Question
Hello Rev. Woodward. Since you did so well on the last question I thought I send you another Bible jeophardy challenge......

If you study the words that describe me carefully
You will see that I am apparently some sort of machine.
I have been around for a very long time
So I don't understand what all the big deal is in these days by people who are surprised at my appearance.
What am I?
Where did you find me?
In ancient times I was called by the name of the man who first wrote about me.
What do people usually call me today?

Good luck...Doug

Answer
Hi Doug,
Good to hear from you again. This one has got me baffled. I will offer a suggestion but I am far from convinced that I have got it right. Stretching the clues a little we could be talking about Ezekiel's Wheel (see Ezekiel chapter 1). If this is right then technically this was a flying object that could not be identified and therefore today would be called a UFO.
I repeat that I am not convinced and would love to hear what the correct answer is!
