I've had an intense interest in the UFO phenomenon since I was about eight years old. I had a close-up UFO encounter in the company of an arch-skeptic when I was 21. He thought my Christian and UFO beliefs were nonsense, but he changed his mind about UFOs in an instant. (I haven't spoken to him in decades, but I see he now lists "the Bible" as his favorite book on Facebook!)
Decades ago, highly experienced ufologist John Keel - who was no Christian - warned that he thought the UFO phenomenon was basically demonic and that involvement with it was dangerous. This was fringe stuff when Keel said it, but the UFO phenomenon has so completely defied explanation that the possibility it's demonic has now entered mainstream ufology.
"Aliens" from within our natural order - such as another star system - really just don't fit the facts. Demons do - quite nicely, in fact.
So what would demons be accomplishing by what we call the UFO phenomenon (and related phenomena such as "alien abductions," which are pretty clearly not alien abductions in any real-world, physical sense)?
My informed belief is that the purpose is quite simple: Obsession and distraction. Those who become involved with UFOs, including me for a time, often become immersed to a degree that can only be called "obsessive." Those who are so obsessed don't have their eyes on God or spiritual truths.
This is true not only of UFOs but of many other areas of interest - often in the vein of the occult - that become obsessive and all-consuming and distract people from the matters of God.
That's my current theory, anyway, after spending decades and hundreds of hours in this field. If I haven't read every UFO book ever published, I've read 97% of them. Whatever finally comes of the whole Pentagon "UAP" brouhaha, I don't think it will be a convincing explanation of the multi-faceted UFO phenomenon.
Here is some scripture that reveals why virtually everyone who has studied this subject has come to the conclusion that aliens are nothing more than demons.
911 Warning!
Revelation 12:
9-11
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world;
he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelation 12:9-11
The day is fast approaching when Satan and his angels will be cast down to the earth
Satan and his hierarchy of fallen angels are called
principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12
However in Revelation 12, we see the day is coming when he is cast down to the earth.
We also see a specific time-frame, a “time marker” that associates the time of this “casting down” of Satan to the earth with another prophetic time table.
Now
when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for
a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Revelation 12:13-14
This prophetic time marker associated with Satan being cast to the earth, is the time period of the great tribulation.
Three and a half years, 1260 days, a time, times and a half of time.
Satan has always known this time was coming and he also knew that when Israel became a nation again, marked the beginning of the end for him and his angels.
Israel became a nation again in 1948, however it was in 1946 that Truman began the groundwork for this to happen.
Soon after President Truman took office, he appointed several experts to study the Palestinian issue. In the summer of 1946, Truman established a special cabinet committee under the chairmanship of Dr.
Henry F. Grady, an Assistant Secretary of State, who entered into negotiations with a parallel British committee to discuss the future of Palestine. In May 1946, Truman announced his approval of a recommendation to admit 100,000 displaced persons into Palestine and in October publicly declared his support for the creation of a Jewish state. Throughout 1947, the United Nations Special Commission on Palestine examined the Palestinian question and recommended the partition of Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state. On November 29, 1947 the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 (also known as the Partition Resolution) that would divide Great Britain’s former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948 when the British mandate was scheduled to end. Under the resolution, the area of religious significance surrounding Jerusalem would remain a corpus separatum under international control administered by the United Nations.
The Roswell incident occurred in 1947.
Satan knew his time was short and set out to deceive mankind into accepting him and his fallen angels, and his arrival, (being cast to the earth), as something other than what it really was.
Aliens from distant galaxies to help mankind evolve.
Satan has used his resources in Hollywood to help “program” mankind into accepting him and his spiritual hierarchy as something other than what they really are.
Fallen angels.
