Is There a Spiritual Explanation of UFOs?

for American Thinker

by Robert Arvay

 

All my life I thought that UFOs were (possibly) spacecraft from planets elsewhere in our galaxy.  It seems, however, that my ideas on what they are, and/or from where they arrive here, were too modest. If UFOs are real, they are much more than mere flying saucers.  The most recent theory is that they are from beyond space and time.  When I first heard mention of the theory that they come from another dimension, another universe, I thought the idea preposterous.  Now, reason intrudes.  Perhaps the trans-dimensional theory has merit after all. Let me explain.

 

The title of my blog, a series of articles, commentaries and news clippings, is THE UFO PARADOX.  The paradoxes are several, among which is primarily that UFOs act as if they wish not to be seen, a capability which (it seems) they must surely possess, but then on the other hand, they do get seen, sometimes as if they make no effort to conceal their presence.  Which is it?  If they care not whether we see them, then we should see them frequently, and under conditions of clarity, not grainy photographs.  If they wish not to be seen, their advanced technology should prevent us from ever seeing any of them. That is the paradox.

 

For many years, the UFO space-ship theory was modeled after science fiction movies, which in turn, portrayed futuristic space travel as requiring a pilot at the controls who was agile enough to avoid hitting asteroids.  That model was somewhat confirmed in 1969 with the lunar landing module, which would have crashed disastrously, had not the pilot seen and avoided hitting, at the last moment, a rocky hazard on the moon’s surface.  Think Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon.

 

But now we have auto-pilots and the latest computers.  Artificial intelligence is an emerging technology with great promise for space travel.  Instead of colonizing Mars with people, we can send advance parties of robots to build pre-positioned shelters.  Why then, should we imagine that space aliens, if they exist, would be any less advanced than the levels which we reasonably expect to achieve in the lifetimes of our grandchildren?

 

That brings us to the trans-dimensional theory.  If the supposed space aliens can travel from other solar systems within our galaxy, then why not from other galaxies?  If other universes, or other dimensions of reality exist, then why not travel from those? Quantum physics suggests the possibility.

 

Finally, we get to the wildest theory of all, one which until recently I dismissed out of hand, but now, reason and spirit might combine to produce a Biblical theory.  It has been suggested that (at least some of) the space aliens are angels, some of them heavenly, and others demonic.

 

After all, if scientists are speaking of other dimensions of reality, then surely, we must consider the spiritual realms.  I’m not a theologian, nor a scholar, but I have read the Old and New Testaments, and have studied the prophecies, especially those of the End Times. From Genesis onward, there are passages which speak of spiritual intrusions, both good and evil, into our world.

 

Is the way being prepared for the Messiah of Judaism, or the return of Him as Jesus?  Is the Twelfth Imam going to bring about worldwide chaos in an attempt to conquer the planet?  If enough people begin to believe those things and to act upon them, we will enter a new era of history.  If those beliefs are correct, history will come to its conclusion. 

 

Yes, we have strayed far from the paradigm of Buck Rogers, but then, so has reality.

Theory: the Real and Sad Reason why Government Conceals UFO Information

 I recently saw online, an interesting theory about why the government resists full disclosure about UFOs.  It has nothing to do with concerns about causing public panic or giving classified information to potential or actual enemies. 

The reason is disappointingly mundane.  It is to avoid legal jeopardy for those who have illegally withheld that information for many years, and/or to avoid lawsuits.  The lawsuits might arise because some aerospace firms were given items of alien technology that had been recovered from UFO crash sites.  Companies that did not get the UFO items were therefore illegally discriminated against and might sue for damages.

In other words, government corruption is so widespread that it even undermines UFO-related research.  The corrupt officials, rather than release the most spectacular news information in history, will instead choose to conceal their own corrupt activities.

The theory is plausible, but so far as I know, just a theory.

Are These Photos of UFOs That Were Missed at the Time?

 

-

Copied and Pasted from the Space dot Com Website.

