Are Aliens Real? Do UFOs Exist? Astrophysicist Reveals Why These Things Aren’t What They Seem, and Can Seem So ‘Terrifying’

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.”

[Hebrews 11:6]

This is Hugh Ross' book on UFOs.

I have one of Hugh Ross’s books. I think it’s *The Fingerprint of God.

It was good.

That book looks interesting.

Anyone interested enough to find out what is behind this UFO phenomena and what maybe real and what may be not may want to watch this interview https://youtu.be/p2hk8Qp8dd0 The person being interview is an MD and is an expert on this subject and has researched it for more than thirty years. This interview is somewhat lengthy but since this is a multi faceted subject it cannot be explained in just a few minutes. Many technological advancement are pointed out in this interview which most likely will show up in the not too distant future. I believe it to be a very worthwhile interview to watch.

Yes, Demonic activity is happening.
The issue involves human beings and angels and that’s pretty much it.

Thanks for the link.

Yes, it is long, but I’ll give it a shot. Not much brain power involved in pinning a quilt together.

There are different rules for angels in good standing. Demons are consigned to Hell, while angels are not.

[Rockingham]

I have heard the same, but by some accounts, tall gray aliens are in charge of the small gray aliens. Spielberg's Close Encounters took that view in the closing sequence. Travis Walton's abduction experience is to the same effect, as is that of Jim Sparks, who supposed went from abductee to conscious cooperator with tall grays running things.

[Hebrews 11:6]

All of Hugh's two-dozen books are not only good and interesting, as you say, but are informative and inspiring also.

The Fingerprint of God was Hugh's first full-length book. If you're interested in a much-newer followup, I recommend the fourth edition of The Creator and the Cosmos.

Hugh left astronomy to become the Evangelism Minister at our church. Ten years later he and his wife Kathy founded the science-faith think-tank Reasons to Believe.

Meanwhile, Hugh has taught the Paradoxes in Scripture class for over four decades; recent years are video-archived here.

The really interesting thing is that Christians have reported that when they actually encountered these kinds of beings and they attempted to abduct them, THEY WERE ABLE TO CAUSE THE ABDUCTION TO STOP BY INVOKING THE NAME OF JESUS.

THANK YOU!!!

Honestly, though, we don't really know much about either angels or demons. We are told by the Bible that there is a vast number of those beings we refer to as angels and perhaps there is even a vast array of types.

Some fallen angels (like the Prince of Persia in Daniel 10:13) are on earth and have incredible power. We might conclude these are the "principalities and powers of the air" of Ephesians 6:12.

Theologians have speculated about beings in the spirit world, and, as is typical, some speak with a hubristic authority they really don't have, but in the end, that is a realm we know next to nothing about.

[Rockingham]

In addition to the Bible and non-Christian scriptures, demonologists and exorcists know a good bit about demons and there are several reliable books about what they know.

[RoosterRedux]

Yep.

I remember when I first read Malachi Martin's "Hostage to the Devil." I was staying in the little bed and breakfast in New Canaan, Connecticut.

Before I went to bed, I put the book out on the front porch in a rocking chair. I wouldn't have slept a wink with that book in my bedroom.;-)

“Why then, has no one ever captured a single decent photo...”

I have given this very question a lot of thought.
And after watching hundreds of hours of fuzzy unfocused videos of supposed aliens, ghosts, cryptids and the like, I have reached this conclusion: these entities do indeed exist, and are so smart as to appear only to idiots who couldn’t pour water out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel, let alone operate the most basic smartphone camera. They are crafty devils, these “paranorms”! 😉

Thank-you for the link. I’ll be listening later on.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

I agree, and The Bible doesn’t allow for “aliens” to exist, if you are a Christian.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Another interesting question is how a true Christian gets abducted by a demon in the first place—inasmuch as Dr. Ross reports a strong correlation with the occult by those reporting demonic encounters.

One suspects the lesson was learned: once burned, twice wise.

[Rockingham]

That was quite a gripping book. About a year after I read Hostage to the Devil, I learned the details of menacing supernatural goings on experienced by a family I knew well. It fit the pattern of demonic infestation as described by Martin. The family eventually got relief through the help of a local Catholic priest.

[Saintgermain]

If you happen to watch it and wouldn’t mind telling me what you thought of it, I would appreciate it. Take care an have a great day.

[ViLaLuz]

Rather than literal space creatures, Ross believes alien encounters are actually spiritual manifestations.

No doubt.
