For as far back into recorded history as we can go, we find that man has looked at the heavens in awe. Their vastness and distance has inspired mystery and wonder, causing men to attribute some kind of meaning to them. Various cultures have felt that messages of importance could be found in the skies. Some saw images to which they attributed importance. Others came to believe that the heavens in some way governed man's history and even his personality. Great significance was attached to comets, asteroids, and even to the stars themselves.

The term “flying saucer” was first used by the media to describe the sightings of unusual disklike objects that began to be reported in the late 1940s. Eventually the term “unidentified flying object,” or “UFO,” was used. This term was originally used to indicate that the object did not appear to be a known phenomenon or aircraft. Over time the terms have come to refer to extraterrestrials (ETs) and their spaceships. The term “UFO community” is often used to denote individuals linked by a common belief that some UFOs sighted were occupied alien spaceships from distant planetary systems.

A Gallup poll in 1978 and 1981 showed that most North Americans believe flying saucers exist and are controlled by beings from another world. A more recent Gallup poll, in 1990, revealed that about 14% or 12-15 million (one in every 10) Americans claim to have seen UFOs. A recent Time poll revealed that 34% of Americans believe intelligent beings from other planets have visited Earth. Of those, 65% believe a UFO crashed at Roswell and 80% believe the U.S. government is involved in a cover up.  It is estimated that six UFOs per hour are sighted world wide. Besides this, there are over 2000 cases of encounters with landed UFOs and around 700 instances where physical effects have resulted (e.g., burned trees or grass). UFOs have been intercepted and fired upon by jet fighters, and UFOs have given off electromagnetic charges causing engines and electrical devices to break down.

UFO sites are prominent on the world wide web. There are seminars and entire conferences dedicated to the subject. In fact, many people today live their lives dominated by the belief that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. Recently, we even witnessed the deaths of men and women involved in a UFO cult. Like men of old, they attributed such importance to a comet that they took their lives, hoping to join a UFO that they believed was trailing behind the Hale-Bopp comet.
Sheesh, there’s a lot of press today concerning beings from outer space! From The X-Files to Star Trek to Independence Day to Kodak commercials to the cover of News and World Report (“An Alien with Braces is the Father of my Baby!) — you just can’t escape the invaders. They’re… they’re EVERYWHERE!!!

Others are equally taken with angels. People magazine reports that 75% of Americans believe in angels. Like the ETs, angels enjoy their own TV shows, books, and artwork. If you have an interest in angels, you can buy angel jewelry, attend an angel conference, an angel tea, or an angel club. Angels have become big business, and have spawned a whole new industry built around these messengers from the skies. We will refer to them as the “modern angels.”
It is interesting to note that great wonders and signs in the skies attended the birth of Christ. Angels appeared in the night sky giving glory to God. A special star guided the wise men to Jesus. The difference today, however, is that the angels seem to have changed places with men. Instead of the angels appearing in the heavens speaking to men on earth, some men now claim that the angels have come down to earth to speak through men. Others say that they have been taken up to the heavens in a UFO. Man now looks down at earth from a spaceship, and the angels are on earth speaking through, instead of to, men.

In 1947 the Air Force started its official investigation named Project Sign, that concluded some UFOs were interplanetary craft. This became Project Grudge (1948) which concluded that most sightings could be explained as tricks, hoaxes or natural phenomena. In 1950 two books caused a UFO craze: Flying Saucers Are Real by Donald Keyhoe and Behind Flying Saucers by Frank Scully. In 1951 the Air Force opened a new investigation, Project Blue Book, that concluded 29% of UFO cases studies could not be explained. In the summer of 1952, at 11:04 PM on July 19, seven objects appeared on radar buzzing White House air space. Jets were scrambled on at least three occasions when they appeared but as soon as contact was made the lights disappeared at speeds up to 7000 mph.

