For me, it was Betty and Barney Hill in New Hampshire for various reasons.

I know my humble opinion isn’t popular, but I have to say it; there are no aliens, at least none that can visit earth.

Voyager was launched in 1977, and it took 35 years to reach the outer teaches of our solar system.

Round trip would take 70 years. There are no humans capable of enduring such a trip, not to mention a life support system to keep someone alive, isolated in space for so many years.

In 2012, Voyager entered inter-stellar space, and it will take 40,000 years to reach the next star system.

Any ‘Aliens’ would be subject to the same boundaries of space, time and gravity as earthlings.

And for those who think that people can be transported to another planet by turning them into a beam of light, and then be reassembled elsewhere, such things are absolutely impossible.

And even if such a thing WERE possible, it would take 87,000 years to cross our own galaxy, traveling at the speed of light.

For better or worse, we are trapped on this planet, and we are alone with ourselves.

I was thinking that seemed to be a Close Encounter of the 4th Kind

You assume that interstellar aliens use the exact same tech we have.

But to travel those distance they would need to be using tech at least 1,000 years better. And what if their tech is 1,000,000 years better?

On the scale of civilizations we are not even a class 1 civilization, because we cannot even harness the full power of the Earth. Class 3 civilizations can harness the power of a galaxy.

Further, what if the purported “aliens” are not aliens at all but a native species? One that has been here long before we came on the scene? What if they are humans that had their civilization destroyed by the Comet Strike 10,900 years ago?

[When people turn their backs on God]

Those are definitely the times we live in. Our Godless Society exerts a tremendous amount of pressure to disbelieve.

The problem with calling UFOs "demonic entities" is that demons are immaterial spirits that can possess humans, so what are they possessing in ETs?

If demonic ETs are extraterrestrials or at least real in a material sense, then we have complicated the problem of their origins and intentions by adding in a demonic aspect.

Moreover, when demons appear to people in their true form, they are horrifically ugly and rancid in odor while ETs are neither. And why would demonic, immaterial spirits needs UFOs for transportation?

“I just want to see ONE alien spacecraft up close.”

My cousin — totally NOT a flake — said that he and his brother saw one on the ground in a field at our family farm back in the ‘60s. Rural western NYS.

Sounds like a Close Encounter of the First Kind

Seeing the object within about 500 feet (unless there were “beings” - then it would be Second Kind, I think)

That is EXACTLY right. When the Christians go “poof!” in a twinkling of an eye, alien abduction will be the rationalization. (Satan isn’t stupid.)

It will be the single “best, most likely” scenario

I believe in the wake of the Satan shall deploy his Antichrist False Messiah

And then nothing will shut him down for 7 years, all the way to the Real Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Even so, come Lord Jesus

(but I have NO desire for those 7 years of Tribulation - for the evil unleashed will be like nothing ever seen on the face of the Earth)

“And WHY does my U.S. Government, after denying it for DECADES, suddenly want me to believe in UFOs?”

IMO, the more time that passes, the more Satan is staffing political positions in DC — and around the world. It only makes sense that they would be spreading this bile to further his false narrative re the Rapture.

“I’m thinking aliens are already here in the form of liberals.”

I would change the word, “aliens”, to “demons”. Seriously.

That’s , at best, evidence of something in the air that can’t be identified at this time. That’s a far cry from “aliens”.

“UFOs are demonic manifestations”

That is the kindergarten version of what is happening.

Demons are real and all around us.

Unfortunately for aliens the demons are all around them as well.

That means that many aliens, like many humans are evil.

In addition many aliens, like many humans are lying virtue signalers.

Handle both with care.

I know missionaries who have seen them. Terrifying.

I was about 12 when my Dad and I heard a local radio personality talking to their remote crew about seeing and following a UFO. They claimed to be in the vicinity of the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Dad, totally out of character, wanted to drive over and see for himself what was going on.

As we approached Lockhart Stadium, on the south side of the airport, we saw a bright, bluish-white, oval shaped thing flying about 50 feet above the ground, heading south. Sure enough a WFTL van was following it. We could hear them on the radio describing it as we watched them.

The craft...or whatever...crossed perpendicularly in front of us, maybe 200 yards away or less, and as it approached Commercial Blvd. it accelerated and arced up into sky, disappearing to the south.

The more that our Godless Society puts Godless politicians in power, the more access Satan has to world governments.

But the idiot masses want Abortion and Homosexual Marriage - an affront to Almighty God - Who has prophesied that there will be Sudden Destruction - but they won't listen - just like they did not listen before

And Sudden Destruction is prophesied for the Days of Lot

Even thus shall it be
in the Day when the
Son of Man is revealed...
