4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north -- an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light.   The center of the fire looked like glowing metal [i.e. a UFO],

5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures.   In appearance their form was that of a man....

22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome.

23 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body [i.e. saucer-shaped].

24 When the creatures moved, I heard the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty Ones, like the tulmult of an army.   When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

25 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings.

26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.

27 I saw that from what appeared to be His waist up He looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down He looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him.

28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around Him.   This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahveh.   When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
