UFOs and aliens may not neatly match the Hollywood depiction of advanced races from far off planets reaching us through worm holes or inter-dimensional portals. Daily sightings of anomalous airborn crafts worldwide and accounts of alien abduction might find an explanation in something as handy as your Bible.
The aliens may indeed be fallen angels.
The very first Christian symposium on aliens will address this idea July 3-5, organized by Guy Malone, author and co-founder of Alien Resistence - an organization that studies Biblical ideas on the UFO and alien abduction phenomena.

UFOs and aliens may not neatly match the Hollywood depiction of advanced races from far off planets reaching us through worm holes or inter-dimensional portals. Daily sightings of anomalous airborn crafts worldwide and accounts of alien abduction might find an explanation in something as handy as your Bible.
The aliens may indeed be fallen angels.
The very first Christian symposium on aliens will address this idea July 3-5, organized by Guy Malone, author and co-founder of Alien Resistence - an organization that studies Biblical ideas on the UFO and alien abduction phenomena.
Malone’s “In a Nutshell” web page at alienresistence.org walks readers through a quick explanation - citting Biblical chapter and verse.
“The Bible contains relevant information about what many believe to be a recent phenomenon, that neither most modern churches, nor most modern ufologists, are well informed about,” Malone says on his web site.
“Of those that are, many are simply not comfortable with teaching on the subject. Others intentionally repress the information they do have - often for financial gain, to avoid controversy, or to advance an agenda.”
Malone moved to Roswell, NM, home to the famous UFO crash at Roswell, “very simply to be in the Roswell mecca that it is.” Malone came as a Christian missionary with him “to oppose the doctrines prevalent in the UFO field so that people could understand the Biblical perspective.”
This first Christian symposium on alien abduction, he believes, will gather together an elite team of authors and PhDs who are noted Christian experts for the UFO phenomena. They will present a strong case with evidence that what Hollywood depicts as interplanetary travelers - are actually fallen angels.
The speaker line-up is impressive.

Lynn Marzulli, D. Min - “The UFO Phenomena is Real, Burgeoning, and Not Going Away”
Marzulli is the author of the fictional Nephilim Trilogy (published by Zondervan) and the non-fiction Politics, Prophecy and The Supernatural. He holds an honorary doctorate (D. Min.) from Pacific International University for his research on Nephilim.
Marzulli has researched the topic of UFO cults in depth, which became the basis for his the Nephilim Trilogy. His research has convinced him that serious spiritual deception is going on, and many people are falling under its spell. He wrote the trilogy to help people understand the spiritual dimensions of the whole UFO phenomenon, which he sees as part of the end times prophesied in The Book of Revelation, The Book of Daniel, and elsewhere in the Bible. He emphasizes that “The present political landscape is in direct correlation to supernatural events, that happened, in some cases, millennia ago.”
Michael S. Heiser, PhD - “Why an Extra-Terrestrial God Appeals to Today’s Culture”

In 2008, Bennett was invited to speak at a United Nations and World Council of Churches-sponsored international conference in Montreal, Canada, with the conference theme of “Reconnecting Heaven and Earth, in Spirit, Space and the Human Psyche.” This group has also created a new, ecumenical religious order called “The Order of the Transfiguration,” an “ecumenical order with links to the United Nations and the World Council of Churches”, which studies “apparitions, post-mortem contacts with dead saints, invocations of saints and angels,” amongst other things, which “is dedicated as a ‘mid-wife’ of a New Humanity in a New World Order. Bennett was (somehow, miraculously!) the ONLY evangelical Christian invited to present at this conference. He (somehow, miraculously!) escaped with his life, and will be repeating this lecture at our conference.
July 5th, 2009 The First Christian Symposium on Aliens

