Some modern biblical scholars are beginning to take a new look at the stories in the bible and see if there are possible extraterrestrial explanations. The prophet Elijah was walking down the Jordan River when a chariot of fire appeared. Some believe that this could be mistaken for a UFO. Moses, too, might have been guided by alien protectors during the exodus. When the Red Sea was parted during the exodus, some biblical scholars think that it was in fact a UFO using its engines to spread the waters apart.
