Look Up In the Air

Bible Reading:  Acts 1:1-11

Key Verse: Verse  11 - “Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

Key Wordsshall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven


Twice in the summer of 1952, UFOs were picked up on radar screens at Washington's National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base. They seemed to be buzzing the White House and Capitol.


Near midnight on July 19, flight controllers at National saw “seven pips” clustered together in one corner of the radar screen.  They would “loaf along” at 100 to 130 miles per hour, then suddenly accelerate to fantastic speeds – as much as 7,200 mph – before vanishing.  Andrews radar technicians observed blips, too, and airline pilots saw bright lights in the sky.  But when air force jets investigated at dawn, the lights had disappeared.


The press swarmed the Pentagon.  Intelligence officers blamed temperature inversions, but experienced air traffic controllers asserted that the blips represented substantial objects.  How else could radar have detected them?


Later that week, amber lights were seen elsewhere in the sky, including over the Guided Missile Long-Range Proving Ground in Florida.  Then on July 26, more blips appeared on a Washington radar screen.  A jet sent in pursuit couldn’t even get close.  Three days later, the air force called a press conference, it’s largest and longest since World War II.  Officially, the UFOs were debunked as a weather phenomenon.  Nonetheless, the eerie sightings remained a mystery to many.


One day though, soon I hope and pray, there will be an identifiable Person who breaks through the eastern sky.  Jesus will come to earth and establish His Millennial reign on earth.  Are you ready for His return?

What to do:

Don’t be looking for UFOs.  Be ready for the Lord’s return.
