A:The story of Elijah's ascension in a fiery chariot to heaven is in 2 Kings chapter 2, but this book is demonstrably written not long before the Babylonian Exile and is generally attributed to an anonymous author now known as the 'Deuteronomist'. Not only is there no description of the event that was written by Elisha, the story we do have was written centuries after the time the event was supposed to happen. You can only take it on faith that the Deuteronomist was accurately recording an older oral or written tradition.
