Dirk Vander Ploeg, the Publisher of UFO Digest, recently asked me if I knew of alien abductions having been stopped by the utterance of the name of Jesus. He told me that 'apparently this information is being withheld by Mufon and other reporters, investigators etc.'
I reminded him that I had written about the possibility of such occurrences in several articles including, Extraterrestrials Tremble at the Name of Jesus, UFO Digest March 29, 2007, and more recently The Birth of Christ caused the Extraterrestrial Extraterrestrials Tremble at the Name of Jesus, UFO Digest March 29, 2007, and more recently The Birth of Christ caused the Extraterrestrial Fallen Angels to Tremble December 3, 2008.
The word of God tells us that demons (as well as fallen angels, i.e. extraterrestrials) tremble at the name of Jesus (James 2:19) because God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above all names (Philippians 2:9). At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow of those on the earth, and those under the earth and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10).
My own article last year, My Anonymous CIA Source: The Real Story of UFOs, UFO Digest, 6/16/08, revealed that my source in Washington who worked for the CIA for 25 years after working, I believe, for the top secret Operation Paperclip after WWII which brought Nazi scientists to America, some of whom were supposedly involved in flying saucer research, and who was in charge of security for President Kennedy’s visit to Germany in the early sixties, and was confidant to later Presidents, told me to “stay with my UFO writings about the Bible.” He then told me that “you have the truth. All else is opinion.” This statement from a man whom I trust and who served in the highest echelons.
>> And, I find the seemingly exceedingly narrow, uninformed, rigid bias represented in such assertion to be well beyond silly.
I believe in fallen angels/ demons, though I question how . I believe that sentient extraterrestrial life probably exists. I doubt that they have visited Earth — but, I’m certainly not sure.
I still see no reason to believe the two (ET and fallen angels) are connected.

Sorry for the incomplete sentence — the end of the sentence was, “... I question how active they are in everyday human affairs.”
Also ... I am not sure why you’re quite so hostile about the whole thing.

I just stumble across these threads. I can’t help you there...
I don’t know how serious I am. I’m probably not, in the conventional UFO-sense, as I don’t believe in advanced alien civilizations, but only that there are fallen angels who are out there to deceive mankind and help usher in the worldwide control that the Antichrist will achieve, once he shows up on the scene.
That’s my viewpoint of the matter. It probably doesn’t fit well with others who are interested in UFOs... (but neither does my thinking on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His Son, the Messiah of Israel, so that’s nothing new...).
As to “how real” these fallen angles can make supposed “craft” — I don’t know, but it’s conceivable that they deal in a physical kind of craft that we can put our hands on, and examine and see “for real” and yet do some of the things that are reported... That’s still an “open matter” for me...
—
I could put forth a conspiracy type of theory in this matter and say that since Jesus, the Messiah of Israel is returning to earth in a real and physical sense, and will do a real and “physical war” with millions of people on this earth (and kill millions of them, in battle [and I think a lot of them will be Muslims — how’s that for connecting Muslims and UFOs... LOL...]) — it’s possible that fallen angels want mankind to build advanced machinery to possibly be able to fight with as much power as possible, under the reign of the Antichrist — and *against* the return of Christ, with His followers, at the time Jesus does return to destroy the various nations on the earth and set up His worldwide rule here.
Is that conspiracy-minded enough for you... LOL...
Do you have a source for this claim about Missler?
I don't recall any verses where the bible addresses whether or not there is life on other planets. Personally, I'm 'agnostic' when it comes to intelligent life on other planets. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.
I don't think all these 'abduction' stories and UFO sightings are true, however.
You may be right... and he admitted he didn’t know for sure if it was a UFO, though it was certainly an unidentified flying object to him. But the point of the story, when he told it to me, and as I tell it now, is how you can think you want something really, really badly and suddenly change your mind when you think you might get it. I should think seeing ghosts would be rather similar.
You said — “Even the faith of a lot of “luke warm Christians” would be shaken or worse.”
That’s the one thing I would be afraid of, for other people. I’ve got a firm grounding in God’s Word (in terms of it being inerrant, infallible, authoritative and completely trustworthy), and I know where I stand in regards to it. But, others don’t have that firm of a grounding and they can be shaken. That will be bad for them.
Jesus said he had other sheep in other folds.
Do you have a source for this claim about Missler?
About Mars' supposed close passby of Earth? His podcast, sometime in December.
Reasonable points.
Alamo-Girl is an expert on the most authentic version of Enoch. And I always forget what that is.
Guy Malone goes into some detail with various experts on it, as well.
Some folks assert that the government abducts about half the abductees and ET’s the other half.
Haven’t read anything convincing about why—other than the hybrid breeding program . . .
some say for monitoring pollution etc.
Time will tell.
In my book, it’s evil, regardless.
Glad you now seem to be more open to the facts than earlier posts seemed to indicate.
However, I still see little evidence that you’ve really researched it much at all—particularly to sufficient depth and breadth to reasonably support having seemingly formed such rigid opinions.
I assure you, very active. Very active, indeed.
Evidently there’s more than 3,000,000 IIRC—IN THE USA ALONE—abductees—as a conservative solidly researched guesstimate.

How do you interpret Ezekiel’s
“chariot” ????
Sure sounds like some common types of UFO’s to many researchers.
And nothing in the Bible would preclude that.
Given the millions involved,
even 3% ends up being quite a lot of poor abused, deceived, beleagured folks.
INDEED.
My mother always liked dabbling in that kind of stuff. I haven’t had any desire to lay my hands on the planchette since I became a real Christian. And I worry for her soul, but, I was told, at church, during her funeral, in a voice only I could here, “we’ve got her”, and I felt comforted.
That said, wasn't it just conjecture on his part as to how a near pass-by might have occurred and how it might explain certain Biblical and historical occurrences?
Yes.
AND
ALL CREATION GROANS EXPECTANTLY, EAGERLY, YEARNINGLY FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD
my guess is—to help lead them out of the mess that the pollution of sin has afflicted ALL CREATION with.
The sheep in other folds would require quite a leap of extrapolation . . . but is quite plausible, to me.
How would you have written it differently?
