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.
