p.69: Fireballs and thunderbolts from the angry skies apparently wreaked a lot of havoc in Biblical times. Some scholarly scientists have suggested that these accounts sound suspiciously like atomic explosions. A Soviet physicist, Professor M. Agrest, has even proposed that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by an atomic bomb. Lot's wife, he asserts, did not turn into a pillar of salt but was reduced to a pile of ashes when she ignored a warning not to linger behind Lot's fleeing party. Furthermore, in an article in Moscow's 'Literaturnaya Gazeta' in 1959, Professor Agrest offered the startling theory that ancient Baalbek was the Cape Kennedy of its day, serving as a launching platform for spaceships from another civilization. His "proof" consisted of the tektites and fused crystals found there. Such substances are the by-products of atomic explosions.

p.70:

In a paper presented before the American Rocket Society on November 15, 1962, Dr. Carl Sagan, a young Harvard astronomer, repeated some of Professor Agrest's speculations and urged that ancient myths and legends be reexamined for possible clues to an early visit by an extraterrestrial civilizatition. The Biblical story of Enoch, for example, relates how he dreamed of ''two men, very tall, such as I have never seen on earth. And their faces shone like the sun, and their eyes were like burning lamps ... They stood at the head of my bed and called me by my name. I awoke from my sleep and saw clearly these men standing in front of me.''

These tall men took him into the sky and conducted him on a tour of ''seven heavens.'' When he returned to earth, he wrote 366 books about what he had seen and learned. Although 'The Book of the Secrets of Enoch' has been widely published, the Bible grants him only a few lines of Chapter 5, Genesis.
