That would make sense, but AGAIN somehow it cant be. You see the kids in South Greene aren't exactly that interested in science I know I saw their scores in science they genuinely aren't trying. I mean its not even that hard when I was in 7th grade math I got all As, and the high schoolers oh boy. They're very street smart but ask then a basic science question and they are dumb as bricks

Maybe but at the same time I dont see any legs or antenna, and it looks like its floating. Course it is blurry
One sec let me try to get some EXIF data Edit: nvm I can't download it
Probably isn't, we dont have very many hot air balloons around here plus its pretty dry right now so I dont think we would take that risk.
The sun was setting
Note though, none of these celestial beings are called 'angels' (malakim). Malakim means 'messengers.' It is something of a job title. 'Angels,' properly so called, typically appear human: there are the 'men' who visit Abraham in Genesis 18, but two of them are called 'angels'/malakim in the next chapter. There are also the 'men' who destroy Jerusalem with fire from the altar in Ezekiel's visions, the human-like messenger who interprets Daniel's vision, and the messenger(s) of Yahweh who appears to Gideon and to Samson's parents in Judges.
The trend began with the translation of the Septuagint and gained popularity with pseudo-Dionysios' The Celestial Hierarchy. The Greek word used to translate malakim is άγγελος/aggelos. This title also means 'messenger.' P-Dionysios argued that it is proper to call all obedient celestial beings who serve God 'messenger' because they pass on messages and grace from God to the lower hierarchies. Thus, even those celestial beings closest to the throne—e.g., cherubim, seraphim—are messengers to the hierarchy below them, while the next hierarchy passes the message on down the line, and so on until you reach the lowest level: angels, properly so called.
If you're looking for a 'biblically accurate' malak/aggelos, take a look at the nearest human. In the Bible, 'angels' are often mistaken for humans at first.
It's either that or a literal Bible angel
I dont think there were any weather balloons nearby and the photographer is just some lady from Greeneville, TN so I have no clue
Wait what if this is genuinely aliens
