“Extraordinary encounters have been reported for as long as human beings have been around, and they are richly documented in the world’s folklore and mythology.

A considerable portion of it is about channeling (in which an individual is the passive recipient of messages from the otherworld, usually speaking in the voice of an intelligence from elsewhere) from a wide assortment of entities: nebulous energy sources, soul clusters, extraterrestrials, ascended masters, inter-dimensional beings, discarnate Atlanteans and Lemurians, nature spirits, even whales and dolphins. Besides these purely psychic connections with the otherworld, there are many who report direct physical meetings with beings from outer space, other dimensions, the hollow earth, and other fantastic places.

In 1896 and 1897, during what today would be called a nationwide wave of unidentified flying object (UFO/UAP) sightings, American newspapers printed accounts of landings of strange craft occupied by nonhuman crews of giants, dwarfs, or monsters presumed to be visiting extraterrestrials.

But in the UFO/UAP age—that is, the period from 1947 to the present, when reports of anomalous aerial phenomena became widely known and their implications much discussed—a small army of “contactees,” recounting physical or psychic meetings with angelic space people, has marched onto the world stage to preach a new cosmic gospel.

In a secular context, UFO/UAP witnesses with no discernible occult orientation or metaphysical agenda have told fantastic tales of close encounters with incommunicative or taciturn humanoids.

Some witnesses even relate, under hypnosis or through conscious “recall,” traumatic episodes in which humanoids took them against their will into apparent spacecraft.

EXTRAORDINARY ENCOUNTERS An Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrials and Otherworldly Beings by Jerome Clark

“Dr. Jacques Vallee’s newest book on UFO/UAPs, The Invisible College, reveals what reputable scientific researchers are now thinking… He believes that we are now “very close” to understanding what they are. He notes that the ‘idea’ of extraterrestrial intelligent life has in a few years become astonishingly fashionable, among scientists as well as fortune tellers, as a result of “a great thirst for contact with superior minds that will provide guidance for our poor, harassed, hectic planet.” He significantly sees that the idea of visitors from outer space has become the great myth or “wonderful untruth” of our times: “It has become very important for large numbers of people to expect visitors from outer space.”

Yet he finds it too naive to believe in this myth: “This explanation is too simple-minded to account for the diversity of the reported behavior of the occupants and their perceived interaction with human beings.” Dr. Hynek has noted that in order to explain the various effects produced by UFO/UAPs, we must assume that they are “a phenomenon that undoubtedly ‘has physical effects’ but also has the attributes of the psychic world.” Dr. Vallee believes that “they are constructed both as physical craft (a fact which has long appeared to me undeniable) and as psychic devices, whose exact properties remain to be defined.” Actually, the theory that UFO/UAPs are not physical craft at all, but some kind of para-physical or psychic phenomenon, was suggested by a number of researchers in the early 1950’s; but this opinion was largely submerged later, on the one hand by the cultists, with their insistence on the extraterrestrial origin of UFO/UAPs, and on the other hand by the official government explanations, which corresponded to the widespread popular view that the whole phenomenon was imaginary. Only lately have serious investigators begun to agree that UFO/UAPs, while having certain physical characteristics, cannot at all be explained as somebody’s space ships, but are clearly

Orthodox Christian Understanding of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO/UAPs)Explanation of the UFO/UAP Phenomena Something of the paraphysical or occult realm.”

To start let me clarify, "I do not hold to the position that UFO/UAPs are of an extraterrestrial (physical) origin. I believe that the evidence points to that of a spiritual/extra-dimensional origin." Also, I'm going to leave out the specific location where I had my UFO/UAP encounter, to avoid undue attention to the area, but I will give the city.

