“Something big is coming, and you might want to get out in front of it…”
A word of advice from my older brother, given to me last week when I was home in Ohio.
He was, of course, talking about what’s been capturing everyone’s imaginations recently: UFOs and the potential of aliens.
You see, next month (June 2021), US Intelligence agencies are going to issue a report to Congress on “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.” This is after the Navy released several official videos in the last year, capturing UFOs on their government equipment. These flying “Tic-Tac’s” could fly in gravity-defying directions, were splashing in and out of the water, leaving our high-ranked intelligence officials bewildered. And upon public release, the masses were off to the races with theories, explanations and supposed confirmation that aliens do, in fact, exist.
The videos, yeah…they’re fascinating. Captivating. A little scary. And sends the mind in all different directions trying to make heads or tails of what the eye is observing. Is it a micro-ship from the “Tall Greys?” Or a spy-craft sent by the Reptillians? Is it a glitch in governmental computer software? Or just some punk kid’s drone that got lost at sea?
Sure, it’s fun to go around and around with fantastical musings of intelligent life on other planets, but it always leads me…uncomfortably back to the question: Where does God fit into all this?
I don’t think I’m alone, as a Christian, wondering where God fits into the question of aliens or life on other planets. Because yeah, I’m a 21st century Christ follower: I believe in the Gospel and I believe in Science. I believe in the sovereignty of God, and His creation of the world. And I believe God gives us the gifts to discover vaccines and cures to diseases and modern medicine, but I don’t believe we have the authority to play God – through things like abortion, IVF, euthanasia, gender selection etc. – just because we’ve discovered the science to do so.
So what about aliens?
Because on the one hand, God is the creator of Heaven and Earth. And Heaven…is expansive….to the tune of trillions and quadrillions of galaxies…that we’ve discovered. So, talk to anyone and their brother, and they’ll spit ya the “probability” argument: With the sheer number of galaxies and planets out there – discovered and undiscovered – just simply based on probability…there is for sure extraterrestrial life out there.
Which, yeah…I can get behind that thinking. Sure.
But what about God?
And more accurately…what about Jesus?
Jesus was fully God AND fully HUMAN. He came down from Heaven, and out of love died to save mankind. If aliens were to exist, WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF SALVATION AND THE CROSS?
Just off the top of my head here…are aliens saved? Did Jesus ALSO come down to other planets and civilizations and take the form of a Tall Grey or Reptillian or what have you, and die on their version of a Roman Cross to save that alien lifeform? After all…if aliens exist, they would be creations of God, would they not?
There are just so many questions! So many unraveled ends!
Are they akin to angels and demons? Because those I do believe in those. Is an alien like…the secular word for one of those afterlife entities?
And why doesn’t the Bible talk about aliens? Sure it talks about the heavens, and the stars and and the underworld. I mean, the Wise Men found Jesus by tracking The Star of Bethlehem…they studied the sky. Surely, if God would have created other intelligent life, that would be in there too.
Or perhaps, are aliens a byproduct of God’s creation of Earth? He created the Heavens and Earth on Day 1 – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) And depending how long you believe “ONE DAY” is in the creation story (which allows for things like the dinosaurs, etc.), it wasn’t until Day 6 that God created mankind. So maybe, the aliens were just part and parcel to those celestial bodies that God created in the Heavens — kind of like animals: without souls, and detached from salvation.
And therefore, would they fall under the same “Ten Commandment” jurisdictions that we follow as Christ-lovers? Do they sin? Are they fallen? Or are they still in harmony with God, as He intended the world to be?
But mainly, if aliens exist, what does that mean for God’s love for us? Are we one of a myriad of different species of “children” that He has? And…not to sound like the youngest child or anything…but, does that mean we’re not special? (I’m being serious.)
Honestly, the more I think about it, the more questions it raises.
All I know is that, come June, when whatever “bombshell” the US Intelligence is going to drop regarding these “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” it has the grave potential to shake a lot of Christians’ faith. I fear it could unlock Pandoras Box, and leave many people questioning the validity of everything they’ve ever believed.
And I pray that not be the case.
So my question to you is….what do you think?
Do YOU believe in life on other planets? Do you think there is truly intelligent life out there? What do you make of these Navy videos? What do you think the big “declassification” is going to be in June?
I am teeming with interest…so please, let me know!