In 1953 Gray Barker’s book, They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers, testified to the existence of a government cover-up and of “UFO silencers” or “men in black” that made threats against people involved in UFO research. This theme continues to endure. Also, further claims of abductions became more popular. Betty and Barney Hill claimed they were abducted in 1961 while driving in Canada. By the Mid-1970s abductions and contact with UFOnauts become more popular and turned the movement into a religious following. In the 1980s and 90s the theme of a government conspiracy and the spread of world wide UFOlogy flourished.

J. Allen Hynek (1972) was the first to categorize UFO experiences as 1) first encounters-- an observing of day or nocturnal lights; 2) second encounters-- a finding that leaves some physical results; and 3) third encounters-- when the encountering of an alien is claimed.

Concerning first encounters, some scientific investigations have concluded that between 90-95+% of investigated UFO encounters have natural explanations. Some of these natural explanations include hoaxes, satellites, temperature inversion, light refraction, high-altitude weather balloons, mirages, shooting stars, marsh gases, ball lightning, top secret military aircraft, etc. We have yet to explain all natural phenomena (e.g., we recently learned about migrating birds with glowing phosphorus under their wings). UFO researcher and scientist Hugh Ross  has identified several points to consider when investigating UFO reports. First, we should remember that our senses can be deceived. Second, instruments can malfunction and deceive or give false readings. Third, not everything reported or printed (newspapers, etc.) is true. Fourth, records can be incomplete. Fifth, no artifacts or any case of physical contact has ever been proven. Sixth, intelligent intervention is needed for life; it cannot originate on its own. And seventh, most unexplained UFO phenomena appear to involve the manipulation of matter and energy.
On this last point, there is good evidence that some unexplained UFO sightings have a cause outside the physical realm. Often UFOs are seen but not photographed or photographed but not seen. Pictures or video of them are often blurred. No high-resolution images have ever been taken. Sometimes UFOs are tracked on radar but not seen or seen but not tracked on radar. They often are reported to violate physical laws.
They go at speeds at or approaching the speed of light. (Forbidden!) They make turns and stops that according to even the basic laws of motion would destroy any ship of any material (Verboten!). They suddenly appear out of nowhere or disappear (Bozo no no!). All this breaking of the law would imply that they are either politicians or are not part of this physical world. UFOs may disappear and reappear at will and no known UFO artifact or crash debris has ever been recovered. All this would seem to suggest a non-physical (or spiritual) cause of UFOs.

Not part of this physical world, eh? What world are they part of, then, Mr Smarty Pants?
Extradimensionality. We discovered that the physical world of three spatial dimensions and one time dimension is not all there is. There are more spatial dimensions out there, based on both scientific and biblical facts. Beings existing in this realm could seemingly break the natural laws that we are slave to merely by entering and exiting the fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. dimensions. They don’t break their laws — they appear to break ours.
Now what beings do we know of, biblically speaking, who are privy to extradimensions? Angels and demons, of course. Which of these two could UFOs be? Well, let’s see, UFOs cause confusion, they take the eyes of their victims off of God. In third kind close encounters, they tell their “captives” that there is no God, or we are all gods, or Jesus was a nice guy but only one way to God, or that all ways are good, etc. Clearly they want us to take a different route than the Way spelled out plainly in the Bible.

This evidence has led some Christian researchers to suggest that UFOs are caused by the demonic.  Interestingly, some non-Christian UFO researchers have reached this conclusion. Researcher Lynn Catoe says, “Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena which have long been know to theologians and parapsychologists. Another UFO researcher, John Keel, suggests that UFOs may be “actually a staggering cosmic put-on; a joke perpetrated by invisible entities who have always delighted in frightening, confusing and misleading the human race.”  Some Christian UFO researchers have even suggested why and how such a phenomenon could be accomplished by demons. One theory suggests that demons can work from the spiritual realm, or another dimension, and manipulate matter and energy in the atmosphere to produce apparent violations of physical laws.
Second and third encounters, although not as common, could also have natural, supernormal (i.e., demonic),  explanations or both. Demons can possess unbelievers as identified in Scripture and are capable of causing physical effects on and through people (Mt 9:33; 12:22; 17:15-18; Mk 5:4-5; 9:20-22; Rev 9:14-19).  However, demons cannot do what only God can do such as create. This would exclude the possibilities that demons create alien bodies or any other kind of bodies. Claimed experiences of the third kind, if they are genuine, must therefore be hoaxes, visions, vivid dreams or hallucinations. Some who claim abductions have connections with the occult or are in environments, such as support groups, that encourage their view of aliens and what they believe has happened to them. This type of environment fosters and reinforces their belief about UFOs. Some of these people as a result of their experience adopt, and some teach, doctrine that is directly opposed to Christianity.  The media and numerous UFO groups and cults also feed this frenzy.