My UFO/UAP encounter happened in August of 1978 in the city of Seattle Washington:

1) I was in my car at a stop sign approximately 500-800 feet from where I observed the UFO/UAP, at around 11:30pm - was on my way to work. I was in a residential area and at this time of night there was no traffic in the immediate vicinity during the duration that I observed the UFO/UAP. This allowed me to view the UFO/UAP for approximately three to five minutes. After viewing it for the three to five-minute time frame, I had to leave so as to avoid being late for work.

2) Its appearance was that of a white sphere approximately 17 to 20 feet in diameter. The odd thing about its appearance, it was white with no glow nor did it make any sound, it was completely silent, from what I could determine from my location and distance.

3) It behaved as if it was searching for something. I watched as it slowly approached a multi-level condominium. It went from floor to floor on the right side of the building facing the lake, starting from the lowest level and then to each of the upper levels, pausing as it went to each level.

In looking back, "I’m convinced, that God through his providence allowed me to encounter this experience, it was one of several things that God used to draw me into a personal relationship with his son – Jesus."

As a follower of Christ why should I need an awareness of what is occurring with UFO/UAP’s? The answer, "so that we may be ready to give and answer and a defense if necessary, to those in the culture who have been persuaded by the anti-Christ and anti-biblical messaging that comes out of the UFO/UAP phenomenon.

Their messaging has clearly changed the consciousness of the culture especially in the areas of science and spirituality. In the area of science their messaging has reached the realm of academia concerning the origin of man. Science has been peppered with the esoteric and new age occultic spirituality – which is really old age, as Solomon has said," there is nothing new under the sun". (Ecc 1:9)

The UFO/UAP phenomenon and its messaging is not going away but is continuing to increase globally, Christians must be at the fore front of this spiritual warfare to provide an answer to their false anti-Biblical messaging and a conduit for deliverance to those who are trying to escape.

One only has to look at the case studies to see the malevolent behavior of the UFO/UAP entities. The following can be seen.

• Taking people against their will.
• 1961 - Barney and Betty Hill Abduction
• 1967 - The Betty Anderson Abduction
• 1975 - The Travis Walton Abduction
• 1989 - The Manhattan Alien Abduction

• Performing sexual acts with abductees
• Performing medical procedures involving pain, odd for a so call advanced entities
• In some cases objects are left in abductees body
• Alien Implant Removal :Before and After Effects
• Alien Implants and Mental Illness
• Alien Implants

• Some of the abductees have ended up with radiation poisoning
• Reported people and cattle mutilation where sex organs and other body parts removed had been removed with surgical precision some “bloodlessly”. Near the time of the incidents UFO/UAP’s had been reported to be near the scene of the mutilation
• Human Mutilations
• Severe after effects such as sleep deprivation
• Recurring nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks and an irrational anxiety when returning to the area of the abduction- even though the victim may have no conscious memory of the event itself. Even so, this stage is often marked by the obsessive need to return to the site of the abduction, as if the victim is willing it to happen again.

Why are Aliens subject to the Name Jesus?

AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST

No one has the power and authority that Jesus Christ has, being God incarnate.

God the Father has exalted Him above every name!

5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant,and being made in the likeness of men.
8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil 2:5-11 NASB)

Jesus is the 'Son of God'Jesus 'Superior to all the angels'Jesus is 'Heir' to all things Jesus is the One who 'made the universe'

1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. (ESV Heb 1:1–4)

The Bible says that we must stand in Christ's power and battle for souls.

Those of us who have a real relationship with Jesus Christ have an imperative given to us in the book of Jude, which we are to constantly perform, in service to our Lord and that is, “

22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting;
23 save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh. (Jude1:22-23)

17“I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”(Matt 16:18NASB).

The context of these verses is that of apostasy by both the fallen Angels and apostasy within the church. The apostasy of the fallen angels is not limited among themselves. Their actives have always involved the deception of mankind and included willing men and women in their deceptive methods (1 Tim 4:1) which will ultimately lead their destruction unless they repent and accept Christ has their Lord and savior. (Rom 10:8-11). For it is Jesus alone who saves (Eph 2:8-10), we are his servant who delivers the message of salvation (Rom 10:14-15)

Proof that Jesus saves from the malevolent behavior of UFO/UAP aliens has learn from those involved in the UFO/UAP investigation.

