Bible Question: Over ten years ago I saw a UFO. The whole event lasted maybe 5 minutes. I wasn't the only one who saw it. A major in the airforce saw it and it was written up in the paper. I've worked for the military for close to 20 years and I am very familiar with many of our defence systems as well as our capability in terms of aircraft. I feel very sure that what I saw wasn't part of mankind as we know it. How do I take this event and fit it into my belief of God and Christ? It's always bothered me. |
Bible Answer: Chynna The Bible does not address life on other planets. So to give a definite answer would be wrong. I see UFO's as one of three possibilities. First they could be optical phenomena that occur in nature. Second they could be highly secret military experiments . Thirdly they could be spiritual illusions from Satan to cause fear, doubt, disunity, distrust and make us question the Bible. Notice I did not include outer space aliens as a possibility. The reason, I would think if they could and do visit, they would be tempted to be involved in life on earth. However since the Bible does not address life on other planets and since the bible does say at in the end times there will heavenly happenings (Luke 21:11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. ) I suspect UFO’s are illusions created by Satan.
