The Spaceships of Ezekiel - Josef F. Blumrich, 1974 When Erich von Däniken had pointed to the possibility of interpreting Ezekiel's Merkabah Vision as a report of an extraterrestrial spacecraft, NASA Engineer Josef F. Blumrich decided to disprove the hypothesis. However, a thorough examination convinced him that Ezekiel had, in fact, seen a spaceship. He then made detailed drawings of the extraterrestrial craft. He concluded the technology of the builders must have been somewhat higher than mankind's at the present, and added he had seldom felt as delighted, satisfied, and fascinated by being proven wrong. The Omni Wheel Blumrich proposed a wheel that is capable of rotating not only in the forward-backward direction, but also sideways, based on his interpretation of the description in Ezekiel, and patented it. The wheel is now known as Omni wheel, and it is used in special applications.
