In midst of unending wars and drama, Trump finally loosened the strings on America’s grab bag of UFO evidence, to much acclaim and euphoria. And as a subset, perhaps the most evocative and compelling idea is that UFOs might presume deviltry. So, the following is a summary of the notion that UFOs are not just random visitors from another galaxy but are in fact the products of the satanic worldview and are designed to mislead and entrap naive or presumptuous humans
The remarkable theory that UFOs (or UAP) are not aliens is called the "demonic UFO hypothesis," implying these elements are spiritual, supernatural, or extra-dimensional evil entities, instead of random extraterrestrial visitors. This belief, associated with Christian worldview, states UFO experiences are sent for satanic purposes, to mislead and bedevil humans.
While seemingly novel, the idea of a demonic source of UFOs has been contemplated for decades. And while this may sound bizarre to those unfamiliar with the topic, it could actually solve important conundrums. So, in 1954, faith healer/evangelist Walter Vinson "W.V." Grant Sr published the booklet "Men in Flying Saucers Identified: Not a Mystery!" suggesting UFOs were demonic.
This theory assumes UFO phenomena are not mere extraterrestrial spaceships, but inter-dimensional spiritual entities with advanced illusions to deceive humanity and undermine traditional religious beliefs.
Specifically, researchers noted UFO sightings are often joined by cultic activities of demonic poltergeists and spiritual possession. If these events ever include a message, it’s de rigueur they include anti-biblical elements excoriating or mocking Jesus and Christianity. Devils would deny the deity of Jesus Christ, undermine foundational Christian truths, or offer a "gospel" of cosmic evolution against biblical teachings. In Christian theology, the idea Satan disguises himself as an "angel of light" fits.
But, for just physical activities, add to this the absolutely jaw-dropping and scientifically impossible moves that UFO ships often display, some of which would cause bone break or death to the average human pilot. Consider 90° turns at extreme speed, at the drop of a hat without any Sonic booms, that would kill the mortal.
The Book of Enoch details the story of the Watchers, a class of 200 angels sent to Earth who, upon seeing human women, rebelled. They made a pact to take them as wives, descending on Mount Hermann. Their forbidden union created the Nephilim, giant human-angel hybrids who wreaked havoc on the world. But it gets darker…
So, does the demonic theory change your feelings about UFOs?
