Jesus and his Uncle Joseph visited Britain. They knew the British were Israelites. Joseph was a procurator for the Romans and had full access to the tin mining areas of Britain's southwest. He returned to Britain with Mary after the Crucifixion and founded the first church at Glastonbury. The 'Star' of Bethlehem is mentioned in the apocrypha as a local glowing object that led the 3 wise men night or day to Bethlehem. A star in the firmament couldn't do that. When the wise men ate animal flesh the UFO disappeared for 3 days then returned, said one of the texts I recall reading.
The holy Mâr John Chrysostom, in his exposition of Matthew, says, p. 83: "The star appeared a long time before, for their journey was accomplished with great delay that they might come to the end of it on the day of our Lord's birth. As touching the nature of that star, whether it was a star in its nature, or in appearance only, it is right to know that it was not of the other stars, but a secret power which appeared like a star; for all the other stars that are in the firmament, and the sun and moon, perform their course from east to west. This one, however, made its course from north to south, for Palestine lies thus, over against Persia. This star was not seen by them at night only, but also during the day, and at noon; and it was seen at the time when the sun is particularly strong, because it was not one of the stars. Now the moon is stronger in its light than all the stars, but it is immediately quenched and its light dissipated by one small ray of the sun. But this star overcame even the beams of the sun by the intensity of its light. Sometimes it p. 84 appeared, and sometimes it was hidden entirely. It guided the Magi as far as Palestine. When they drew near to Jerusalem it was hidden; and when they went forth from Herod and began to journey along the road, it appeared and shewed itself. This was not an ordinary movement of the stars, but a rational power. Moreover, it had no fixed path, but when the Magi traveled, it traveled on also, and when they halted, it also halted; like the pillar of cloud which stopped and went forward when it was convenient for the camp of Israel. The star did not remain always up in the height of heaven, but sometimes it came down and sometimes it mounted up; and it also stood over the head of the Child, as the Evangelist tells us."
From the Legend of Aphroditianus: "When they saw the star above Pege, and the diadem with the starry stone, and the statues lying on the floor, they said, “O king, a divine and royal root has risen, bearing the stamp of a heavenly and earthly king. For Pege is the daughter of Karia the Bethlehemite, and the diadem is a royal sign, and the star is a heavenly announcement of marvels on earth. Out of Judah a kingdom has arisen which will abolish all the memorials of the Jews. The prostration of the gods upon the floor prefigured the end of their honor. For he who comes is of more ancient dignity and will shake those who are new in it. Therefore, o king, send to Jerusalem! For you will find the son of the Omnipotent, carried in bodily form in the bodily arms of a woman. The star remained above Pege, who has been called Urania, until the Magi went forth, and then it went with them." Part two: "The narration of the Magi. The king sends the Magi to Judea 6 Then the king, without delay, sent the Magi who were under his dominion with gifts, and the star showed them the way. And then they returned, and they narrated to their contemporaries those things that were written also on golden plates and that were to the following effect: The conversation between the Magi and the Jews: 7 1When we came to Jerusalem, the sign together with our arrival disturbed everyone. “What is this?” they said. “Wise men of the Persians arrive, and along with them an appearance of a star?” 2 The leaders of the Jews asked us what was going to happen and the reason for our coming. And we said, “He whom you call Messiah is born.” They were confounded and dared not oppose us. But they said to us, “By the heavenly Justice, tell us what you know!” 3 We said to them, “You labor under unbelief, and neither without an oath nor with an oath do you believe, but you follow your own thoughtless goal. For the Christ, the son of the Most High is born, annulling your law and your synagogues. And for this reason, struck by a most excellent oracle, you do not hear with pleasure this name which has come upon you unexpectedly.” Then the ruler of Judea sent for us and asked us, and we said to him things at which he was thoroughly disturbed. And we departed from him without giving any greater heed to him than to any worthless person."
