Are aliens real? Do UFOs really exist? These questions, once relegated to the confines of conspiratorial enterprises, are now legitimately being pondered among some scientists, academics — and even in the halls of Congress.
It’s an issue Dr. Hugh Ross, an astrophysicist and apologist, has long researched and explored.
“I became a UFO expert, but not on purpose,” he recently told “Billy Hallowell’s Playing With Fire.” “I was an amateur astronomer before I became a professional astronomer.”

I don’t think God would allow us to know other beings, beyond our planet, because we cannot know what we are dealing with.
Yes, unidentified objects, that are flying, do exist. That's what "UFO" means. How does the writer not know this? It's "acronyms 101".
Just curious why you would think that.
Angels and demons aren’t even from our realm, yet both are in the Bible.
God created the entire Universe and the multitude of life on this planet. We are made in His image, but all of the thousands of other creations He made are not.
There is nothing to suggest that He hasn’t created life elsewhere.
Because, I believe that is done for our protection. The rest of the universe watches the happenings on earth, but I do not believe they are involved in our dealings.
I am a believer in life throughout the universe, but I don’t believe they are allowed to involve themselves on our planet, for the time being, because we don’t have the ability to discern who is the good guy and who is not.
That’s why, until God brings to a close, I will consider all dealings with aliens to be deception.
What's the scriptural support for that premise...?
If you want strict Scripture, there is only man and only angels, aside from God.
My premise is that God does create lie, so there is probably other life out there. Why I believe they cannot interfere is because the nature of sin must be fully revealed so doubt about God can be removed.

I am inclined to think that what we see as aliens are many different kinds of beings that operate with different kinds of technology and for different purposes. Some aliens are benign and others are deeply dangerous, but with all f them restrained though by agreements among themselves that limit the worst possibilities.
This was more or less how the European powers operated during the era of colonial expansion. They carved the world up and had rules of sorts to share and thereby (mostly) prevent competition among themselves from turning into constant war.
As for God and angels, they too exist but reside in a separate realm of spirit and consciousness.
I'm not in a position to know what God allows or does not outside of the Ten Commandments and the words of Our Lord as found in the New Testament.
Doesn't say anything about a superabundance of alien life, or lack thereof. If they look like a Nordic, do you offer them hospitality? Feed and clothe them if they are hungry? 
If they are little and gray, do you refuse hospitality because they are ugly? 
Since I believe that they are not allowed to visit us right now, the only reasonable conclusion is that any that do claim to be life from another planet is going to be a deception. :)
I fully believe that, after the coming of the Christ, we will be ambassadors to the universe because we were the most involved in the sin issue.
I agree with you that there is life in the universe, but it would contaminate this experiment if they were allowed to interact with us.
God is laying to rest, through us, to the idea that even small sins are dangerous ones. That’s what I believe.
But if we look behind Door #2, a clearer candidate for ET emerges.
“We are made in His image ...”
We must remember those words were written by man reflecting a deep psychological need for humans to prefer the familiar over the unfamiliar as do all creatures on this planet.
If the concept of G-d exists among other intelligent life forms somewhere out there, it is likely that the “... in His Image ...” concept reflects their physical form as well.
I can’t do Patriotand Liberty.... it’s a look at me blog like Nextrush.
I see a logic of sorts to your views but I do not agree with them. There is far too much evidence for alien visitation.
I understand. It’s my worldview alone, but it is what I believe.
There is lots of evidence for alien invasion. There is no evidence as to whom is doing the invading with certainty.
There is no better deception for our age than some Federation of planets, with Satan as the head ambassador, ready to invite us to join him.
