Abduction

"To my knowledge, the earliest account of a hostage experience was given in 593 B.C. by the Babylonian priest Ezekiel who described (as reported in the Bible) an abduction by 'creatures' in a flying round bronze object.

Nonetheless, Ezekiel’s account details shock, feelings of floating, and perceptions of lights, colors, and mystical visions of God."