Boy, Caralyn. You know how to read labels, and surely knew that this was a major can of worms! 😄
We are such an impatient lot since the advent of the telegraph. Getting a letter from California to Kentucky would take about two weeks; New York, even longer. But our tech has made us frustrated when the electrons we send TO A SATELLITE AND BACK take more than 30 seconds! “Hon, the computer’s going slow again!”
There is a government report telling us what our intelligence (?) agencies know about UFOs or UAPs. (Note, they are not called the Intelligent Agencies. 😉) Why doesn’t everyone settle down and wait for said report?
That said, most sky watchers will be disappointed with a dry sterile report (“We saw something that moved in a funny fashion.”) that will only leave the questions unanswered (more government coverup to the conspiracists).
As one of your other commenters noted, atheists would love to find “life” on another planet, even primordial, because then they would claim it was more evidence that we are accidents of unguided processes . . . as if God could not create more than one life form?
Some time ago I said, “The universe is a very large lonely place if God is not there.” Fortunately, He IS. 😊

Caralyn, with God being infinite, how can we possibly think that we humans on earth are His only creations? God is our creator, Jesus is our Savior, and the Hoy Spirit is our Advocate. All one; all God. And why can’t this exist elsewhere? It doesn’t invalidate God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. It just adds to the wonder and glory of God. And we don’t need to fear. We need to embrace. This doesn’t need to be over-thought. Ted

All good theories and thoughts. I’ve always felt that if God made us, he could easily have made life on other planets and… if it was important for us to know about them, then he would have given us the information we needed to know about them. However, the Bible really doesn’t give us much more than what you’ve already presented. The one thing God gave us though is curiosity. Why are we so curious?
Also, if there is life elsewhere, why would they fall under the same guidelines as those of us here on this planet? They could be completely different from us. Their choices and errors, if they made any, would fall under a completely different auspices than ours, don’t you think? Maybe they never succumbed to the “great temptation” and were actually able to fulfill God’s original plan? What if? Then it raises another question, if they did or had fulfilled God’s plan, then why did he continue to bother with us at all?
The questions raise more questions and those speculative answers raise even more. Because we are a curious bunch, the questions can be unending, but what fun. Which reminds me, my sister invited us over and her husband is a huge UFO enthusiast, so ugh, we may have to sit and hear that? Oh dear! lol
In conclusion, if we are meant to know, it’s a lot like Bible prophecies which were revealed when God wanted them to be made known and when applicable. If we are meant to know these things, about other beings on other planets, then they will be revealed to us according to His timetable, His way. His reasons.

These things people think are aliens are actually demons. There are chilling testimonies of people getting saved after encountering demons masquerading as aliens. The Bible warns that satan and his demons masquerade. I have been tracking this whole thing about the government being set to reveal news that aliens exist, and it is all propaganda to control the masses. One big reason they are doing it now is to turn people further from God and His Word. There are many people in power who worship the evil one. They know about the Rapture and they will need an explanation when millions of Christians are suddenly taken to Heaven in a flash by the Lord. They will say that aliens took us, and people will believe it and be terrified. There was a whole mind control narrative about aliens being pushed during the recent New Year’s celebrations (look up the Seattle Space Needle one). It’s called predictive programming, also known as MK Ultra. They have been setting this alien narrative up for awhile now. They even tried to come out a few months ago and declare on the news that aliens exist, but everyone just ignored them & it flopped. It was too soon, so they had to do more mind control propaganda. We are in a spiritual war between Heaven and hell, and the alien lie is a weapon of the evil one. I pray the Lord exposes the lie and reveals the truth, and many come to Jesus before it’s too late. Great questions by the way. If aliens were real, then Jesus would be Lord and King over them too. However, aliens and all such sightings of “UFOs” are just evil tricks to keep people from God. Of course some of the UFOs are just the government flying around in aircraft we don’t know about yet too. Those bug eyed aliens are 100% demonic. Once we believers in Jesus get Raptured out of here, I pray those left behind will figure that out quick & turn to Jesus. What a time to be alive! God bless!

Wow! Awesome article. I had the same thoughts when I came to know about sightings in the India China border. I wondered if aliens do exist in other planets, then did Jesus go there to save them too. Because if they are fallen they need saving and if they are not fallen they shouldn’t be a threat. I don’t know if they exist but one thing I do believe is that if they do exist in some far of galaxy then I know who the creator is. It has to be God. God is the creator of the universe. Devil is also a creature remember. But after reading through your article I’m having this new thought , funny but not impossible that it could be man’s doing too like we know man is capable of creating beautiful machinery and maybe they don’t want to hide it anymore and are launching it with the name that they’ve already created a fear in people “aliens”. I know it sounds crazy. But one thing is true that we are all living in a society where our faith is being questioned and we are being thrown questions so that we may waver in faith and it’s good to remember the words God spoke through Isaiah 7:9 “If you do not stand firm in faith, you shall not stand at all”. Looks like we have to pray to be firm in our faith no matter the gazillion questions that are going to arise in the future. And the part about ivf, euthanasia, abortion and all we need to remember that not all inventions of man are good. Right. So we have to choose the good. Have a good day Caralyn.