Recently published in UFO Digest: Abductions Stopped In Jesus Name!
This event is free to the public to attend, but organizers warn that Roswell is typically packed on UFO Festival Weekend. Pre-register to ensure guaranteed seating by pre-ordering the two DVD set containing July 4 lectures (5 lectures on 1 DVD) and July 5th symposium. You can order online here.
Some of the comments on the examiner site are really wacko!
Interesting concept.
THANKS THANKS.
Doubt I’ll be able to make the trip down. Though my Aunt at Las Cruces would dearly love to see me as I would to see her and her family.
The DVD’s are certainly worth it, no doubt.
I have the ones from an earlier conference Guy had on the topic.
They are top flight experts and analyses.
Guy is a top flight sort of guy. He has tons of my respect.
There ain't no difference between a flying saucer or a time machine...
I have read that some of the plain indian greetings were used to discover if they faced, friend or foe.
6 Fingers and all.
Hmmm..., this name — Michael S. Heiser, PhD — I recognize. I’ve communicated with him on Chuck Missler’s member boards. He’s well-regarded there and has a lot of materials about those angels...
It’s interesting and I do think that Genesis 6 is about the fallen angels cohabiting with women on earth. It appears to be “solid” in regards to the text itself and its meaning, and what it has meant to Jewish scholars in the past centuries, not to say anything about a significant number of Christian scholars, too...
[ ... a ping to y’all, too... ]
People are seeing and photographing them all over the world almost everyday. Either the governments of the world are messing with us or UFOs and aliens might be reality. The evidence is mounting with the avent of things like video cameras and phones. Flip your phone, press a button and zip you have a photo. My mind is open. I wouldn’t be surprised if either they were the product of a terrestrial black ops program or from another planet.
THOSE FLYING SAUCERS
(Cy Coben-Charlie Green, 1947)
You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
It’s a sign there’s no doubt of the trouble that’s about
So I say my friends you’d better start to pray
They’re a terrifying sight as they fly on day and night
It’s a warning that we’d better mend our ways
You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
Many people think the saucers might be someone’s foolish dream
Or maybe they were sent down here from Mars
If you’ll just stop and think you’d realize just what it means
They’re more than atom bombs or falling stars
And though the war may be through there’s unrest and trouble brewin’
And those flying saucers may be just a sign
That if peace doesn’t come it will be the end of some
So repent today, you’re running out of time
When you see a saucer fly like a comet through the sky
You should realize the price you’ll have to pay
You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
The Buchanan Brothers, RCA Victor 20-2385, 1947

A bump...Quix, will you be attending this convention (or have you gone to any previous ones?)
You said — “Interesting concept.”
It’s really been a long-established idea in the Christian community, and not a “Johnny-come-lately” one...
I’m talking about the connection between the supposed “alien sightings” (of craft and/or any other kind of supposed “alien” interaction). There has always been a “religious nature” to a lot of this, which has been peculiar, in a simply secular sense, but not peculiar if you connect it with the evil and fallen angels.
But, the connection for the fallen angels cohabiting with women on earth is an idea that has *very long standing* — going back millennia and continuing into the present, with Christians. Although there are Christians who totally reject this — it’s because they *can’t stomach* the very idea itself and it’s too repulsive to them, and so they *invent* all sorts of contorted ideas (from the text) to say *anything* — other than what the text of the Bible says about this.
It’s not new... definitely...
Fair points.
Say, are you (or anyone else) going there? I would like to get some tapes (or CDs) of the proceedings. It sounds very interesting.
I’ve talked with Guy at length at the Aztec conferences.
And, I have all his DVD’s. At least that he’d produced at that time.
I doubt I’ll be able to go to this one. Have a LOT of irons in the fire for this summer.
And it is a very long drive, to me. And not that interesting a one! LOL.
Would love to go if it weren’t so far.
Thanks for the bump and for asking.
You can order those from his website now.
His stuff used to be at whatever donation was fitting to the person.
I don’t know if he’s changed that policy or not.
He’s worth a significant donation above production costs and handling.
His panels of experts are top flight, imho.
I am confident they will film the sessions and have DVD’s after it is over. I am familiar with several of the speakers and would thoroughly enjoy watching their talks.
I read his book "Facade"...it was OK but not great. He is probably much better at scholarly writing than fiction.
Read the Book of Enoch (available online) and then reread Genesis 6 and the Book of Jude.
Enoch (though pseudepigraphal, it was found with the Dead Sea Scrolls) sheds a lot of light on the canonical books.
Yeah, I’ve read some of his material, but not the his book, Facade. If I remember right, he talks about the “council of gods” quite a bit. And initially it raised concerns in my mind about it. I asked him about his faithfulness to the Word of God, in its doctrine and teachings and he claims to be solidly conservative, Biblical, Evangelical and adhering to all the essential and basic doctrines of Christianity.
But, the “council of gods” thing was somewhat a departure from other scholarship, though...
—
As far as the DVDs, I found out that they are $29.50 for a set of two...
http://www.christiansymposium.com/
Yep, not sure where he gets that “council of gods” stuff. Sounds like vivid imagination or reading between the lines...or a little of both.
[ *** Okay, I can’t resist it... ***]
Well, I looked at that page for the Christian Symposium on Aliens...
http://www.christiansymposium.com/
And I see that they’ve got a place for people to stay, at the Best Western...
BUT, I was there in Roswell, a little while back, looking around and I stayed just a few blocks from there, at the Holiday Inn Express (great place to stay, by the way...).
And so, while I didn’t know a thing about UFOs or the alien abductions and the Nephilim before I got there, when I woke up the next day after staying at the Holiday Inn Express — I knew everything that I needed to know... :-)
You said — “Yep, not sure where he gets that “council of gods” stuff. Sounds like vivid imagination or reading between the lines...or a little of both.”
The posters over at Chuck Missler’s member’s forum discuss this quite a bit. And, apparently, Mike Heiser, is held in high regard. He does have something to do with a popular computer program, too — Bible software (can’t remember the name of it now).
And a lot of people seem to have “bought into it” without any problem, over at Chuck Missler’s forum site.
I will say this, that Mike Heiser doesn’t apparently just pull this “out of his hat” like a rabbit trick, out of nothing. He’s apparently done a lot of research on the matter and has presented “papers” on it, and a lot of it is far beyond what I can really get into.
I just feel that I don’t have the *complete grasp* of where he’s going with this idea, so I’m reluctant to “buy into it” at the present time...
Very interesting!
Yes I think everyone concerned is pondering the evidence that Aliens just might well be FALLEN ANGELS....
I don't think he would draw such conclusions without substantial effort. That said, I personally know nothing of that subject.
Let me know if remember the name of that computer software that Heiser is working with. I would be interested in digging into it.
ANOTHER TAKE — on the UFOs of the time...
I just got finished downloading a bunch of Billboard Top 100 songs (or Top 30, depending on the year), for the 50s...
I just listened to this one (and I remember it from back then...)...

