UFOs of Alexander the Great?

The first recorded incident regarding Alexander the Great and UFO’s was recorded in 329BC. Alexander decided to invade India and was attempting to cross the river Indus to engage the Indian army when “gleaming silver shields” swooped down and made several passes over the battle. These “gleaming silver shields” had the effect of startling his cavalry horses, causing them to stampede. They also had a similar effect on the enemies’ horses and elephants so it was difficult to ascertain whose side these “gleaming silver shields” were on. Nevertheless, after exiting the battle victoriously Alexander decided to not proceed any further into India.

Seven years later Alexander was confronted with the greatest challenge of his military career. In his attempt to conquer the Persian Empire he realized that the city of Tyre needed to be captured in order to prevent the Persians from using that port to land an army behind him.The original coastal city of Tyre had been destroyed before and had been rebuilt some distance offshore from its original site. Having no navy, Alexander decided to use the remains of the old city to build a causeway to the new one.It took Alexander six full months to do this and when the task was completed and his troops staged their assault they were easily rebuffed because the walls were too high to quickly scale and too thick to batter down. Not only that but the causeway was too narrow to allow sufficient troops to launch a massive enough attack to overwhelm the enemy in order to scale the walls.

Not only was this a problem for Alexander but apparently a problem for God as well. Both the prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah had spoken of Gods’ curse and eventual destruction of Tyre. (Ezekiel Chapters 27 & 28 and Isaiah Chapter 23). How was Alexander going to achieve his goal? How was God going to ensure that His prophecy would be fulfilled? The historical account, recorded by Alexander’s chief historian, states that, during an attack of the island city, one of two ‘gleaming silver shields’ attacked a section of the wall with a ‘beam of light’ which subsequently caused that section of the wall to fall! Alexander’s’ men poured through the opening and captured the city.
