Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance : they had the likeness of a man. And everyone had four faces, and everyone had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.... When they went they went upon their four sides; and they turned not as they went. As for their wings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their wings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth the wheels were lifted up.</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B> </b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>593 BC; Chaldea, Iraq</b></I></div> <div> <I><B>Old Testament Prophet Ezekial watched a "wheel" descend from the sky.

At first, it ascended above the horizon, obliquely toward the east. Then it changed its direction and moved parallel to the horizon. It vanished in the southeast. I saw it for half a minute, and the light it gave out was prodigious. It lit up every object on the face of the country.

They were like dazzling specks of light, dancing and traipsing through' the clouds. One increased size till it became of the brilliancy and magnitude of Venus, on a clear evening. But I could see no body in the light. It moved with great rapidity, and coasted the edge of the cloud. Then it became stationary, dimmed its splendor, and vanished. I saw these strange lights for minutes, not seconds. For at least an hour, these lights, so strange, and in innumerable points, played in and out of this black cloud. No lightning came from the clouds where these lights were playing," wrote Astronomer John Staveley in the "Journal of Natural History and Philosophy and Chemistry."</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>1819-08-13; Amherst, MA</b></I></div> <div> <I><B>USA, Massachusetts, Amherst, 08/13/1819, 20:30, Professor of chemistry Rufus Graves watched a luminous object fall into the yard of his neighbor Erastus Dewey.
