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”

He is best known to popular audiences for his paranormal thriller, The Facade, which intertwines many of his interests.
