Audio on the subject of UFOs and abductions
This text will be replaced by the flash audio player. Telegraph UK (June 20, 2008) - A police helicopter crew gave chase to a UFO after it almost collided with their aircraft near a military base. The pilot was forced to bank sharply to avoid being hit by the mystery aircraft as the helicopter was returning to the Ministry of Defence base of St Athan, near Cardiff. The three crew, who described the UFO as 'flying saucer-shaped', then gave chase, getting as far as the North Devon coast before they ran low on fuel, it was reported. The police aircraft was hovering at 500ft and waiting clearance to land on June 7, when those onboard spotted the other craft hurtling towards them from below. A spokesman for South Wales Police said: "We can confirm the Air Support Unit sighted an unusual aircraft. This was reported to the relevant authorities for their investigation." It was reported that the aircraft closed in at great speed, aiming straight for the helicopter which swerved sharply. "They are convinced it was a UFO. It sounds far-fetched, but they know what they saw." The helicopter crew are said to have crossed the Bristol channel in pursuit of the UFO, but lost sight of it and had to turn back due to a fuel shortage. The sighting comes weeks after the most comprehensive Government files on UFO activity are opened to the public for the first time today and they disclose that even air traffic controllers and police officers have seen mysterious craft in the skies over Britain. The sightings range from incredible tales of little green men visiting the Wirral to corroborated accounts from policemen and pilots of Unidentified Flying Objects hovering above towns and cities. All were recorded on official forms, held by air bases and police stations, and compiled by the Ministry of Defence between 1978 and 2002. | UFO | Leading UFO Researchers Confirm Christian View Article Directory (June 19, 2008) - A general consensus has emerged among serious, science oriented UFO researchers that a certain small percentage of UFOs are real and are not figments of anyone's imagination. Furthermore, it is well known that many individuals claim to receive messages from alleged extra-terrestials aboard UFOs. The messages received from UFOs are generally occultic and steer people away from belief in Christian doctrine. Extra-terrestials tend to undermine or attack the Christian faith. Christian scholars and researchers have responded to this attack. In this article I will show that leading UFO researchers, many of whom are agnostic, have come around to generally support the Christian position on UFO phenomena. After all the UFO sightings have been carefully analyzed and most explained away as natural phenomena the remaining UFOs, called residual UFOs (RUFOs) are regarded as real. They are real yet the leading researchers say they are not metallic spacecraft from distant stars or planets. Astronomers who have devoted their careers to studying UFOs point to the fact that UFO flight patterns defy the laws of physics such as turning and accelerating so fast that any metal spaceship would disintegrate even if the metal spaceship was a solid iron ball. Furthermore, UFOs are seen in the atmosphere and not observed coming in from outer space. UFO sightings have been reported throughout history. Ancient literature describes 'aerial people' and 'cloud ships' in terms that correspond to modern UFO sightings. In 1691 a Scottish minister wrote a book describing how Scottish farmers were harassed by paranormal entities similar to the UFOs of our time. All of us are aware of the many UFO cults that have sprung up. There have even been television specials devoted to UFO phenomena. Francis Crick, Nobel prize winning co-discoverer of DNA, calculated the probability of proteins forming by random collisions of atoms in the primordial ooze. Crick found it so remotely improbable that proteins and other building blocks of life could form by chance on earth that he decided that aliens from outer space must have brought life to earth. Crick's theory that claims that aliens brought life to earth is called the "Guided Panspermia Theory" of life origins. This new theory of life origins gave momentum to UFO research. Close encounters of the fourth kind are when people (almost invariably occultists and New Agers) are actually abducted and communicate with the aliens. The aliens generally give messages with deep religious impact that steer people away from Christianity. Let's consider the following quote: "For example, 'The Urantia Book,' a tome supposedly communicated to humans by spirit dictation from 'superuniverse rulers,' spends the first two-thirds of its 2,097 pages describing a 'universe of universes' that is not subject to space and time" The quote continues: "The last third of this UFO bible denies the full deity of Jesus Christ and humanity's need for salvation from its sinful condition." (Quoted from Lights in the Sky and Little Green Men: A Rational Christian Look at UFOs and Extraterrestials by Ross, Samples and Clark p. 122.) It seems plain from the above quote and from abundant other evidence that the aliens oppose Christian doctrine. This leads me to believe that the aliens are actually demons. It is also very interesting and revealing to note that many of the best UFO researchers seem to be coming around to a view that undergirds and supports the Christian view that demons are involved. Astronomer J. Alan Hynek and the late French physicist Jacques Vallee are perhaps the most respected UFO researchers in the world. Both are agnostics. No one can consider them Christians with a theological ax to grind. Both men have made what I consider to be very bold statements that clearly undergird the Christian position that spiritual entities are behind UFO phenomena. For example, Hynek said that UFOs cause physical effects "in the same way that a poltergeist can produce very real physical effects." Vallee said "The UFO phenomenon represents evidence for other dimensions beyond spacetime . . . It is a spiritual system that acts on humans and uses humans." There are many other quotes I could cite. Vallee was the leading proponent of the Interdimensional Hypothesis which is the view that UFOs come from another dimension (Christians like me would say the other dimension is the dimension of spirit) and not from interstellar travel. Many prominent born-again Christian scholars such as David Allen Lewis have done research on UFO phenomena. It seems clear to them that demons are using UFOs to deceive millions and prepare them to embrace an occultic, 'New Age' type of faith. Some say that UFOs and the teachings that proceed from them are preparing the world to receive the coming antichrist. I will close this article by mentioning the fact that there have been documented cases of close encounters of the fourth kind, which are abductions of people by UFOs, that have actually been stopped when the people involved called out the name of Jesus. In other words the people appealed to the atoning work of Christ who died for our sins. When they cried out to Jesus the demons attempting the abduction ceased their activity. The demons fear the power of Christ and must submit to the power of Christ because Christ is the Son of God. See the April 2001 issue of Charisma magazine for documentation of UFO abductions that were stopped in this way.

