believe it or not there have been more recent sightings of UFOs that are closely related to writings from the Bible.

Have there been any sightings of dragons, like the ones mentioned in Revalations?

That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.

the purpose of religion is like to say why something happens
Ex: 1000BC

Timmy: Look lightning how does that happen
Tom: Zeus causes it son
Timmy:Cool

they probably wont talk like that in 1000Bc but hey its an example.That was for long ago religion or Mythology. For now its for kinda like an excuse and meaning IMO(BTW i'm religious)

haha no i don't think so. there was a sighting within the past hundred years that is closely described by moses. "angels with 1000 eyes in giant wheels" i think it says. anyway there are people (atheists i might add) who claim to have experienced this.

The problem with this is the inherent confirmation bias in looking for examples of UFO "sightings" that might possibly be in some way related to any one of a number of ambiguous references in Revelation/Isaiah/your eschatological book of choice. The number of leaps you have to go through in order to make these connections undermines the connection you are trying to draw.

Also, do you have any references or links to some of the things you're specifically citing? I'd be interested to read some of them.