Hi:-) You have liked my posts many times and I want to thank you for that. As for the topic, aliens, I am not going to pretend that I have all the answers and that my opinions are facts. However, it is my understanding that aliens are fallen angels that will be removed when the new heaven and earth arrives. It is also my belief that these aliens are deceitful and the top rulers in this world are too. In the end our Heavenly Father will rule, and everything will all be good again. Like in the garden.

Firstly I’m glad you are bringing up these topics because they are things that most people don’t think about. A big thank you for your thought provoking social commentary.
So, this is something that has been said by others but here is my position on the subject. The so called aliens will be merely demons in disguise. But just as you said this is a distraction from the key point of us as Christians. Bringing the truth of the gospel to people. If the so called aliens deny the scriptures then we will know that they belong to the demons. If they make no comment then we still need to be suspicious of them.

As a lot of other people said, this is a lot to unpack. I believe anything that is outside God’s realm or word is not biblical and is a device of the enemy. We have to test everything against God’s word. Our feelings and emotions are fleeting. God has given his word as a guideline for how to live. His word is non negotiable. I will be honest and say I have tuned out anytime someone mentions aliens. Now, I realize I need to be praying for God to intervene and be more powerful that any report or viral video which could lead people down a path destruction. I appreciate you risking it all for Jesus once again.

Great thoughts. Only thing I know is that the Bible, is Gods word. I see it saying that he created the heavens and 🌍. I see God saying he created man to populate the 🌍. I wrote a paper on this in college years ago. My conclusion was, are there such things as UFO’s, yes. Seems enough has been captured on it. Are they aliens, it depends on your definition. They are certainly foreign, but seems unlikely as to some type of advanced being. Certainly, the Bible doesn’t talk about that other than demons and angels. Not convinced they take this kind of form. In the end, God knows and I trust him to keep an eye on those that are under his care. Fear God, not anything else. God Bless.

Humans like to think they know about the world, but in actually fact they know very little, I think it something like 80% of the ocean has not been explored, becuase of water pressure but how do we know what is down there, we dont.

Aliens are mentioned several times in the Bible. It is as if Christianity either don’t recognise it, or, alternatively don’t read their own book. It is there, in the Hebrew, starting Gen 1 verse 26,27 and much beyond. But be careful: when not in Hebrew, other meanings have been inserted by translators. The KJV didn’t escape that.

Neither the Bible nor any other religious source mentions intelligent life on other planets. Statistical probability is not absolute. A probability of life elsewhere in the universe does not mean intelligent life. It is equally possible that there is NO other intelligent life in the Universe. At the very least possibly no other life created in the image of God. Sure God has created animals, plants, bacteria and fungi on other planets for God‟s own pleasure and to declare his glory. That doesn’t mean Intelligent life or beings in His own image. “God created man in his own image, means that that humans are in the image of God in their moral, spiritual, and intellectual nature. Sure there can be life on other planet but that doesn’t mean intelligent life with a soul. We are created in the image of God and there is only one – one God, the Father, of whom are all things, That means in all of creation there is only ONE God. 1 Corinthians 8:6 KJV: But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things,

In this day and age of sophisticated special effects, I have a hard time believing any of these videos are depicting anything real. IF there are aliens, it’s not a surprise to God, you are correct, He would have made them. And, God being GOD, He is sovereign and under no obligation to disclose to us mere mortals everything He has said and done. Even the gospel does not record EVERYTHING Jesus said and did. One thing is for sure, our faith cannot be so flimsy as to be shaken by such a report. I think the people who fall for this could very well be those who do not attend church often, do not pray much or do not read/study their bible deeply.
In order to withstand such storms, we must stand on the firm foundation of the knowledge of God and His character.
I have seen people lose their faith over incredibly minor incidents. We’re going to lose some when this announcement comes out. But… did we really ‘have them’ in the first place?
The timing on this is curious. People have not been in churches much over the last year or so. How have they fared in their faith through everything that has been going on? Many are already, ‘softened’ up so-to-speak. Is this just going to topple them over? Finish them off?
I’m sorry to say that this pope is well… I can’t say but you know-what-I-mean. At the end of the day, do we really know for whom he works?
It is nearly impossible to verify everything science tells is true as actually being true. I just read an article the other day that said the whole ‘thing’ about MSG being bad for us was a hoax in a medical journal.
Now who do we believe about THAT? We must stop believing everything someone in a white coat, or impressive hat (name that movie) tells us and develop our critical thinking muscles.
All that matters is that; God created everything, Jesus died to save us, and what are we doing with our faith?

