mapping the heavens was still your primary calendar and compass? These objects might just seem a bit more out of place than before. And if you witnessed something like that, I’m sure you would document it, right? I mean, you can’t just keep something like that to yourself. Lucky for us, that’s just what many of our beloved bible characters did.

Let’s face it. We love a good UFO story. From Roswell to Area 51, the idea of other-worldly visitors captivates that nagging feeling we have suppressed since we first began looking up. The idea that maybe, just maybe, we aren’t actually alone out here.

And Biblical history is loaded down with flying saucers, cigar-shaped hovercrafts, and beaming rays that would leave your friendly, neighborhood dairy cow shaking in their hooves. So let’s take a flight back through history and see what we can discover. Life is vast and oh so mysterious so why not take a look at things from a new perspective? We might be amazed to learn we aren’t as alone as we often believe when we gaze up at the stars.