"In the 1950s, mysterious flashes of light were captured on photographic plates taken at the Palomar Observatory in California. Two new studies claim that these flashes were caused by reflective objects in high-Earth orbit connected to sightings of alleged unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP),"

More Evidence that UFOs are Real, but Undefinable

 3I/Atlas (pronounced to sound like, three eye Atlas) is reportedly a comet-like object that has recently entered our solar system, possibly from another one.  It represents the third recorded detection ever of an intruding interstellar object.  The first was Oumuamua in October of 2017. The second is 2I/Borisov (two eye Borisov) seen first in August 2019, and which is still inside our solar system.  Peculiarly, both most recent objects will reach their closest approaches to the sun in November 2025, an extremely unlikely coincidence.

Questions abound, and exotic theories are flourishing.  The most interesting, but least likely, theory is that either or both of them are spacecraft from elsewhere in the galaxy.  The exotic theory is supported by the physics of 3I/Atlas, which has astonished scientists.  Variously observed characteristics are being reported, including atypical outgassing and the chemical contents thereof.  It is possible that such bizarre chemistry could be common in, from wherever 3I/Atlas originated, or that billions of years in transit between stars could result in such properties.

 

It is remotely possible that 3I/Atlas was manufactured by aliens, but for what purpose, one can only speculate.

 

Unfortunately, remote possibilities are what unscientific popularizers thrive upon.  Some online videos purport to show Dr. Michio Kaku offering a mix of science and speculation on the topic.  They seem pretty clearly to be produced by, or with, artificial intelligence.  Bing’s A.I. chatbot, Copilot, responds to that suspicion with several strong reasons in support of it.  Ironically, A.I. can be used to detect A.I. fakes.

 

Having discussed the dismal realities, let us ask imaginatively, what would we see, if some galactic civilization were to send a mission to arrive in our solar system?  Would we see something as gigantic as the city-sized 3I/Atlas?

 

Anything is possible within the limits of physics, but we have a tendency to think that alien technology would have to be like ours, only with whiz-bang spectacular gadgets attached.  Think Star Wars, or Buck Rogers. Similarity, or even comparability, however, is not necessarily going to be the case at all.

 

That is because science itself gives us hints that there are important properties of space-time and energy-mass which are beyond our present-day knowledge.  Dark matter and dark energy are only two examples.  Whatever they are, these two have been used to explain otherwise unexplainable observations that seem impossible, such as the peculiar motions of stars and galaxies.

 

One would think that any aliens will have discovered fundamentals of physics of which we know nothing, and that they can use them to travel faster than light, which we presently deem to be forever impossible, not because of engineering, but because within nature itself there may be absolute barriers.  If so, then the aliens have to travel the old-fashioned way, one mile of track at a time.  But if nature imposes no barrier against it, if faster than light travel is possible, then 3I/Atlas would be the most primitive space ship in the galaxy, produced by a long-since vanished civilization.

 

For no particular reason, I suspect that the aliens, if any exist, have technologies with which they can leap across light years with relative ease.  If they can do that, then they can appear to us to be magical.  They don’t need us; they have no fear of us.

 

Therefore, they will not arrive in a 3I/Atlas, no more so than in a Greyhound bus.  We won’t see them coming, nor know when they arrive.

 

That presents a paradox, however, because UFO sightings by unimpeachable observers are a fact; they are seeing something real.  So far, what they see seems undefinable.  The publicly available information about UFOs, when taken as a whole, makes no sense.

 

And so far, there are features of 3I/Atlas that do not yet make sense, either.

Video: UFO Hit By Missile, Keeps Going

 https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=ufo+hit+by+missile&&mid=246CDE8FD76A1C165125246CDE8FD76A1C165125&&FORM=VRDGAR

What I find interesting in this video is that, when the missile impacts the UFO, broken fragments seem to result.  The fragments do not disperse. They continue onward with the UFO,  

I have not seen that anyone else has mentioned this.

The UFO was in a combat zone near Yemen, and when it did not respond to IFF Identification signals, it was considered to be possibly hostile to Allied forces.  Even after being hit, it seemed to make no deliberate reactive moves.  It apparently had not even attempted to evade the missile.  As to what this object is, one can only speculate for now.

It reminds one of the Baghdad UFO which also was in a zone associated with war fighting.

