It is counterintuitive "Ancient Aliens" had any influence over the Bible

It is counterintuitive "Ancient Aliens" had any influence over the Bible because its teachings contradict premise of their existence:

1. Monotheism;
2. Creation by divine Fiat;
3. Personal relationship with God;
4. The Law of Moses prefiguring the Sacrifice of Christ for the sins of the world;
5. Exclusivity of Earth as sole inhabited planet;
6. Uniqueness of Humans made in the image and likeness of God;
7. Neither Angels or Demons are portrayed as Extraterrestrial life forms.
8. Extraterrestrials not mentioned in End of the World prophecies.
9. Extraterrestrials not found in the "New Heavens and New Earth" God will create that lasts for eternity.
10. The impossibility of Aliens correctly predicting the circumstances of Jesus Christ's birth, life, death and resurrection centuries in advance.

This last is particularly true as it is reported Aliens have crashed their space ships dozens of times throughout history. Apparently, seeing even a few seconds into the future is beyond their ability.

This contrasts with the God of the Bible:

21 "Present your case," says the LORD. "Bring forth your strong reasons," says the King of Jacob.
22 "Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former things, what they were, That we may consider them, And know the latter end of them; Or declare to us things to come.
23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, That we may know that you are gods; Yes, do good or do evil, That we may be dismayed and see it together.
24 Indeed you are nothing, And your work is nothing; He who chooses you is an abomination. (Isa. 41:21-24 NKJ)