Vatican: It's OK to believe in aliens
Breitbart.com
(May 13, 2008) - The Vatican's chief
astronomer says that believing in aliens does not contradict faith in
God. The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican
Observatory, says that the vastness of the universe means it is possible
there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
In an interview published Tuesday by Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore
Romano, Funes says that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith"
because aliens would still be God's creatures. The interview was
headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother." Funes said that ruling
out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's
creative freedom.
Britain Opens Up Secret UFO Files
Fox News
(May 13, 2008) - The men were air traffic
controllers. Experienced, calm professionals. Nobody was drinking. What
they saw has never been explained. And they were so worried about losing
their jobs that they demanded their names be kept off the official
reports. No one, they knew, would believe their claim that an
unidentified flying object landed at the airfield they were overseeing
in the east of England, touched down briefly, then took off again at
tremendous speed. But that's what they reported happening at four in the
afternoon on April 19, 1984, at an unspecified small airport near the
eastern coast of England. Their "Report of Unusual Aerial Phenomenon" is
one of more than 1,000 pages of formerly secret UFO documents released
Wednesday by Britain's National Archives. The air traffic controllers,
each with more than eight years on the job, describe how they were
helping guide a small plane to a safe landing on runway 22 when they
were distracted by a brightly lit object approaching a different runway
without clearance. "Everyone became aware that the object was
unidentified," the report on the incident said. "SATCO [codename for a
controller with 14 years' experience] reports that the object came in
'at speed,' made a touch and go on runway 27, then departed at 'terrific
speed' in a 'near vertical' climb." The incident is one of the more
credible in the newly public files because it was reported by air
traffic controllers, said David Clarke, a UFO expert who has worked with
the National Archives on the document release. "They were absolutely
astonished," he said. "It was a bright, circular object, flashing
different colors, and after it touched down it disappeared at fantastic
speed. The report comes from very qualified people, and it's one of the
few that remained unexplained." He said other incidents were at times
reported by aircraft crews whose members also asked to remain anonymous
because they did not want to jeopardize their careers by seeming to
believe in UFOs. Although there are some unexplained cases, there is no
reported instance in which Britain's Ministry of Defense found any
evidence of alien activity or alien spacecraft, said Clarke, who
nonetheless expects conspiracy theories about a UFO coverup by the
British defense establishment to persist. "The Ministry of Defense
doesn't have any evidence that our defenses were breached by alien
craft," he said. "They never found one, no bits of one, that's all we
can say." Clarke said the documents released Wednesday, dealing with the
late 1970s and early 1980s, are the first batch of a series that will be
made public in the next few years. The National Archives is releasing
the files now because of numerous Freedom of Information requests
seeking information about the government's UFO reports. more...
Oooh arrrr not alone anymore The
Sun (January 1, 2008) - This
stunning photo of a UFO over Cornwall was last night hailed by experts
as one of the best ever taken in Britain. The classic flying saucer
shape is seen above two ships. And UFO watchers believe it could be
proof we are NOT alone. Kelvin Barbery snapped the mystery object
from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth. In
a weird twist, Kelvin, 55, did not even see the UFO at the time. He
thought he was just taking a sea view — but when he loaded the digital
camera card on to his computer, the round metallic “craft” was in the
centre of the shot, about two miles away. Kelvin, a facilities manager
for schools, said: “There were a couple of tankers out in the bay and I
thought that it made a nice shot. “There was nothing in view and
certainly no fault on the camera. “When I got home I couldn’t believe
what I had. I thought, ‘Wow, where did that come from?’ I’m not the sort
to believe in UFOs — now I’m not so sure.” Nick Pope, one of Britain’s
foremost UFO experts, said the photo was one of the best he had seen.
Nick, formerly the official Ministry of Defence UFO analyst, said: “If I
was still there I’d be looking at this very closely. The object looks
structured, symmetrical and metallic. This man has caught something very
interesting indeed.” Michael Soper, of the Contact International UFO
group, agreed: “This does appear genuine. Digital photos can be doctored
but everything about it appears consistent.” KELVIN took his
picture at 3.31pm on December 29, with a Nikon D80 Digital SLR on
automatic. See picture at link |
