A leading Catholic scholar claimed that alleged alien abductions stories have parallels with people who say they have encountered demons.
Theologian Dr Paul Thigpen went on to add that aliens are in fact more than likely " demons ".
He also said that the US government know more than they publicly state in relation to UAPs ('Unexplained Aerial Phenomena' - a US military term for UFOs ).
Dr Thigpen told the National Catholic Register: “With UAP we may actually be dealing with extraordinary phenomena of various origins despite similar characteristics.
“Extra-terrestrial hypothesis – the notion that we are encountering non-human intelligences from locations in this universe beyond Earth - best accounts for many UAP.
“The diabolical hypothesis – that they are demons – best accounts for some UAP reports, especially some of the so-called alien abductions’ that demonstrate clear parallels with what the Church knows as demonic encounters.”
These comments come after the US government last year reported on 144 UFO sightings by military pilots since 2004, with only one being explained away as a balloon and the rest "largely inconclusive".

Yeah, agreed.
FWIW, I tend to agree with the idea that what appears to be alien encounters is demonic deception. Same thing for people who claim to see ghosts and old Aunt Martha haunting the back bedroom, and séances.
If Satan can appear as an angel of light to deceive people, then nothing else is out of the realm of possibility.
What I find interesting is how the agnostic/atheistic world believes in extraterrestrials and even has programs like SETI, but if you call them “angels” and “demons” you’re a religious kook.
That brought the UFO issue into focus for me.
We had some heated debates but we never got disrespectful.
I liked that about him and I believe that he liked that about me.
There are a LOT of Freepers these days who could take a lesson on that.
But the moderators aren’t stopping personal attacks like they used to.
I avoid those threads.
Now, of course the pro-alien people say that the little green men, being smarter than us, would have that all figured out. Maybe. Or, maybe Satan and his minions have it figured out.
That is an interesting thought. When I think of aliens visiting Earth from hundreds or even many thousands of light years away, the more likely I think it is that these beings (if they do in fact exist) could really be coming instead from a parallel universe. Our universe could be one of many in overall reality according to some theories.
Alternatively, if you’re willing to accept faster than light travel, you may as well also consider travel from other times in this universe.
That’s spacist!
Perhaps I should read another.
Can't remember if I read "Piercing the Darkness" or "This Present Darkness."
Have you read both? Which do you recommend?
Yep. Quix woulda been all over this; in fact he could have helped this professor out on a few points. I’m sorry he’s no longer with us.
Christian sci-fi story opportunities here...
Here's another:
People will point up to the sky and say that’s them! A UFO from another world!
I’ll say no, that’s us. It’s 100 year old suppressed Nikola Tesla technology.
People will point and say that’s them! An extraterrestrial biological entity!
I’ll say no, that’s us. It’s a human-demon genetic hybrid the Bible talks about in the Old Testament.
People will want to believe a lie because they themselves are demoralized liars.
I will live in the mountains and be patient.
They are here...in Memphis, in California, on Washington, DC...they are everywhere!
Or, the deamons sanctioned by the Church are actually aliens acting on Church turf

Judging from his fruit, I believe we know him.
Bergoglio’s legitimization of homosexuality is part of the agenda of the New World Order and it is the principal instrument with which the Enemy intends to destroy the Catholic priesthood, corrupting the souls of the Ministers of God.
Bergoglio will go along with whoever pays him and his church. It is no mystery why he stood and at the Mexico/US border and stated candidate Trump was no Christian for planning to build a wall. The Catholic church gets paid billions upon billions of dollars through the refugee resettlement program. The money comes directly from the U.S. Treasury. He’s been paid large sums of money from the Chinese communist party to maintain the church’s silence on the Uyghur concentration camps and genocide.
I think those scholars aren’t very scholarly.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Ephesians 6:12
The people who report (during regressive hypnosis) having seen this presence describe him as a kind of praying mantis-like creature wearing a hooded purple robe. Several accounts have this being sitting on a kind of throne-like captain's chair.

It's bad enough that Salamander has had creepy things happen when taking pictures on this planet. Why would I want to radio ET that I want him to come over and play?
Heheh. Your opinion is as good as the next guy’s.
Luke 10:18
“I saw Satan falling from heaven like lightning.”
is this close or no cigar?
