This account appears in David Richie's UFO: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS AND RELATED PHENOMENA [MJF Books, NY, 1994, Page 87]:In my August 6th offering here about the sack of Orl'eans, France by the Huns, there was this:"When their prayer was ended, a third time... they mounted the wall, and looking forth they saw from afar, as it were, A CLOUD RISING OUT OF THE GROUND."Are such "historical reports" accurate? "Why the resort to clouds, and not anything else - a tangible thing for instance?The Hebrew Bible and Old Testament, and even The New Testament, are rife with clouds attending mankind, associated with divinity, like that in the Orl'eans tale:"And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud". [Genesis 9:14]"Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud". [Job 37:11]"Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven. [Matthew 26:64]And some (many?) modern UFO reports seem to indicate that UFOs have an affinity for water, and clouds are water (vapor)."One commonly reported element of UFO close-encounter cases is a cloud or mass of vapor that is said to occur around or near a UFO or a contactee". [Richie, ibid, Page 46]But are UFOs cloud-like or just using clouds as a cover?Water is a commodity that seems, in the scheme of the universes planetary make-up, to be more valuable that gold or platinum - a necessary ingredient for carbon-life forms.But are UFOs intrinsically water or water-based?If they are, their source of origination would seem to be water-based, and such sources are rare, indeed, in our area of the known universe.UFOs as clouds or in clouds or around clouds seems to be a topic for study, even as UFOs in or near water has been.The evanescent quality of clouds - whether used as cover for the comings and goings of UFOs or as UFO themselves - may be a clue to the inherent nature of UFOs.That is, if the reportage is accurate.RR
