Only if you believe in Erich von Daniken's assertions that Ezekiel actually saw and described a space craft.

“Elijah went ascending in the windstorm”
These were neither the distant parts of the physical universe nor the spiritual place where God and his angelic sons dwell. (Deuteronomy 4:19; Psalm 11:4; Matthew 6:9; 18:10)
“The heavens” to which Elijah ascended were the atmospheric heavens. (Psalm 78:26; Matthew 6:26) Racing through earth’s atmosphere, the fiery chariot evidently transferred Elijah to another part of the earth, where he continued living for a time. Years later, in fact, Elijah wrote a letter to Jehoram, the king of Judah.—2Â Chronicles 21:1, 12-15.

No.
The chariot of fire appeared. It does not say that Elijah was in it.
He went up in a whirlwind.

Spaceship? You want a spaceship!? See Ezekiel 1:1.

Only if you ask a Muslim. Muslims claim space travel was predicted by Mohammad

Yes, it is possible. I mean, it makes as much sense as any other far-fetched myth in that book.
