"“These UFO manifestations are too well-attested for all of them to be dismissed as hoaxes,” he said in his broadcast Blog & Mablog. “Large numbers of people have seen things that cannot be accounted for. They've genuinely appeared to many, and they remain legit unidentified. So what are we to make of them?”"
"“I believe that we are dealing with, for the most part, with spiritual apparitions designed to mislead and deceive. These UFOs are creatures of the atmosphere, correct. Well, the Scripture teaches that the devil is the prince of the power of the air,” he continued. “In addition to that, he is the spirit that works in the children of disobedience... If we are looking at tricks in the sky, then one of our first reflexes should be to think of the trickster.”"
"He claimed that these “creatures” are shapeshifters and denied the possibility that the UFOs are aliens from another far-off world, because there's no indication (to him) that they have any relation to Biblical cosmology."
UFO sightings are described as well-attested events that cannot be dismissed as hoaxes. The explanation offered is that the sightings are spiritual apparitions meant to mislead and deceive. The claim is that the objects are creatures of the atmosphere, connected to the idea of the devil as the “prince of the power of the air.” The reasoning includes that the devil works through disobedience and that sky “tricks” should prompt thinking about a “trickster.” The possibility of extraterrestrial aliens is rejected due to a lack of perceived connection to Biblical cosmology. The same pastor is also associated with views opposing women voting, criminalizing consensual gay adult encounters, restricting public displays of non-evangelical Christian religions, and defending slavery.
