I've seen satellites with both binoculars and telescope. They're typically too high to distinguish features with the naked eye and orbit much higher than the flight of commercial aircraft, while this anomaly appeared larger than the jets I see passing over from time to time. It's also very unusual for satellites to orbit South to North.
But regarding the abode of God, even the heaven of heavens is too large to contain Him ( from 1 Kings 8:27)
Having experienced a great deal of spiritual phenomenon of a fallen nature, it's clear to me that some aspect of heaven or hell is unseen here with us. I believe that God the Father only manifests directly in creation through His Spirit and His Son, yet being Spirit and present everywhere and throughout Eternity, He has made Himself known through His works, His Spirit, and His Son. When God is described in the Old Testament as the ancient of days in prophetic vision, that description is consistent with the description of the glorified Christ.
The physical sky is heaven and is described as such by scripture. Heaven outside of our atmosphere is still heaven, the abode of the heavenly host, and that host is described both as stars and as angelic creatures. Having some understanding of Astronomy and the evidences of the physical nature of stars, I've always assumed that they were representative of the spiritual host of heaven, and that the Angel's had some other unseen abode not of the physical universe. However, given the preponderance of evidence of extraterrestrial visitations with real psychic phenomena associated with them, I can't rule out the possibility of the physical heavens being the abode of physical angels that don't have earthly limitations. This isn't my idea, but was proposed by Eric Von Daniken in his book "Chariot of the Gods."
The bible isn't a text book on physical science, but the testimony of God regarding His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Consequently it does not reveal all the secrets of the universe and even addresses that point.
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29
There is no doubt in my mind that UFO phenomena have a spiritual element. The studies done by the USAF and scientists commissioned by them, when seen without the intentional disinformation and their declassified content, tell us that the "experts" recognized a psychic component to real UFO phenomena. Science uses the word psychic to imply a power of the mind, while faith understands that all power and authority comes from God.
If I were to tell you that I fully understood the bible's description of heaven, or its described divisions I'd be lying. However, my lucid dream of flying to the city of light, at the prompting of a still and quiet voice, was a direct flight from the atmosphere out into space. That could've been no more than the invention of my subconscious mind, but I can accept that a physical/spiritual city will descend from the "heavens" and come to rest on a mount to the North of Jerusalem, the same that Lucifer determines to ascend.
ABOUT HEAVEN
Ephesians 1:v.3 to 13
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ:
4 According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;
8 Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Revelation 4:v. 1 -
I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Revelation 11:v.15-18
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.
Yeah, the nations will be wrathed, But the Almighty God will pour His wrath against all nations of the earth, yeah, all, including the nation of Israel full of idolatry and witchery, and where Satan now called red Dragon will establish his throne, even in the holy city, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, that is Jerusalem.
From now on there will be only and only wrath, wrath from the wicked nations against GOD and his people, the true Christians, true believers, and wrath of GOD that will be poured upon all the wicked nations.