People still claim to see UFOs, but the primary area of UFO/ET study today circles around literally thousands of otherwise normal men and women who claim that they have been abducted by ETs. A typical abduction scenario goes something like this. Sometime in the dark of night, a person becomes aware that he or she is being taken out of bed, into the air and onto a space ship of some kind. The abductee is utterly helpless, unable to move, and frightened beyond belief. Surrounded by a great light, the abductee is taken onboard the space ship and met by one of a variety of ETs who communicates with telepathically. The abductee is subjected to a physical examination that routinely features the harvesting of semen from men and an invasive probing for the eggs of fertile women. The abductee is shown pictures or images of destruction. The ETs try to reassure the terrified person by telling him or her that there is no reason to be afraid. In fact, the abductee is told that the Ets can be trusted. The ETs come in peace, they have our interests at heart. They have had a history with us, we have never been alone. They often profess great love for the abductee and for mankind in general. In the midst of the most terrifying experience imaginable, to helpless people who have been taken against their will, the ETs try to convey love, happiness, and peace.

Two primary messages are given to the abductees. The first type of message deals with the environment and with catastrophes that the ETs say are about to overtake the earth. The earth, we are told, is a living organism that mankind is killing. Through pollution, the defoliation of the rain forests, and our general lack of care for Mother Earth, we are on the brink of disaster. We must stop polluting our planet. We must abandon our penchant for war and for nuclear weapons. Both will lead to earth's destruction. Whitley Streiber, a well known contactee, was shown visions of catastrophic proportions that included scenes of wars, earthquakes, meteors, and polar shifts. He saw the graphic death of the atmosphere and witnessed the entire planet exploding.

The ETs tell us that we must stop our fighting, our pollution, show reverence for Mother Earth, listen to them, and clean up our act. They can save us and keep us from all future disasters. One woman contactee is told that “during a future period of human strife they [the ETs] will intercede and save us from ourselves.” The ETs will guide all mankind to a period of great peace and unification. They are our new teachers, here to instruct us about our own survival. Only as we learn to trust them and listen to them can we be saved from destruction. Salvation will indeed come from the skies, but it will come from the Space Brothers.
The second type of message is just as frightening. It begins innocuously enough. We are told that the ETs are here to remind us of a truth that we have forgotten, the truth of who we really are and why we are here. They have come to raise our consciousness, to fully reveal to man the true story of the universe and of our history on earth. In short, they are here to reveal real reality.

They explain man's history on earth as follows. They begin by saying that the biblical account of the creation of man is all wrong. Man is not a creative act of a personal God. Instead, we were `seeded' here thousands of years ago by the ETs who have since been overseeing our genetic evolution and development. Mankind is the product of genetic corrections done by the ETs over thousands of years Cro-Magnon man was the result of genetic manipulation by the little gray ETs. They say that man has evolved, but our evolution has all been overseen by the ETs. In fact, the primary reason they are contacting so many people right now is for genetic purposes.

This message is repeated through a series of on-going abductions, for contact continues for many years. Eventually many contactees are shown babies that the ETs say are hybrid babies, part ET and part human. Some women are asked to hold these babies, and many come to believe that they are the genetic mothers of these hybrids.

