Hi ghost kid. Interesting question! Technically, God's an alien.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alien
belonging or relating to another person, place, or thing
God belongs to another place, heaven.
Exodus 20:22 Then the Lord said to Moses ... ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
Furthermore, the holy angels and fallen angels are technically aliens too, since they also belong to another place, heaven.
Luke 22:43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him.
Whether or not God and the angels are "space aliens" depends on the definition of "space". Heaven is technically a "space", as in, occupying a specified area. In terms of "outer space" like where the stars are, there's the metaphor that angels are like stars.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Since God created the stars, we can assume that, if aliens besides God and the angels exist, they would also be creations of God. Thus, since God created them, they would get the "same treatment" as us in terms of universal salvation. Right now, these fallen angel "aliens", I think will eventually believe in Christ and be saved like us Earthlings. Even Satan too. I assume the fallen angels and Satan are actual entities.
It makes me wonder... Let's say God created another planet like "Earth" after us... I think they would not be born with sin. Because the light of Christ's cross will already remove all sin and guarantee there be no suffering.
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
That's assuming that these next species are created after these former things have passed away. I assume there's only the species of Earth and the species of Heaven that God has created.
Ephesians 1:10 As a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth.
Imagine us in Heaven, being able to go to different planets and exploring the universe. The Lord God creating many new creatures and galaxies to explore!
I saw this recently on the news too: https://globalnews.ca/news/9746110/metallic-flying-orbs-nasa-pentagon-panel-ufos-uaps/
UFO = Unidentified Flying Object. Maybe an angel alien lol.
