"As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings (strakes) 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. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither
was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature
(spirit of life) was in the wheels." (Ezekiel 1:18-20).
"And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible
crystal, stretched forth over their heads above." (Ezekiel 1:22).
The firmament over the heads of the living creatures is, of course the dome, and the "eyes round about" were
the portholes or observation openings of a Flying Disc or Saucer (Compare Adamski's photographs in
"_Flying Saucers Have Landed_"). The word "rings" can also be translated "strakes" which is a shipbuilding
term. It means one breadth of plates along the bottom or sides of a vessel reaching from stem to stern. Now
the first word "rings" in verse eighteen cannot be translated "strakes," therefore it should read: "As for their
rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their strakes were full of eyes round about them four." It
means that the counter-rotating rings of the underneath portion of the Saucer "were so high that they were
dreadful", and the strakes or sides of the Saucer which were composed of one breadth "were full of eyes round
about them four". This latter description means that all four Saucers had the porthole openings.
The phrase, "when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up", means that
when the occupants of the Saucers were in their ships, they both (creatures and wheels) left the ground
together.
The "firmament" or dome of the Saucers was like "the color of the terrible crystal". On top of each dome there
is a light or lamp that sends forth a terrifically bright beam. This corresponds to the "polar vent" area of our
own big "spaceship", the Earth. Usually this light is a "pulsating" light and changes colors. It would have
appeared "terrible" to Ezekiel, indeed.
"And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their
wings. And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a
sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his
loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of
fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain (the
rainbow), so was the appearance of the brightness round about." (Ezekiel 1:25-28).
In the November, 1953 issue of Mystic Magazine, Orfeo M. Angelucci told his story of contact with space
beings to Paul M. Vest. Here is part of what he said: "But even as the glowing red orb vanished two smaller
discs came from it. These discs were a soft fluorescent green and shot toward me like shooting stars. They
streaked down in front of my car and hovered about fifteen feet directly in front of me. I judged them to be
about thirty inches each in diameter. Hanging silently in the air like iridescent bubbles, their green light
fluctuated in pulsations. As I gazed at those two eerie balls of green fire I heard a masculine voice, strong,
well-modulated and speaking perfect English. The voice apparently came from between the two green discs."
Again, he said: "The glowing discs created a soft illumination, but I could see no person anywhere. The voice
stated that the small green discs were instruments of transmission and reception comparable to nothing
developed on Earth. Then the voice added that through the discs I was in direct communication with friends
from another planet." Then Orfeo said: "The area between the discs began to glow with a soft green light
which gradually formed itself into a kind of luminous screen as the discs themselves faded perceptibly. Within
that luminous, three-dimensional screen there appeared images of the heads and shoulders of two persons, as
though in a cinema close-up." He continued: "Those two figures struck me somehow as being the ultimate of