A variety of reasons are given for the creation of the hybrids. Contactees are told variously that the ETs are doing this because mankind is becoming sterile. Alternatively, they are doing this because, as aliens, they only have a limited range of emotions. They are desperate for human genetic material so that they can feel human emotions. Some are led to believe that perhaps the alien's own survival depends somehow on interacting genetically with mankind. People are told that the result of all the genetic activity and experimentation is to create a new race of men, men with genetically altered bodies that will enable them to enter different dimensions of time and space. Man will be changed both physically and spiritually. We will have new abilities. Today's isolated psychic events will become commonplace as men gain new abilities in such areas as telepathy and astral travel. We will eventually master even reality itself. One ET entity currently being channeled tells us that we will “now have physical and psychic gifts that [we] were meant to have ever since the time you humans first left. . .” All this will be accomplished by the merging of the two species. Another extra-terrestrial entity broadcasting through a women who has taken the name of Zoev Jho has channeled an entire book called E.T. 101, in which we are told that we are on the verge of seeing human history altered by a genetic shift in our DNA codes.

Sober Christians today should carefully examine the implications of the ET messages for our world before dismissing them. Four primary implications of the alien messages warrant our consideration.
The first and most primary problem for a Christian in the alien messages, is that the ETs have carefully but certainly usurped the role of God. They appear as transcendent beings that are superior to man. They know what we don't know, see what we don't see, and can solve what we can't solve. We are told that they can save us. There is no need for a personal God, no need for Jesus. Just trust the aliens to deliver us from the troubles ahead. They have a plan, they pose the questions, and they provide the answers.
Second, they usurp the role of God as Creator. God is not our Father. The ETs are. They are in charge of life. They seeded life, control life, and are bringing mankind's life to fruition. It's all under their control.
Third, if they are our creators, then we must owe something to them. How about our souls, our hearts, and our allegiance? Whitley Streiber writes that his experiences have convinced him that the human soul is very much an issue with the ETs. At one point he comes to feel that one ET has provoked a struggle for his soul, for his very essence. Other ETs ask for abductees' hearts, and demand that the abductee `believe in them.
The divergence between the ET worldview and the Christian worldview becomes most apparent when we come to the subject of who Jesus Christ was and why He came. Jesus is anything but the one and only, unique God-man. He is said to be a great Cosmic Master, an ET from Venus who trained on a space ship, a space brother who was planted here, an ascended master, a great yogi, or an evolved spirit born of a Pleiadian father and Mary. “Generally speaking, in the Space Beings' teachings, Jesus of Nazareth is not God but is a Christ, an ascended master, who incarnated so that he might demonstrate the Christ-pattern . . .”
ETs tell us that Jesus did not come to bring salvation to men who were alienated from God. He came instead to give us a nice set of ethics, to expand our consciousness, and to deliver a space message of love and brotherhood. He taught reincarnation, denied a literal hell, said that evil does not really exist, denigrated the Bible, and said that men are all connected with and are a part of God.
This Jesus was not virgin born and did not die any kind of an atoning death for the sins of mankind. He is, however, coming again. But the alien version of the Second Coming of Christ, not surprisingly, is much different from the traditional, biblical view. One ET version has Christ returning in a space ship, performing great miracles. Anyone who does not heed his words the second time, will be removed from the earth. Other versions say that Christ will not return as an individual. His return will be a group return: A single individual will not be returning, it will be a collection of Christ-like men. The purpose of all this will be to transform our consciousness and to bring all men together in a peaceful new world. There will be no judgment, no Battle of Armageddon, no blood, and no accountability. It will be uplifting, a raising up of mankind, and a happy, positive event.
When it comes to a consideration of man, we find another divergence from the Christian world view. According to the ETs, man has evolved. Man has also had a series of previous lives, and therefore we have all experienced reincarnation. This means that death is not an enemy. We should not fear it. Death is only an illusion.
Lastly, what do the ETs have to say about the Bible? Is it the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God? Not according to the aliens. The ETs teach that the Bible is full of mistakes. It has been changed, and the church has tampered with its true teachings. It's true message has been misunderstood. Diane Tessman is a popular ET channeler today. Tibus, the ET that speaks through her, says, “it is the MISUNDERSTANDING of [the Bible] which has proved very detrimental to the human race for hundreds and hundreds of years nowDr. Fred Bell of California interacts with an ET known at Semjase. Semjase says that “the Bible [has] been edited, which resulted in its original message being alteredOver and over again the theme is the same: the Bible is wrong, it has been changed by men, it's true message has been lost. To help correct this, new `scripture' is being written. A former French race car driver, whose ET contact goes by the name of Rael, has rewritten parts of the Bible as a result of his encounters. Other ETs stress that the biblical accounts are only stories meant to be read allegorically or symbolically. Whatever the Bible may be, it is clearly not a reliable book. It is full of mistakes and errors and is in need of rewriting and clarification. Wise men would not treat it as truth.
