Article #403

After years of requests, the United States government recently released hundreds of UFO files. The files contain UFO eyewitness accounts, videos, audios and other evidence compiled from 1942 to 2025.
It’s called the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PERSUE). The government has dropped the term UFO and replaced it with UAP which stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. The term UFO is still commonly used by the general public.
For years there’s been bipartisan concern regarding the information held by the US government about UFOs . Congressmen, military officers, intelligence officials and concerned citizens have been pushing for a release of this information.
In 2022, NASA conducted an inquiry and concluded there was no evidence of aliens visiting earth.
In 2024, the US Department of Defense officially disclaimed it had any information or evidence of extra-terrestrial life or technology from alien beings.
Not satisfied with government inquiries, people pressed on for a full declassification and release of all UFO information. In February of 2026, President Trump ordered federal agencies to gather all their files and information on UFOs so they can be declassified and made public online at www.war.gov/UFO/.
UFO Files Begin to be Released
There were two major releases of files in May. The first release of declassified files occurred on May 8th 2026. They consisted of more than 150 files, including photos, videos, eyewitness accounts, military records and even astronaut transcripts.
This first release was met with mixed reviews from the UFO concerned public. Many of the files had already previously been released. Some of them have been available for decades and those that were newly released did not give anything of particular drama.
This was followed by a second release on May 22nd of over 200 documents, including 51 audios, 40 videos and other material that gave a more comprehensive view of what the government has. There is a promise of more releases to come.
US government agencies released videos of aircraft defying the laws of physics. There were videos of alleged aircraft making 90° turns at extreme high speeds that would destroy any aircraft or spacecraft that we know about. This just gives further evidence that UFO phenomena, since they apparently violate the laws of physics, are not physical but are actually from the spirit world.
Conspiracy Theories Debunked
Part of the reason for the release of these files is to debunk conspiracy theories regarding UFOs. Two major classifications of conspiracy theories are:
1) The government is concealing evidence of UFOs so as not to alarm the public.
2) The government is actively in contact with extraterrestrial aliens and cooperating with them and using extraterrestrial alien technology and making military applications from this technology.
The released files give no hard evidence to support either of these categories of conspiracy theories. That doesn’t stop conspiracy hardliners from continuing to believe the government is still hiding UFO evidence.
Pentecostal evangelist, Perry Stone reported that intelligence officials of the US government have met with evangelical leaders to give them a briefing and warning that UFO files were about to be released and the UFO evidence would be very dramatic. Bishop Alan Didio is one of several evangelical leaders who were present at the briefing.
Why be Concerned About UFOs?
One may wonder why I would be involved with discussions of UFOs since I’m writing articles that defend the Christian faith. Are UFOs some kind of threat to the Christian faith?
People claim to have received messages from extraterrestrials. These messages have often been of religious doctrines which form the basis of UFO cults. UFO cults are certainly a threat to people and ruin many lives. UFO cult doctrine contradicts biblical doctrine.
UFO Cults
Seducing spirits persuade the minds of people to put their faith in false cults of many types. Demonic deception can be very powerful, especially when directed at young, impressionable minds.
UFO cults are religious groups who receive doctrine from communication with alleged extraterrestrial beings through mental telepathy and more commonly in recent years, through alleged “abductions” to alien spacecraft.
Commonly identified UFO cults include Raelism, Aetherius Society, Ashtar Galactic Command, Chen Tao, Falun Gong, Heaven’s Gate and many others.
Aliens From Another Dimension
Extraterrestrial aliens, whether they appear as reptilians or greys, are actually spirits. They are not flesh and blood astronauts in metal spacecraft. Many UFO researchers, even secular ones, are coming around to see that UFOs and aliens are spirits from the spiritual dimensions of reality.
UFOs are not metal spaceships from other planets or from bases under the ocean. UFOs come from a different, nonmaterial dimension of reality.
Extraterrestrial or Interdimensional
UFO researchers are divided into two different viewpoints in explaining UFOs. These viewpoints are the extraterrestrial hypothesis and the interdimensional hypothesis.
The extraterrestrial hypothesis is the claim that UFOs are metal spaceships with astronauts from planets in star systems within our own physical universe.
The interdimensional view is that UFOs are nonphysical entities or spirits that travel from different dimensions and enter our universe from the unseen spiritual realm.
The interdimensional hypothesis is more consistent with the Bible and the Christian worldview because it can be inferred that the other dimensions from which UFOs travel are the same as the realm of spirit. The Bible certainly teaches about the spirit world.
