The UFO - Jesus Connection
THE UFO - JESUS CONNECTION
by
David E. Twichell
Infinity Publishing Co. (2001)
The ancient astronaut and Biblical UFO hypotheses are not new. However, no one
seems to want to take the matter to the next logical step. If Ezekiel’s
"wheel within a wheel" and Moses’ "pillar of fire and cloud"
were forerunners of today’s UFOs, then the Star of Bethlehem and the brilliant
cloud to which Jesus ascended must be treated in the same vein.
When Biblical descriptions of anomalous aerial phenomena are overlaid on that
of modern-day UFO reports, the picture seems to meld as one. Once the evidence
has been presented, the reader is led to a conclusion that is at best convincing
and at least though provoking.

PREFACE
The ancient astronaut and Biblical UFO hypotheses are not new. However, no one
seems to want to take the matter to the next logical step. If Ezekiel's
"wheel within a wheel" and Moses' "pillar of fire and cloud" were forerunners
of today's UFOs, then the Star of Bethlehem and the brilliant cloud to which
Jesus ascended must be treated in the same vein.
How can one make a connection between ufology and Christianity without suggesting
that God is nothing more than an alien in a flying saucer? The two concepts
appear to be so far apart that an expansive void exists between them. The answer
is to bridge that void with knowledge.
Although I have presented many documented cases in this book to dramatize the
immense volume of evidence supporting the existence of the UFO/abduction phenomenon,
I have not necessarily written it for the expressed purpose of convincing the
reader of its reality. I present it to dramatize the evidence that led me to
the conclusions of my own belief system.
Too many people feel that their belief system is the right one and are close
minded to any theories based on the facts. Even though their own beliefs are
based on "faith" that flies in the face of all known facts. Their parents, grandparents,
priests, ministers and rabbis have formed their reality. It is much easier to
let someone else do their thinking for them than to analyze the facts for themselves
and draw their own conclusions.
This fact is why the "Flat Earth Society" still exists to this day. "The Bible
says that angels guard the four corners of the Earth. How could the Earth
have four corners if it is round?"
"If the Earth was round, when Jesus comes back down from heaven, He would slide
right off. How could he light on a round Earth?"
This is the kind of logic that has been passed down from generation to generation.
It is much more convenient and less thought provoking to accept this logic than
to use one's own. Copernicus was imprisoned by the church for such heresy as
suggesting that the Earth is not the center of the universe. Some people hold
this concept to be true today.
When I was in grade school, before the first space flight, my science teacher
told us that if we were to go into space, we would find that the Earth was green.
This color was a reflection of the earth's foliage off the ionosphere. We learned
that the Milky Way was one of only seven galaxies in the universe.
Mainstream science thought they knew everything there was to know at that time,
as they do today. Now we look back one hundred years and laugh at their arrogance.
At the turn of the twentieth century they looked back one hundred years and
laughed at their arrogance. I have a distinct feeling that at the turn of the
twenty-second century, they will look back at the science of today and laugh
at ours.
If the truth runs contrary to the conventional world view, so be it. Mainstream
science, throughout history, has consistently proven that the truth runs contrary
to the world view of the previous century.
And what of an afterlife? A heaven . . . or a spiritual realm? Communication
between souls, living and dead? Fifty years ago ESP (extrasensory perception)
was so much nonsense. A parlor trick. Today it is not only accepted by mainstream
science, it is used to explain away virtually every unknown phenomenon of the
mind from spirit communication to the near death experience. Too many incidents
have occurred in my life to dismiss out of hand the existence of this phenomenon.
If we, as a race, are to evolve technologically, emotionally and spiritually,
we must be willing to accept the facts that we learn along the way and not dwell
on the dogmas of our ancestors. Not that what our ancestors witnessed and reported
were incorrect. Much to the contrary. Perhaps it is a simple matter of interpretation.
Over the centuries we have learned that the clash of thunder and the streak
of lightning did not indicate that the gods were angry. We have learned that
the moon was not something to fear and throw stones at. That the eclipse of
the Sun does not mean that it is being devoured by a dragon.
The proper knowledge yields the proper interpretation of any phenomenon. Does
this mean that to accept UFOs as a reality we must throw out all we know and
believe about the Bible? Should we listen to those who say, "you can't believe
in UFOs and God too."? Once again, much to the contrary. The trick comes with
integrating the new facts with the old. Scientific and intellectual development
is much like a good mystery novel. The facts are laid out for all to see, page
by page.
If one is able to recall the clues given in chapter, one and incorporate them
with the ones given in chapter ten, it won't take a Sherlock Holmes to figure
out that the butler did it before the final page is turned.
The volumes of clues, that the world has been given, at the time of this writing,
are enormous. If we keep the clues given in the Bible separate from those of
science, we must have two different belief systems. If we weigh the mass of
evidence gathered from around the world, concerning UFO and spiritual phenomena,
against that of mainstream science, then two other belief systems are born.
There are virtually as many belief systems in this world as there are believers.
Yet, I can assure you, there is but one reality. If that reality is a culmination
of many dimensions, then that is the one reality to which I refer.
I have spent the last thirty-six years studying the UFO phenomenon . . . pro
and con. I have studied metaphysics . . . pro and con. I have studied mainstream
science and the Bible. For every question answered, there are ten more questions
posed. If I were to subscribe to one paradigm as gospel, I would have no choice
but to throw out all other known facts in spite of the legitimacy of their existence.
It is by finding and incorporating that common thread that helps to make the
puzzle complete.
What I propose in this volume may not be the last word on the matter. It may
well be as far off base as one could get. However, it is a theory based upon
the culmination of my findings and personal experiences through the years. I
ask you only to examine the evidence, add your own knowledge and personal experiences
and draw your own conclusions. If you are right, you're right. If not . . .
keep digging.
Do not think that to even consider such a hypothesis is blasphemous. Blasphemy
requires the element of intent. If one intends to degrade, discredit, or otherwise
distort the truth regarding something held sacred, this is blasphemy. I can
assure you that such is not the intent in this case. To examine the evidence
and arrive at an erroneous conclusion is simply a mistake. I cannot imagine
a loving Father who would banish his own child to an eternity of torment for
seeking the truth and drawing the wrong conclusion.
Now open your mind. Let's explore!

READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID
.
 Make the Connection.
David E. Twichell makes the connection between what you think you know about
the Bible, UFO's, and Jesus' life and times and what you were always told was
so, much more interesting and a lot more exciting! He also adds his own poignant
encounter(s) with the unexplained for more than good reason. Twichell's explorations
and investigations into the UFO enigma and biblical scholarship will undoubtedly
urge any thinking reader to re-examine their own beliefs - and with good reason!
Any writer, who can do this, is simply brilliant and Twichell is no exception.
David E. Twichell is surely to be added to the growing list of luminaries
who has bloomed out the once "old staunch Midwest" view of the world.
This surprising new view which Twichell embodies is breathing fresh air onto
the ever-expanding landscape of inner/outer exploration, enlightenment and personal
core knowledge.
The UFO - Jesus Connection is a most splendid adventure and well
worth the reader's time and investment. I highly recommend this book
to you. The UFO-Jesus Connection will challenge what you think you know and
you will come away knowing what you never thought was so!

"THE UFO - JESUS CONNECTION."
In The UFO - Jesus Connection, author David E. Twichell shows how aliens have
interacted with people since the days of Biblical contact with angels. The ancient
astronaut and Biblical UFO hypotheses are not new. However, Twichell claims
no one seems to want to take the matter to the next logical step. As Twichell
states,"If Ezekiel's 'wheel within a wheel and Moses' pillar of fire and cloud'
were forerunners of today's UFOs, then the Star of Bethlehem and the brilliant
cloud to which Jesus ascended must be treated in the same vein." Twichell's
book opens with his family's nighttime encounter with a UFO in the summer of
1962.
At the age of 14, Twichell, his older sister Ann, and their parents witnessed
a green sky and a billowy cloud hovering above the roof of their home, which
contained yellow, red, and white round lights. Twichell's mother declared it
was the second coming of Christ, but willingly recanted that statement the next
morning when the Detroit Free Press reported it was just "Northern Lights."
This report satisfied Twichell's mother and most Detroiters, except for Twichell,
who never forgot the experience.
AAER staff have met Dave Twichell, his wife Laura, and sister Ann. They are
very intelligent people who do not exaggerate the truth even though they are
uncertain why so many unusual things have happened to their family. Since the
Twichells are familiar with the abduction scenario, AAER asked if they had considered
the possibility that maybe their whole family was abducted that night in 1962
for which the aliens may have blocked their memories? It is a question without
an answer.
Twichell's book nicely blends his family's personal encounters with ghosts,
death, precognition, NDE's, OBE's, astral travel, angels and religion. Readers
familiar with popular books of the 1960's and 1970's will appreciate Twichell's
discussion of Edgar Cayce, Kirlian photography, the shroud of Turin and more,
to better understand events of today.
Always respectful of his religious upbringing, Twichell never offends any readers,
no matter what their religious background might be. The book's cover photo features
a famous 15th century painting depicting Mary and the baby Jesus with a man
and a dog in the background pointing to a UFO in the sky. It is a painting which
begs for an explanation as to its true meaning.
Twichell's book is enjoyable reading and will take readers back to their spiritual
moments when they wondered, was there a connection between UFOs and Jesus?
REVIEW BY MARILYN RUBIN OF THE "ALIEN ABDUCTION EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH"
WEB SITE. http://www.abduct.com
Book review of "The
UFO-Jesus Connection"
Just the title of David Twichell's book, will be sufficient to deter those with
narrow-minded and dogmatic religious or 'scientific' beliefs, from even reading
the brief overview on the back cover. And from the outset, Twichell acknowledges
that, "The ancient astronaut and Biblical UFO hypotheses are not new."
What is new, however, is the way Twichell tackles the subject, dividing the
book into three parts: UFO's and The Physical Realm; Jesus Of Nazareth And The
Spiritual Realm; The Connection. In addition, he combines an interesting and
diverse range of sources of information starting with his own personal 'encounter'
(with multiple witnesses) and experiences; accounts from friends and work colleagues
when he was serving in the US Army; photos and accounts referenced from other
books on the subject including the Bible - in fact, hardly a stone has been
left unturned!
Although the overall subject, and where Twichell takes it, is currently controversial
in our modern 'we know it all - can explain it all' culture, Twichell reminds
us that, "Copernicus was imprisoned by the church for such heresy at suggesting
that the earth is not the center of the universe." And referring back to his
school days, before the first space flight, when he was told that such a flight
(in the future) will show the earth to be green and the Milky Way was one of
only of seven galaxies, Twichell also reminds us, "Mainstream Science thought
they knew everything there was to know at that time, as they do today. At the
turn of the twentieth century they looked back one hundred years and laughed
at their arrogance. I have a distinct feeling that at the turn of the twenty-second
century, they will look back at the science of today and laugh at ours." Twichell
is not alone, nor the first to point this out, and the point he makes is best
summed up in the quote: "That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation,
often becomes the height of wisdom in the next." John Stuart Mill.
Finally, Twichell explains, "I have not necessarily written it (the book) for
the expressed purpose of convincing the reader of its reality," and I concur
with the book-cover synopsis that, "Once the evidence has been presented, the
reader is led to a conclusion that is at best convincing, and at least thought
provoking."