Mysterious Interstellar Object as of October 20, 2025

According to Yahoo News:

For now, [Avi] Loeb ranks 3I/ATLAS as a four out of ten on his “Loeb scale” — which he invented to gauge the likeliness of an interstellar object being extraterrestrial technology — in a figure that he says means that it has “increasingly anomalous characteristics.”

Michio Kaku has some interesting things to say in a video at

Other UFO news items that may not be UFOs include the Buga Sphere

Which appears similar to the Baghdad UFO

It’s not the UFOs, It’s the Coverup

for American Thinker

by Robert Arvay

The longstanding governmental coverup of UFO sightings is not only continuing, but “whistleblowers” who were told by Congress that they are protected by federal laws, are losing their jobs for reporting, in good faith, what they see.

The most recent Congressional hearing on UFOs was as disappointing as the first, but it did reveal one fact that is perhaps even more disturbing than the possibility, that unknown objects are invading our skies.  It is the extreme measures which unaccountable government agencies are taking, to intimidate, threaten, and silence witnesses of UFOs.

The conspiracy is even deeper than that.  Documents subject to FOIA requests have been destroyed.  In other cases, the subject matters of those requests have been deviously moved outside of government custody, to private industries, mostly aerospace companies, beyond the reach of FOIA.  FOIA does not grant a public right of access to proprietary Lockheed (for example) files.  It is perfectly legitimate for Northrup Grumman to secret its files, but not for the government to move them there, for the purpose of evasion, or for the purpose of violating the right of the public to know—and especially, for the purpose of frustrating government oversight that is mandated by law.

If there are irrefutable physical specimens of technology that cannot have been made on this planet, they also, may have been transferred to private companies to avoid FOIA access.

Apart from that, a shocking but understated revelation during the hearings was about an instance in which an elected representative put forth an amendment to a proposed law, and was overruled by some unknown, but unelected, staff person, who pulled the amendment from consideration before it could be seen by Congress.  The bill went forward without the amendment. This audacious act is a stunning example of brazen criminality, usurping the powers of the legislative branch by someone unaccountable to the voters.

Why is there not an investigation by DoJ?

Perhaps the star of the show during the hearings was not a person, but a short video clip that is perhaps the most dramatic one seen so far by the public.  It depicts an object in flight resembling a tic-tac, which is then struck by a hellfire missile, because the object was, according to a report, in a combat zone and did not respond to IFF identification signals—thus posing a potential threat to friendlies.  Amazingly, the missile appears to bounce off the target, which apparently proceeds along its path with little or no disturbance.  Also, there appear to be fragments from the collision, but strangely, the fragments do not fly apart, but follow the UFO.  It is not clear whether the fragments are from the missile, or from the UFO—or whether the missile was destroyed or fragmented.  A professional analysis of the video is needed, but so far, I have not seen one presented.

 (Per Microsoft Copilot)  “The footage, reportedly taken on October 30, 2024, shows a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at a mysterious orb-like object—classified as a UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon)—off the coast of Yemen”

Government secrecy is proper and necessary when used legitimately, for example to keep an enemy from knowing our methods and capabilities.  When used improperly, it poses a threat to the same national security which it is supposed to protect.  It undermines trust in, and respect for, government agencies entrusted with the dangerous power of censorship.  For example, there are many unanswered questions about lethal actions taken against prominent conservatives (such as Trump and Kirk).  When the public’s questions are not answered, suspicions of a sinister coverup become widespread.

It is often said that it is better for an actual flaw to be revealed, than for even worse flaws to be suspected.  This is especially true when the public is asked to make sacrifices in support of a government policy.  If the government is not trusted, citizens will tend to refuse to obey orders from that government.

Putting aside for the moment, government secrecy, we must ask about the UFO phenomena themselves.  What are they?  Clearly, they are real; even the government now admits that much, but so what?  What is it that is real about UFOs?  Are they weather phenomena, drones, or spacecraft from another planet?  Something else?

We do not know what the UFOs are, but we do know that the government is hiding things that we have every right to know about.  When any government agency, created by Congress, deems itself above the law, then that is more of an immediate threat to us than are the supposed aliens in our skies.