Christian researchers and some secular researchers reject the extraterrestrial hypothesis and maintain the interdimensional view. Famous secular UFO researcher, Jacques Vallee, holds to the interdimensional hypothesis.
It’s not astronauts from outer space but spirit beings from the realm of spirit. Malevolent UFO aliens are demons and they can disguise themselves as humanoid beings or astronauts.
UFOs have been tracked at extreme speeds and making 90 degree turns at such speed that the momentum shift would destroy any metal spacecraft.
I’m aware that good angels can also occasionally appear as lights in the sky or as lights on earth. In the Bible, in Acts 12:7, we read of an angel appearing to the apostle Peter in his prison cell in light.
Also remember that Ezekiel the prophet, saw some bizarre but holy phenomena recorded in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:4-28). Angels are good spirits that inhabit other dimensions. The dimensions they inhabit are the dimensions of the spirit world.
Demon Spirits Appearing as Space Aliens
I regard demonic UFO aliens who travel from the spirit dimensions as generally of the same category as poltergeists, hauntings, occultism, shamanism and other manifestations of evil spirits. I hold this view because the teachings that are transmitted from demonic aliens to leaders of UFO cults are antibiblical and often lead to bizarre behavior such as the Heaven’s Gate mass suicide.
Also, the horrific animal mutilations attributed to UFOs in which animals have their blood drained and have organs removed with surgical precision is further evidence of the demonic origin of UFO aliens.
Have no fear of demons appearing as flying saucers or disguised as extraterrestrial humanoid beings. Don’t be deceived by cult groups claiming extraterrestrial connections, doctrine and phenomena.
The Bible teaches that Christ is above all and every knee must bow before Him who conquered sin through His death and resurrection. People have thwarted UFO abductions by calling on Jesus Christ for help.
UFO aliens tempt young people with drama and adventure in our present age of rocketry and space exploration.
UFO cults lead people to spiritual ruin. UFO cults exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. They must be exposed and vigorously refuted. We should pray for followers of UFO cults to be set free from deception.
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Jesus Christ has Authority Over All Spirits
UFO “abductions” and UFO cults are a major avenue of deception that must be addressed. I don’t believe that people who claim to have been abducted were actually taken aboard a spacecraft.
I believe these abductions are nothing more than demonic dreams or visions implanted in unsuspecting people. Many if not most people who claim to be “abducted” are people who’ve been prior involved in the occult. Demons can put thoughts in human minds by mental telepathy.
There are many instances of people resisting and ending abduction attempts by calling on Jesus for help. The April 2001 issue of Charisma magazine, on page 46 gives details of one such instance.
Joe Jordan and Guy Malone, founders of the UFO research ministry, Alien Resistance, have documented hundreds of cases of people stopping alien abduction attempts by calling on Jesus Christ.
If you are confronted by demons appearing as UFOs or aliens, tell them to go away in the name of Jesus Christ. Always speak the name of Jesus Christ aloud during the confrontation. The Bible says: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
We must point people to Jesus Christ who came in fulfillment of over 300 Old Testament Bible prophecies written hundreds of years before His birth. No other person in all of history can match this claim! Jesus worked miracles in front of eyewitnesses and this is recorded in the Gospels of the New Testament. Miracles continue to be worked today by Christians who rely on the power of Christ.
Our Creator Redeems Us
Everybody gets what they want. If you love and serve God in this life, you will be with God in the afterlife. If you choose to reject God in this life you will be separated from the goodness of God in the afterlife. Choose to be with God!
Our Creator is also our Redeemer. God, the Father, sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, the Messiah of Israel, to suffer and die taking the penalty of our sins upon Himself. This is called substitutionary atonement. God is the one who saves us through the work of His Son by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Old Testament prophets foretold that Christ would suffer and die for the sins of the people. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6).
Of Christ it is written: “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed” (I Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible).
Jesus said about Himself, that He “did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28 NASB).
God has great love for all humanity. Christ rose from the dead to offer forgiveness of sins to all who turn to Him in repentance. I invite you to turn to Christ today to receive forgiveness of sins!
Steps to salvation:
Jesus said “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).
Prayer to receive salvation:
“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
To receive the salvation that Jesus purchased for us at the terrible cost of His suffering and death on our behalf I invite you to pray this simple prayer:
“Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus, the promised Messiah, to die for my sins. I admit that I am a sinner. I repent of my sins and I ask for your forgiveness on the basis of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit to empower me to serve you under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
If you prayed this prayer in the humble sincerity of your heart then you have received everlasting life, which includes power to live right in this life and entrance into heaven in the afterlife!
