Rooster:

This book has many examples of folks discussing UFOs with their clergy...

https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-College-Scientists-Discovered-Influence/dp/1938398270

The line between religious “miracles” and UFOs can be close to invisible at times.

There are some amusing examples where the Priests and Ministers declare the first report “insane” and then “convert” when they witness it themselves.

I've got that book on Audible. Love it.

Perhaps I should go back and read it again.

There is also the matter of the line between supernatural/divine and preternatural/demonic.

Tucker, having not yet squared himself away spiritually, would not necessarily be able to discern on this level.

For example This Guy decided for himself a while back after much study that Garabandal falls into the latter category. Medjugorje also very problematic.

Been on the verge of throwing Divine Mercy into the same (personal) ash heap. Can’t abide the appearance that “Divine Mercy” fails to strike a balance with, or even minimally contend with, the certainty of divine justice/wages of sin.

So many others, though, truly inspire deeper and deeper devotion. Examples being Our Lady of Fatima (Miracle of the Sun 1917), Lourdes (”I am the Immaculate Conception.”), Knock, Akita, Guadalupe, Zeitoun (Egypt).

On the other hand, it’s wise to blissfully and deliberately ignore the preternatural/demonic. Especially when the latter is appearing deceptively to “ape” the supernatural/divine.