The Purple People Eater
By Sheb Wooley
Released 6/2/1958
Well I saw the thing comin’ out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin’ and I said ooh-eee
It looks like a purple eater to me
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, dont eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what’s your line
He said it’s eatin’ purple people and it sure is fine
But that’s not the reason that I came to land
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin’ purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin’ purple people eater
Flyin purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin tune
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin purple people eater
Flyin little people eater
Sure looks strange to me
And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, areally knockin em dead
Playin rock and roll music through the horn in his head
Tequila
Listening to it again, now...

These songs in the 50s were probably generated by the “1952 Washington DC UFO incident”....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Washington_D.C._UFO_incident
—
The 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident, also known as the Washington flap or the Washington National Airport Sightings, was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 13 to July 29, 1952, over Washington D.C. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19–20 and July 26–27.
Longtime ufologist Richard H. Hall, who served as the assistant director of NICAP and as the director of the Fund for UFO Research, writes:
The summer 1952 UFO sighting wave was one of the largest of all time, and arguably the most significant of all time in terms of the credible reports and hardcore scientific data obtained.”
Thanks Quix.
The Genesis
Let US make man in OUR image has always been a bit of a puzzle to Jews and Christians alike.
The Trinity helps . . .
And then there’s the Bible ref to: “The 7 fold spirits of God”
That’s exactly right. That issue/question was raised in that Missler member forum (in connection with the “council of gods”) and that’s the answer I gave. It’s the “Trinity” speaking...
Some had been wondering, in light of Mike Heiser’s “council of gods” if it was “this council” that was speaking that...
imho,
Scripture does not give us enough info to be very dogmatic or specifically clear about such phrases.
GOD ALMIGHTY
IS
GOD ALMIGHTY
That’s sufficient, for me.
Well, that’s where Mike Heiser gets into a lot of the original language and what it means. And he *maintains* (for himself... :-) ...) that he is an expert in the matter of the language (and I’m sure he is...). But, he could still be wrong.
His contention is the the Trinity is one thing, but the council of gods is another. And that council of gods is a group of powerful angels (created beings, but powerful). And they meet in Heaven and have some sort of power over things (perhaps “governmental functions” — not clear on that...).
Anyway, it’s clear that it’s God who makes man — and not “other created beings” who make man....
I would think that this is pretty clear, in light of the fact of what John Chapter One says about Christ...
This is what I was referring to in John...
John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
In verse three, that’s the specific thing that refers to Jesus Christ as the one who made all things and nothing “that was made” — was made without Him.
Therefore, it can’t be the “council of gods” since they are not the Trinity, and they consist of angels (created beings). Thus, who is speaking in Genesis, is the Trinity...
I agree.
Thanks
“Purple People Eater” inspired a number of follow-ups, including “Cuban Purple People Eater” by Rene Touzet, which is essentially the same song, although the Cuban critter wears pantalones instead of short shorts and eats picadillo. He ends the song by shouting “Bacardi!”—still being made in pre-castro Cuba—instead of “Tequila!”
In “Bo Meets the Monster,” Bo Diddley recounts how a hideous Purple People Eater swept his girlfriend off into outer space—but the critter also saved Santa Claus from a Soviet Sputnik satellite in Sheb Woolley’s “Santa Meets the Purple People Eater.”
I especially like Buchanan & Goodman’s “The Flying Saucer Goes West” (1958), in which the space men threaten to destroy the Old West until General Elvis Presley and the Army ride in to save the day.
LOL..., I guess those didn’t make the Billboard Top 100... I didn’t see those, since I only got those songs... :-)
Missed that one... have to look for it...
I am rereading Enoch...and its amazing how things centuries ago fill in spots in the here and now...on wondering what do you think about Nostradamus and his many quatrains? do you think they are relavite to these times.?
I have never known what exactly to think of Nostradamus. He’s not a religious prophet (i.e. he isn’t speaking for God) yet he does seem to get awfully close to predicting some events.
Thanks for the ping, Quix.
