Angels? Demons? Extraterrestrials? A sign of the 'Second Coming'? A Religious Leader... A Biblical Scholar... A UFO Researcher... And An Emmy Award Winning Journalist reveal: The Bible is full of descriptions of UFOs that interacted with the Prophets of the Old and New Testaments. For the first time five experts in their individual fields re-examine the Holy text in light of our current knowledge of space travel and UFO related phenomenon, offering a number of startling conclusions: The Tower of Babel was a spaceport presided over by godless scientists; God once walked the Earth in physical form; The Star of Bethlehem in all probability was flying saucer ushering in His arrival; The parting of the Red Sea was a miracle performed by extraterrestrials who had befriended the Israelites and 'levitated' them across the Red Sea; That a giant spacecraft could possibly have landed upon Mount Sinai and given Moses the 10 Commandments. Furthermore, there is evidence says a member of our investigative team that at least one known Biblical figure went for a ride in a UFO. It is also revealed that God may still be communicating to an 'inspired few' members of a secret society that may possess a device that acts as sort of a 'transceiver' between the Lord and the 'Chosen Few'. And that members of the Royal Family of England believe thy have a 'direct link' to Higher Realms as they are in possession of a stone with magical properties which is used as a pillow which now rests in Westminster Abbey, upon which Kings an Queens have been crowned for centuries.

The thesis of this book is that the Bible contains stories of beings, angels that come down from the sky, and are sometimes associated with objects in the sky such as the "pillar of cloud by day, and pillar of fire by night," which led the Jewish Exodus from Egypt. This UFO is similar to modern UFOs, which one military pilot described as looking like a Tic Tac, cylindrical, white or cloud like in color, about 40 feet long, rounded on each end, with no visible propulsion system. It seems likely that the UFOs seen in modern times are related to the same reality that started the biblical religion in both its Old and New Testament forms. Chapter 3 studies the book of Exodus in great detail, explaining how the Exodus UFO (pillar of cloud and fire) apparently used its propulsion system to part the Red Sea. In the New Testament, it is argued that our modern alien/angels were probably the power that raised Jesus from the dead, and carried the risen Jesus to the Damascus Road where the Apostle Paul was converted (Acts 9). This book has some parallels with Erich Von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods?", but differs from Von Daniken in that it is argued that the aliens are not "gods," as Von Daniken suggests, but rather beings who have a high knowledge of God, and created the Biblical religions, in both their Jewish and Christian form, to move the human race away from idolatry, and toward a more spiritual sense of the divine reality. Chapter V asks, "Where is Heaven?" and explores the possibility that the resurrection stories of Jesus, where he is able to enter locked rooms after his resurrection, suggests that heaven may be "another dimension" in the midst of us. Modern UFOs are reported to appear and disappear in an instant, suggesting they too may be part of a multi-dimensional reality. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is offered as a clue to understanding some of the strange resurrection stories. This book is an attempt to make sense of biblical stories that suggest the presence of extraterrestrial powers, and to examine modern UFO stories for evidence that biblical angels, and modern aliens, may be the same reality.

“Starting from the Old Testament these pages address the story of what is often not highlighted or, worse, deliberately forgotten or interpreted differently in order to conceal the potential disruptive effects.”—Mauro Biglino Did a distant race of ancient aliens once inhabit the lands of the Bible? Do the ancient writings of the Bible and other texts provide proof of their existence? Did the “prophets” have close encounters with ancient aliens? Were the “angels” physical beings sent to perform specific tasks by their alien masters? Ancient Aliens in the Bible answers these questions and more. Analyzing the historical and archaeological evidence, and using the work of former Vatican translator Mauro Biglino as his guide, Xaviant Haze provides ample proof that what our ancestors described in ancient biblical texts were real-life events and not visions. The UFO encounters in the Bible are described as concrete experiences by flesh-and-blood beings. The angels were assigned specific duties and struggled to carry them out; some even rebelled and took earthly wives, forbidden by their superiors. Ancient Aliens in the Bible reveals that: • Lamech’s wife gave birth to the son of an angel with glowing eyes. • Moses was led to the promised land by UFOs. • Noah’s great-grandfather, Enoch, got a heavenly tour of space. Your view of the Bible will never be the same.

Why do people accept ideas that are contradicted by science or logic? In Implausible Beliefs, Allan Mazur offers a comparative look at the nature of irrational belief systems, their social roots, and their cultural and political impact. He begins by providing standards for judging beliefs implausible and assessing the impact of such belief systems onpolitics and social policy in the US. Mazur describes and defends commonsense criteria for establishing that certain views should not be sustained in the face of present-day understanding. He presents a statistical portrait of implausible beliefs rampant in the US, and who tends to accept them. Mazur applies criteria for implausibility to the Bible, astrology, and visitation to Earth of intelligent beings from other worlds. Pointing out that everyone "knows" the Bible but few actually read it, the author scrolls through the first five books of the text, noting points that undermine the scripture's natural history and moral guidance. Working on the assumption that implausible religious views are fundamentally no different from implausible secular views, he critiques secular beliefs in astrology and UFOs. Mazur concludes the volume with an attempt to explain why most people accept implausibility—some more than others—despite evidence and logic that refute them. Looking to mainstream sociology and psychology, Mazur shows how children are socialized into such beliefs, and how adults are influenced by spouses and friends. Personality is also a factor, sometimes abetted by stressful or lonely life situations. Lucidly written, this is a provocative and informative contribution to social psychology, sociology, religion, political science, and American studies.

A voyage of exploration to the outer reaches of our inner lives. UFOs are a myth, says David J. Halperin—but myths are real. The power and fascination of the UFO has nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. It's about us, our longings and terrors, and especially the greatest terror of all: the end of our existence. This is a book about UFOs that goes beyond believing in them or debunking them and to a fresh understanding of what they tell us about ourselves as individuals, as a culture, and as a species. In the 1960s, Halperin was a teenage UFOlogist, convinced that flying saucers were real and that it was his life's mission to solve their mystery. He would become a professor of religious studies, with traditions of heavenly journeys his specialty. With Intimate Alien, he looks back to explore what UFOs once meant to him as a boy growing up in a home haunted by death and what they still mean for millions, believers and deniers alike. From the prehistoric Balkans to the deserts of New Mexico, from the biblical visions of Ezekiel to modern abduction encounters, Intimate Alien traces the hidden story of the UFO. It's a human story from beginning to end, no less mysterious and fantastic for its earthliness. A collective cultural dream, UFOs transport us to the outer limits of that most alien yet intimate frontier, our own inner space.