1) “Alien Abductions” stop in the name and authority of Jesus Christ, and can be terminated as a pattern in a person’s life. This first point has been documented by Joe Jordan, who started as a MUFO/UAPN researcher in 1992. After years of focusing on UFO/UAP sightings, in 1997 he co-founded the CE4 Research Group, to focus more on research pertaining to “alien abduction” reports. Their research has been documented in over a dozen books mostly by Christian authors, that there are hundreds of abduction experiences that have been stopped by using the name and authority of Jesus Christ. Of the hundreds of cases the CE4 Research Group has worked with since 1997 who have been able to terminate the alien abduction experience in their life, over 95 former abductees have allowed them to share their personal testimonies on the CE4 Research Website. For many people, this research actually settles the issue, proving that the experience is spiritual in nature, and not genuinely extra-terrestrial. You can read a synopsis of their research findings on the CE4 Research Group website: www.CE4Research.com And their collection of testimonies of former abductees are online to read and listen to here: CE4 Research Group – Former Abductee Testimonies

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Eph 6:12 (KJV))

These spiritual weapons are age-old tools to apply that have been misrepresented and ignored. Unfortunately much of the misrepresentation is from the so-called church. This has turned a deaf ear for many to anything "Christian" as being outdated, non-progressive and ineffective. Regardless of your own personal background and mis-conceptions, there is a risen, powerful, and loving creator who has the answers and means to rid your personal life from anything, from anywhere. A very unusual promise is one of my favorite scriptures. I do not think it is mere coincidence how Paul wrote this comforting promise, for it speaks of alien abductions and many unexplained problems.

Their changes in where they orginate from

In the 1950s, the entities typically told the contactees of the day that they were from Mars and Venus. But we’ve since sent probes and satellites there and found that these planets are hostile to supporting life – at least the humanoid type of life they were claiming to be.
So 50 years later, the entities now claim they originate from far more distant places in other star systems, like Zeta Reticuli which is 39 light years away, or even in other galaxies like Andromeda, which is 2.5 million light years away.

Deceptive Extraterrestrial Message by Alien resistance.

In investigating the UFO/UAP phenomenon it becomes apparent that one of their main goals is that of messaging. Their messaging strangely focuses on an anti-biblical position. Why such a focus, why not a focus on Islam, Hinduism; etc.?

They claim to be the savor and creators of humanity, some claim they can deliver humanity out of the destruction that is coming upon the earth and that the Bible should not be believed because its not accurate. They also teach past lives and reincarnation which is oppose to Heb 9:27. The UFO/UAP aliens has affected the consiousious of the culture. See the below video for a more complete treatment of the messages of UFO/UAP aliens.

The UFO/UAP aliens have affected the conscious of the culture to the point where people think about Bible miracles and stories including creation as the result of Alien involvement. See the following video on the aliens messages as reported by abductees

Dr. Leo Sprinkle, a PhD “Professor Emeritus” of Counseling at Wyoming University summarizes the experiences by saying that, “UFO/UAP contactees have been chosen … no UFO/UAP contact is accidental … and that the manifestations are designed to influence the worldview of contactees…What follows is a summary of these claims about UFO/UAP experiences and related conditions:

1. UFO/UAP contactees have been chosen; no UFO/UAP contact is accidental.
2. Contactees are ordinary people, who exhibit a caring or a loving concern for all humankind…
4. UFO/UAP experiences include paraphysical, parapsychological, and spiritual manifestations which are designed to influence the “world view” of contactees.
8. Contactees are programmed for a variety of “future” activities, including awareness of their own contacts and desire to share their messages and knowledge with other contactees.
9. The lives of contactees move in the direction of greater self-awareness greater concern for the welfare of planet Earth, and a greater sense of Cosmic Citizenship with other beings in the universe.
10. The personal metamorphosis of UFO/UAP contactees is the forerunner of a social transformation in human consciousness, which now is leading to changes in the economic, educational, military, political, and religious institutions of nations of the Earth: the “New Age” of true science and spirituality.”

