Secret of space visitors exists in spiritual realm?*

What is the true story behind unidentified flying objects seen in the
night sky over every corner of the planet for generations?
Are they, as leading UFO expert Stanton Friedman insists, strange
visitors from another planet, or planets, so advanced in technology they
are equipped to zoom in and out of Earth’s atmosphere at will?
Does the secret actually lie within the spiritual realm, as some
fundamentalist Christians maintain?
Many a Web site Author [including Pastor Morgan of the All The Good News
Of Bible Prophecy] advocates the position that UFOs and Alien Beings are
nothing more than the Physical manifestations of demon spirits and
devils, part of Satan’s army, released in the “last days” to delude
earthlings and provide a convenient explanation for the antichrist to
explain the Rapture of the saints just before the seven-year Tribulation
unfolds.
In a recent telecast, noted biblical author Jack Van Impe also touted
this idea, but his staff didn’t get a chance to respond to a request by
The Register-Herald for a detailed account.
Nor was there any immediate answer to a similar inquiry posted at the
headquarters of Hal Lindsey, author of “The Late Great Planet Earth,” a
best-seller on biblical prophecy in the early 1970s.
Friedman, a nuclear physicist, is a leading lecturer lined up for a
two-day UFO summit this weekend in Charleston.
The Friday-Saturday event comes almost 55 years to the day of the
invasion by the so-called “Flatwoods Monster” in Braxton County, one
that inspired two books by Frank Feschino, another key speaker at the
Charleston gathering.
Feschino will be autographing his latest effort, “Shoot Them Down,”
chronicling what he says was an aerial battle along the Atlantic Coast
between aliens and Air Force jetfighters.
Friedman says one of the bigger objections to getting the truth spread
about UFOs in modern times has come from the fundamentalist camp.
“What an insult to God if this is the best He could do,” Friedman
countered in a Register-Herald interview.
A new film titled “Unidentified,” produced by a Christian filmmaking
outfit, explores the demonic manifestations theory in fiction.
As two magazine writers dig into a sighting in a small Texas town, a
veteran government worker whose former agency was involved in the UFO
controversy for years before his conversion, tells them, “I think the
world is going to end soon and we’re living in the last days. As
Christians, we believe that the Rapture is the next big event on God’s
calendar. The devil knows this and he’s going to do everything he can to
explain the event away. Now, that’s where the UFO phenomenon really
comes into play.”
A spokesman for John Hagee Ministries in San Antonio said he has heard
the famed preacher’s sermons more than a decade but cannot remember any
of them addressing UFOs.
“So I imagine that either he feels there is not much credence to the
existence of UFOs, or that their existence is unverifiable,
inconsequential in comparison to other, more pertinent issues, or a case
of mistaken identify,” Edward Martinez said.
There is no mention of UFOs in the Bible as modern man understands the
term, he said.