I’ve said for many years now that if we do find life elsewhere, might that be taken as proof that God does exist? I mean, if spontaneous creation of life is, in fact, really hard, doesn’t the existence of life on other planets prove that there is an intelligence putting a thumb on the scale? And would that be all that difficult to believe? Christian theology states that God is love. If God is a loving God, wouldn’t he wish to propagate and share that love wherever He could? If sentient aliens do exist, I hope that God created them and that they know His love, because if He didn’t, there’s a pretty good chance that they’ll see us as a threat, squash us like bugs and steal all of our resources.

Hi Caralyn,
In relation to UFO’s, you will find the answers (to the questions that you have posed) in the Bible. But, you must read the Bible yourself to find them. If anyone tells you that you cannot read the Bible and interpret it, remember that God made sure that the Bible was written and published so it could be read and understood by all. You are a very intelligent person and you have the capability to read these Holy words and understand them.
We know that God created all living beings from angels to man to animals and every other living creature on earth and in the entire universe.
Throughout the Bible both angels and demons are mentioned. God loving and honorable angels work for God and do His will. But, Satan, in his arrogance, became rebellious and put himself above God. Rebellious angels, who did not love and respect God, followed Satan, and are the demons mentionted in the Bible.
We saw how Satan tempted Eve in the Garden, in the book of Genesis, and, also, how he tempted Jesus during His time in the wilderness, in Matthew Chapter 4 and elsewhere. Jesus cast out demons from people who were suffering from their torment. By reading Matthew, Mark, Luke and John we see how Jesus interacted with, and dealt with, the demons.
With this knowledge it is easy to realize that the demons are going to play a significant role in working to deceive mankind along with Satan. It will be easy for the demons to trick man into thinking that the beings of UFO’s (in reality demons) are “extraterrestrials”, which they actually are since, in their disobedience of God, they left their Heavenly abode and came to Earth. These disobedient angels will present themselves as coming to enhance and enlighten mankind with their advanced knowledge and practices, even to the point of appearing to be the devoted and obedient angels who work for God. Jesus warned that there would be a deception (prior to His Return) that would be so great that even the “very elect” could be deceived, IF it were possible to deceive them (Matthew 24:24).

We have certain rules in spaces. These are agreed upon by other countries also. It doesn’t mean there’s not aliens but aerial objects with…capabilities. Exist. It’s not uncommon for something to appear to dance across the sky if its travelling at Mach 4. It’s going a half mile a second. Your head wouldn’t move fast enough to follow it in the sky. Our eyes to the horizon is kind of a short distance.
Other countries, play with designs and hit just below that Mach 4. As far as lights, well there are rules for that but under 10,000 feet you have to stay below 230mph. Not to get too math-y If it looks like its above your hand from the horizon its definitely above 10,000 feet. If its close to the size of your thumb its 3-5 miles.

I mean, we’ve only been flying for a century? Birds have been doing it for much longer. It’s what God wanted we also have 65% of our DNA similar to birds but we have no wings or feathers.
I’m okay with it. 😂
Talking about something like intelligent life within our galaxy would mean they spent several hundred generations to get to Earth. Humanity can’t even agree on a single social media platform. I don’t know. 😂 If they were like us they would have the same limitations of life expectancy and oxygen. They may also, in theory predate Jesus and biblical texts. As the nearest habitable planet would be 15,000 years away. Which would mean when they arrived here…they would be 30,000 years ahead of us?

You have enough here for a few seasons of a serialized faith based drama. Your turn to write for television.

Good article! No need to fear. The answer is all in Larry Norman’s song, U.F.O. from 1976! “And if there’s life on other planets, then I’m sure that he must know. And he’s been there once already and has died to save their souls.” https://youtu.be/gjd265vNIlQ

The Bible is rather clear on this matter, God (plural) created the heavens (whole universe) and the earth, then man in His own image. (Readers digest version of Genesis 1-2) Nowhere does the Bible mention other creation, is it possible that God his other creation from us maybe, is it probable not in the context of all that is disclosed in the Bible.
There is a line from the movie “Contact” that seems appropriate to my limited human mind: “It seems an awful waste of space if there is not.” As much as first contact seems exciting and all, the Bible makes it clear God created Humans alone.

“ And I pray that not be the case” Why would you prefer your faith take precedent over new evidence?
If Jesus really is the creator and god, I’m sure these aliens will have heard of him, right? Wouldn’t that be the evidence you always wanted—proof that he visited his other sheep? I think this is a wonderful opportunity to move humanity beyond belief mode which has the world divided—no matter what belief it is.
Why do these sightings have to be aliens? I think whoever they are they are from here. Where did all the technology and people from the past, great civilizations go? I think some of them are still here living in the oceans possibly.
