“There have been too many from reliable and multiple witnesses, too many radar and visual correlations by pilots, too many films and photographs, too many blacked out military and government documents. Journalist Mark Pilkington adds to this discussion: “Millions of people have been affected at least temporarily by UFO contact, thousands have gone insane and ended up in mental institutions after their experiences with these things began.” (Bates, 295) It is fair to assume that most people have read or seen some form of science fiction at some point in their lives…But the fantasy-driven explanation cannot account for every individual’s experience.” “Demographically, people are being abducted across the social, political, economic, ethnic, intellectual, and geographic spectra. Is every person in Africa, the Middle East, rural India or China a sci-fi buff? That is very doubtful. The problem with this argument is that the UFO phenomenon, including abductions, is occurring all over the world, including Third World countries. The typical explanation for UFOs and abductions that skeptics use is that UFOs are based on science fiction – everyone is getting these ideas from movies, television, etc. To not have closure about why such things are happening to them must be emotionally devastating.” However, I have genuine respect for those involved in genuine UFO research, and enormous compassion for those who have been subject to seemingly inexplicable sightings and from the terrifying ordeals of abduction experiences, often with very disturbing consequences. Sadly, much of this is being exploited by those bringing their various agendas to the evidence. There is no question that something mysterious, quite real, and very serious is going on. But despite the myriad of explanations, too many ordinary people with far more to lose than to gain by telling fanciful stories go to their graves never resiling from their accounts of the events. Similarly, in the realm of abductions, a great percentage may be psychological delusions, hoaxes, and shallow attempts to gain attention and fame. “It is true that the majority of sightings are the result of mistaken identity, and some have proven to be conscious lies or imaginary events. Humanity wants to see something beyond our world. This tells us that people throughout the world are eager to witness something. When it comes down to it, only about 2-5% of all UFO sightings are truly unidentified objects in the sky. It is obvious that a majority of UFO sightings are simply mistaken identity. The most common object mistaken for an UFO is Venus. Lenticular clouds (lens-shaped clouds that actually look like flying saucers).These clouds are ice-crystals in high altitude and glow at night from reflected sunlight. Lightening (especially ball lightening which is very rare).Reflections of the sun on different objects. Satellites in orbit or burning up on re-entry.More than a quarter of all UFO sightings are actually the planet Venus! Other mistaken objects include: An eye-opening fact concerning UFO sightings is that the planet Venus is the most commonly mistaken object for a UFO (27 percent of all sightings)! That is astounding to me personally. This is simply that there is no direct, physical evidence for UFOs. I want to begin with a problem not previously discussed in this series. Most people think that this is a silly conclusion but I believe that the evidence is there, and it may change your worldview. In this article, I will discuss who I believe the aliens really are – demons. In the first two parts of this series I discussed the theological and scientific problems of UFOs and aliens.
