Opening Quote;
The Book of Ezekiel
"In the story of Ezekiel's throne chariot, this flying vehicle that doesn't seem to have any means of propulsion, if we thought of the word 'angel' as representing something like celestial energy, it sounds much more like a spacecraft then because some of the angels are going back and forth. Well, that sounds like flames. That sounds like propulsion. Some of them are wheel-like. Well, those sound like flying saucers."