Taken as a group, the ET version of reality, reason, God, religion and Christianity, Jesus, man, and the Bible comprise a very different version of the world and man's place in it. The ETs have a complete theology, all of which stands in stark contrast to historic Christian doctrines. We are, in fact, seeing the emergence of a new religion and, with it, the emergence of a new world view.
. In his attempt to unlock the alien agenda, author Jim Marrs writes about how ironic it is that messages promoting love, brotherhood, and unity are only learned through cold, intellectual study and physical intrusion. “It's a bit like trying to teach someone to dance-you can explain about steps and count all you want but unless they have rhythm, forget it.” Alien messages are dominated by prophecies that don't come true, and we know that they do not speak truthfully about God, Jesus, and man. Upon closer examination, we find that the ETs are neither loving, nor truthful.
If they are not really kind and honest, it should cause us to question their entire agenda and their real reasons and motives. In fact, it should raise the possibility that the aliens are not at all what they appear to be. Jacques Vallee has studied the ET phenomena perhaps more than any other contemporary investigator. Vallee has been indefatigable in his studious pursuit of alien appearances all over the world, having visited contactees on many continents. He has interviewed countless men and women. Eschewing hypnosis, he has recorded their lucid accounts seeking to understand what is really taking place. He has reached several intriguing conclusions, one of which is that the aliens appear to be operating in a way designed to deceive mankind. Their lies, the secrecy in which they operate, the broken promises, the lack of forthright explanations, all combine to convince him of this. Vallee laments that ultimately “the real story of [their] deception . . . may `die unsung . . .' and it may never be heard over the clamor of happy multitudes preparing to meet their new alien leaders.”
If it is not from God, what other possibilities exist? William R. Goetz, Christian author of UFOs, Friend, Foe or Fantasy?, tries to help us narrow the field. Goetz comments that these phenomena are either real or not real. If they are not real, they could be hoaxes or hallucinations. Men and women could be making fraudulent claims for their own ends and purposes. It could all be the product of some kind of mass hysteria or illusion. If the phenomena are real, they could be explained by either a scientific or supernatural means. Scientific explanations might encompass a variety of technological possibilities. Natural phenomena that at present are not understood by man could offer explanations for what we think are ETs. But, if the eventual answer turns out to be supernatural, we already know from the Bible that there can only be two sources of spiritual or supernatural activity: God and His angels, or Satan and his demons.
The Bible offers support for the belief that the core of this mystery is a spiritual one. We are told that all forms of divination, magic, mediums, and spiritists involve spiritual forces propelled by Satan, and we are strongly admonished to stay completely away from all these things. The Bible also clearly states that from the very beginning Satan has been the purveyor of `another gospel, another Christ and another spirit.' Paul writes that we are not to be deceived by Satan's cunning devices designed to lead our minds astray. He even equates the agents of other gospels with Satan and reminds us that Satan himself can masquerade as an angel of light. Long before our modern day claims of a new, angelic gospel, Paul admonished us that if an angel from heaven came and promulgated another gospel, that angel is to be eternally condemned. Because of the nature of all of their messages, the source of the ETs and modern angels cannot be the God of the Bible, nor His angels. Thus, we are left with Satan masquerading as ETs and modern angels.
Is there life on other planets? With the recent discovery of possible planets around another star and the possible discovery of life (or life ingredients) on a rock from Mars, this question draws considerable interest. Concerning the existence of planets outside our solar system it should be noted that not all are convinced they are planets. “[M]any experts think it is technically a brown dwarf--a star that never got big enough to ignite--rather than a planet.”  Even if planets are found, the odds are very much against life existing on them. Astronomer Hugh Ross cites forty-one parameters that must be fine-tuned for any conceivable kind of life to exist. He concludes that the probability for the occurrence of all forty-one parameters is 1053. The maximum possible planets in the universe is 1022. Thus, he concludes that “much less than one chance in a million trillion exists that even one such planet would occur anywhere in the universe”
Concerning life on a Mars rock, not all are convinced of what the evidence indicates; and even if it suggests life it does not follow that it originated on Mars. It could, more than likely, be life from earth that was transported to Mars via solar winds.
It can be argued that it is improbable that aliens, in the popular sense of the term, could or would get to earth. For example, assume one million civilizations advanced enough to originate exploratory spaceships. For one UFO to visit earth each year, each of the million civilizations would need 10,000 launches per year.  The great distances in space would mean that any physical beings visiting earth would have to travel faster than the speed of light. Thus, this view contains some statistical improbabilities. Further, there is no indication in Science or Scripture that life exists elsewhere. God made the heavens for signs, seasons, days, and years. In fact, science understands that the Universe must be the size it is, with the formation of galaxies as they are, to support life on the earth (see Ross, 1996, 1993). According to Scripture the second person of the Trinity incarnated as a human man (Jesus) to redeem humans. Hebrews 2:14-18 says,
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death -- that is, the devil -- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted (NIV).
Reports of abductions usually include moral evils committed by the aliens such as being taken against one’s will, rape and other sexual abuses. If these alien beings are real, this would indicate that they have a need of forgiveness and redemption. But Scripture indicates that no one other than humans are in need of forgiveness and redemption.

