Don't spin my words. I meant that there are no references in the Bible where the people writing the passage were referring to UFOs as we commonly define them; as some sort of alien creatures coming from space.
How can you be sure of that? You state that as if it is fact?

It is my
opinion, based off of reading multiple books about Biblical archaeology from differing view points, and from reading a gigantic book examining the meanings, themes, and ideas present (in context) within the "Five Books of Moses," namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
Note, too, that most of the claims that a certain passage refers to aliens are also opinions, since there are no apparent claims within Hebrew Theology about extraterrestrial beings such as aliens; only God, the various Gods (usually referred to as false gods), and angelic beings. That some people interpet them as referring to aliens is their opinion.
