I will now put down some information about UFOs and where they
are mentioned in the Bible.

The Book of Genesis Accounts of the Creation of Humans
We already have referred to the creation story as contained in
Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament in the Bible,
familiar to generations of Jews and Christians alike. We have
already seen that it has been known by Biblical scholars for more
than a century that a good part of Genesis is a much abbreviated,
heavily edited, Hebrewized and monotheised version of ancient
Sumerian texts. The Old Testament consists of a body of literature
that was written between the twelfth and second centuries B.C. Thus,
when the first books of the Bible were written, the Sumerian texts
had been written on clay tablets at least 1,300 years before
(~2,5500 B.C.) and the evidence indicates that the stories had been
orally passed down for hundreds and thousands of years before that.
I'm not saying the Genesis is nothing but an edited, monotheised
version of an ancient Sumerian test. Far from it! The Genesis
account of our creation might be a conflation of the Sumerian
creation story, and at lest one other creation story. There is some
evidence that the entity commonly known as Jehovah or Yahweh,
worshiped as the one and only God almighty by generations of Jews
and Christians, had his own creation and subsequent story which has
become entwined with the Sumerian story.
When one looks at the creation story in Genesis, one finds not one,
but actually three separate stories that relate to the biological
creation of humans. First, in chapter 1, verse 26 of Genesis of the
King James Version, we read. "and God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness..." Sitchin points out that is one example
of where the ancient Hebrew editors must have slipped. "Our image"
clearly refers to more than one "god". When the ancient hebrew
editors referred to this and a few other examples of plural gods,
Sitchin argues, they were probably copying from a
Sumerian/Mesopotamian text that told of the assembly of the Great
Anunnaki when they decided to create a "primitive worker" to replace
the Anunnaki workers in the gold mines. In the next verse we read,
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:27) Now "God" is
the one, masculine god depicted throughout most of the Old Testament.
We move to the second chapter of Genesis to read another version of
our creation;
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul.
As mentioned, Sitchin points out the word "clay" or "dust" came from
the Sumerian TI.IT, which means literally "that which is life".
Later this word assumed derivative meanings of "clay" and "mud" and
"egg".
Later, in Genesis, God turned his attention to creating a woman.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the
flesh instead thereof.
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
As discussed in chapter 3, Sitchin believes, that the above quoted
passage represents an unknown genetic manipulation to make humans
fertile because the first created humans, being a hybrid between two
species (the Anunnaki and Homo erectus), was infertile. From the
Bible only, all we can say is that in the first version of the
creation of humans, God created both male and female and in the
second version, God created a man, then a woman out of a rib of the
man.
In chapter 6, we find out about the third strong influence on
mankind:
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face
of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the
sons of God saw the daughters or men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which they chose...
There were giants in the earth in those days, and also
after that when the sons of God came in unto the daughters
of men and they bear children to them, the same became mighty
men which were of old, men of renown.
Pleiadian Accounts of the Origins of Humans
The Hebrew word Nefilim, which is translated as "giants" in the
above passage, actually and literally means, "those who have come
down", as we have seen from Sitchin's writings. Clearly, the Nefilim
means ETs that have come down to earth, as does the phrase "sons of
god". We don't know the details of these ET visitors, such as how
long they were here, and with how many of the daughters of men they
"came into", but clearly if a number of ETs left many babies with
the daughters of men at sometime in the distant past, they had to
have a significant genetic impact on humans. Possibly we all have
several strands of DNA that were formed on another planet or planets
in our DNA as a result of the "sons of god" having several
intercourse with the daughters of men.

JW The explanation given in this material might not be the exact
thing that happened in our past but it gives a good starting point
where to begin our study.
