This scientist who wrote a paper about the 4th dimension had this to say about what a 4d being, appearing to us would look like to our eyes.

"We would see disconnected blobs of flesh, some attached to claws, teeth, lips, eyes, or hair..."

Reading that made me wonder if biblical Angels are 4th or 5th dimensional beings that appeared to people in the past with environmental warnings or something, and of course an ancient human would see that and immediately think it's a celestial being

I mean, celestial means "the heavens" so... they pretty much are. Like even if they had a different mode of travel altogether that would allow bypassing traveling through space, they still would have come from the stars... or beyond this universe (or something even weirder like time).
