There it was, in the news last week: the federal government in the United States had set up a website dedicated to UFO disclosure called “aliens.gov.”
That was through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and came a month after President Donald Trump said he would order relevant government agencies to release government files about extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena, and unidentified flying objects. His comments were preceded by ones from former President Barack Obama, who commented that there was probably life out there.
It will be intriguing.
Will it settle a slew of questions?
First and foremost, of course, a massive plethora of onlookers will want to know if there is, finally, tangible proof of an alien presence or presences on earth.
If so, they will want to see it or them.
Despite countless claims over the decades—indeed, countless sightings over just the past several years—there has not yet been a scintilla of undeniable material verification, at least not in the public domain. As they click that new government hyperlink, many will especially be holding their breaths to see if America indeed has the remains of crashed UFOs and their occupants, as has been alleged at half a dozen spots in the U.S. and additional ones in Latin America, China, Italy, and Russia.
Has there truly been contact? Have there been (as has also been alleged since the days of Eisenhower) actual communication? (And if so, of course: what has been said and is more than one alien race visiting?)
Questions, questions. Is it true that in 1933, long before Roswell, an alien craft crashed in Italy and was taken into possession by the Vatican after Mussolini fell from power, then was handed over to the U.S?
If they exist, are they like us? Or are the aliens automatons?
The key word was in what President Trump uttered when first announcing that the U.S. military would begin to disclose what it allegedly possesses.
That word (or rather phrase) was “very complicated.”
The complexity may be in the fact that, if UFOs exist, they are not so much from another planet as another dimension.
Many believe “aliens” are from a time-space that parallels ours and that they appear and disappear so vanishingly, and without leaving much proof, because of that trans-dimensionality.
This wanders into the realm of spirits.
Many orbs of light reported as alien craft resemble spirit lights seen by ancients up to the present, not just in the sky but in graveyards and inside “haunted” homes: In other words, the lights often seem to be non-material entities.
And this has raised the distinct possibility (in our view, probability) that many if not most are demonic.
In fact, this concern has even been expressed by the Defense Department, wherein are some who don’t want to meddle in what they believe is devilish territory.
They have substantial reason for concern. After government and academic investigations of places like “Skinwalker Ranch” in Utah (a UFO hotspot), researchers complained about poltergeist activity in their homes. Translation: the entities seemed to have followed or attached to them.
Things suddenly went bump in the night.
Jacques Vallée, one of the most prominent and influential UFO researchers of all time, has never explicitly claimed that UFOs are the Antichrist in a traditional theological sense. However, his perspective strongly resonates with biblical and eschatological concerns—and his ideas have influenced many Christian thinkers who do link UFO phenomena to deceptive end-times events.
He believes non-human intelligences may be manipulating human belief systems, potentially preparing the world for a major (and one might posit anti-Christian) ideological transformation.
Many who have had alleged alien encounters have reported that “aliens” can go through walls, dematerialize, cause illness, and leave behind the telltale odor of sulfur. (They also seem to appear alongside “bigfoot” and other cryptids.)
The devil is, of course, the prince of deceit. His minions can even assume physical attributes. On the other hand, there are countless planets and thus (theoretically) countless possibilities for extraterrestrial life.
In delving into this topic, the fear, simply put, is that government types and other scientists who have no knowledge of the occult are stepping into perilous territory and could, at this dark time in history, drag the public with them.
