The only answer we can give, with the information you've presented, is it was most likely a hallucination/dream. We have no evidence, only an anecdote. You have I presume been soaked in mythology containing angels as much as most of us have, so they are already rattling around in your brain. You wanted an explanation, so you found something in a book that sounded a bit similar and your mind filled in the gaps.
Since we have nothing to analyze, it's impossible to say more. If you just insist it can't be those things, then there's not much more to be done. But you should be aware of how unreliable memory is, and how easily the brain can be fooled. Anyone who says they can't be wrong is arrogant or naive.
It's nothing personal, we're not trying to be mean. I'd say the same thing to anyone coming to me with a similar story.