– quoted in Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters, pg 136-140, Ronald D. Story, Editor

You get that, Book of Revelation buffs? Expert, secular, PhD opinion… is that aliens are prepping people to accept the merging of politics, religion and money into a New Age system!

—Alien Resistance

Should the church address the UFO/UAP phenomenom? The answer is "yes". The reasons why: 1) The UFO/UAP phenomenom is affecting the consciousness of the culture globally. 2) Its alien occupants deliver an anti-Christ / anti-biblical message. 3) people are being harmed both physically, mentally and spiritually. Therefore, it's imperative that the church respond to this clear attack upon Biblical truth and help those who are seeking deliverance from the malevolent behavior encountered. To fail to do so, would reflect a disregard of what God has call the church to do. (Jude 1: 3)

The following appeared on Alien Resistance website.  I'm convinced that their questions can be converted into a usable frame work (see bold)

"In July of 2009 eleven Christian ministers and scholars were asked 50 questions. ..Note that all participants have spent years investigating the UFO/UAP topic from a Biblical perspective, and many are published authors on the topic."  Six of the questions dealt with questions about how the church should address this phenomenon.

45. Do you believe that the facts and claims represened by the UFO/UAP and “alien” phenomena warrant further theological evaluation by the Christian church? Yes

46. Do you believe the church should categorize “alien abduction” as a spiritual warfare topic? Yes

47. Do you believe the church should regard “alien abduction” in the same category as “ghosts” and “magic”? Yes

48. Do you believe the church should regard “abductees” as under a form of spiritual attack, much in the same manner as people with “ghost activity” in their homes or people attacked by “incubus or succubus”? Yes

49. Do you believe deliverance ministries could do more to help “alien abductees”? Yes

50. Do you believe the Christian church should be doing more targeted efforts to reach the Alien/UFO/UAP subculture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Yes

In my humble opinion, I believe each question (above) provides a do able, effective framework for the local church to implement in its engagement of spiritual warfare against the anti-biblical teaching originating from the UFO/UAP

—Alien Resistance

I believe that the whole UFO/UAP phenomena will fall under the lying signs and wonders category by the fallen spiritual realm. There will be a lot more of this demonic phenomenon even to the point governments and militaries will no longer deny their existence.

A sign of the spiritual crisis of today is that contemporary humanity, for all their proud “enlightenment” and “wisdom,” reject the Christian framework with which to explain the UFO/UAP phenomenon. Contemporary UFO/UAP researchers, seeking an explanation of the phenomena have joined today’s psychic researchers in an attempt to formulate a “unified field theory” that will encompass psychic as well as physical phenomena. Researchers continue the approach of modern men who trust their so-called scientific observations rooted in materialism to give answers in a spiritual realm that cannot be approached objectively at all, but can only be properly evaluated with the knowledge of the faith in the testimony of scriptures. The physical world is morally neutral and may be known rather well by an objective observer; but the invisible spiritual realm comprises beings both good and evil, and the materialistic observer has no means of distinguishing one from the other unless he accepts the revelation which the invisible God has made known to man. A failure to ignore the Biblical testimony will lead to a wrong conclusion as to what is actually taking place within the UFO/UAP phenomenon and could prove fatal to humanity.

There is sufficient information and activity in the UFO/UAP arena that demand that the believing church give a Biblical response to the anti-biblical messaging and malevolent behavior of the UFO/UAP entities. This area represents an evangelist missionary field where people are being pursuded by the UFO/UAP message, demonically oppressed and, in some cases, even possessed as they fall under the control of the UFO/UAP entities.