Researcher Bill Alnor in his book on UFOs comments: “Every ‘angel’ discussed in these pages has failed to affirm Christ came in the flesh as the only way of salvation of human kind”  Gal 1:8 says, “even though . . . an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you let him be accursed” (NIV). Alnor also says: “In more than 20,000 miles of travel, in reading thousands of messages from aliens, and from listening to many contactees, I don’t know of a single case where an extraterrestrial message passed the ‘Jesus test.’”  Eph 5:11 says “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them” (NIV). Further, flying saucer watching is addictive and a waste of time. It leads to a suspension of disbelief. Many have become desensitized by the strangeness and lost their sanity. Thus, the dangers in pursuing UFOs are spiritual and physical. Alnor wisely notes: “The longer one makes a commitment to UFO research, the closer he or she is to dying and giving the God who made the planets an account of his life. It is a sin to waste time on unprofitable things.  Jn 9:4 says “As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work”

Because Christ is not confessed according to a biblical formula, because all other Christian doctrines are similarly denied, because the entire world view that flows from these two phenomena stands opposed to a Christian world view, and because the messages are both overwhelmingly spiritual and act to form a new religion we must conclude that, whatever else is going on, the ultimate source of the messages cannot be of God. If they are not of God, the only remaining source of spiritual messages is Satan.

Christians need to understand the dangers of the messages coming from the clouds and respond accordingly. We are called to expose the deeds of darkness. But, Christians have dismissed the ET phenomena as absurd and fanciful, and have either ignored the modern angels or embraced them as being from God. The Christian response needs to be more considered. The body of Christ needs to look at what is being taught and promoted by these entities. The messages need to be set against the Word of God. Christians need to analyze the world views being promulgated, and, having done so, we need to say openly that this is not of God.

In short, Christians need to be reminded that we are called to know God's Word, to preach and teach it, and to correct and rebuke error in a loving but firm manner. The Bible tells us that there will come a time when “men will not put up with sound doctrine . . . They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” In such a time, we as Christians are admonished to keep our head in all situations, do the work of an evangelist, and discharge all the duties of our ministry. We need to stand on the Word of God and tell it like it is to a world being led to hell by `heavenly' beings.
