Corso claims he was not at Roswell in 1947, but did see
the body of one of the aliens as it was shipped through Fort Riley,
Kansas, where then Major Corso was the post duty officer on July 6, 1947.
Five lowboys, supposedly carrying landing-gear-assembly struts for P51s,
stopped overnight from Fort Bliss, Texas, in route to Air Material Command
at Wright Field in Ohio. Some of the crates, however, strangely wound up
in the Veterinarians building. As he was making his rounds past the
Veterinarians building, the sentry pulled Corso into the building and showed
him some thirty crates the truck drivers had said had come from an
accident in New Mexico. Opening one that had obviously been opened before,
Corso went into shock:
The contents, enclosed in a thick glass container,
were submerged in a thick light blue liquid.... It was a four-foot
human-shaped figure with arms, bizarre-looking six-fingered hands –
I didn't see a thumb – thin legs and feet, and an oversized
incandescent lightbulb-shaped head that looked like it was floating over
a balloon-shaped gondola for a chin....
Needless to say, Corso's book has
resulted in extreme controversy. Some people have labeled it as a fraud –
primarily
because this near ninety-year old author didn't get all the dates of the events
right which had occurred fifty years before, and were peripheral to the
main topic of alien technology. To the accusation of fraud, Corso's
supporters ask why? Why would a distinguished officer desire to discredit
his family's name in the last years of his life? He died the year after
the book was published. There is simply no motive to commit such an
outrageous fraud.
Although Corso said he was not involved,
12 people worked with President Truman to cover up the event in the years
following Roswell. The cover-up
eventually became known as Majestic, or Majestic-12, or MJ-12. Corso
claimed that the event was kept secret at the time because release of the
information would have created panic. But the Majestic group did want the
"truth" to eventually get out, so they started leaking
information. The MJ-12 allowed "disclosure of some of the most far-fetched information,
whether true or not, because it would help create a climate of public
attitude that would be able to accept the existence of extraterrestrial
life without a general sense of panic," wrote Corso. There
is overwhelming evidence that the Majestic
project really did exist and, assuming they are not fraudulent, the Majestic
Documents are gradually being exposed.
The campaign to reveal
the "secrets"
On May 9, 2001, UFO excitement was
re-ignited as "20 witnesses from the American military, intelligence
services, and scientific establishments gave their testimony to start a campaign
which they hope will force the government to investigate the UFO
phenomenon," according to an Independent
News article. Investigations such as the Air Force's Project Blue Book have
already gathered a vast amount of information. From 1947 to 1969 it investigated
12,618 sightings, and found explanations for all but 701. Steven Greer,
head of The Disclosure Project, a non-profit research group dedicated to
"working to fully disclose the facts about UFO's, extraterrestrial
intelligence, and classified advanced energy and propulsion systems" is the
force behind the current campaign.
In a Fox
News report on May 10, Greer commented that "Technologies connected to
UFOs and extra-terrestrial vehicles, if declassified and used for peaceful
energy generation and propulsion, would solve the looming energy crisis
definitively, would end global warming, would correct the environmental
challenges that the earth is facing." That sounds like the type of
conquering Messiah that the Jewish people were looking for to save their world,
too. But Jesus came and washed feet and died on a cross –
not quite what they had in mind. Once again, misplaced
hope will likely lead many people into deception as their expectations are based
on their desires and hopes rather than on the word of God. Satan is always more
than willing to supply substitutes for Christ.
So who are these little gray camera-shy creatures who dart around
the skies in shiny saucers, plucking select individuals to study in their
examining rooms? And what stance should Christians take on the subject? Are there alien civilizations living in
this enormous universe
which God created? Only He knows for sure, but a diligent study of scripture
points to the likely answer.
What does the Bible say?
There is only one God (Isaiah 45:21-22), and He created the heavens and the earth, and all living things (Genesis
1). He made the stars for the sole purpose of giving light to the earth,
to govern the day and the night on the earth, and to separate light from
darkness on the earth (Gen. 1:16b-18), not for housing other beings. The earth was the focus of His attention, around which his other
creations revolved.
Eve was the mother of all the living (Gen. 3:20).
Through the sin of Adam and Eve (Gen. 3; Rom. 5:12), mankind had need of a
Savior (John 3:3). Jesus, God's only son, became the sacrifice that would redeem
mankind (John 3:16). God's only provision for sin, Jesus, came in a human
body (John 1:14) to earth. God's plan for redemption was completed on the
cross (John 19:30). The Word of God was written for humans, and nothing
else can be added to it (Rev. 22:18-19). The new Jerusalem where Christians
will abide with God forever, is created for humans (Rev. 21:3). One God,
one plan, one Word, one people.
If God has indeed created other beings, then we can assume
several things:
- Either they are not capable of sin, or God didn't provide a
plan of salvation for them, because Jesus is the
only way to the Father (John 14:6) and He was sent to redeem humans;
- If they did sin, God would have to contradict His Word and
provide another way to be saved, or let them be eternally lost in sin
which would discredit Psalm 145:13b, "The Lord is faithful to all
his promises and loving toward all he has made."
- In eternity they will not live in the new Jerusalem with
God, because He made it for humans.
- They would have to use a human Bible which wouldn't pertain to their
situation.
For the
spiritually-minded, scripture discredits the notion that aliens are a race
from a faraway planet. And for those who prefer to operate in a
scientific realm, mathematical logic discounts the possibility as well.
The nearest star, Alpha Centauri, is 4.5 light years away. Even if
extraterrestrials traveled a million miles a day, it would take 70,000
years at over 41,000 mph just to make the journey to earth! That fact
alone suggests that these creatures are not constrained by time or aging
the way humans are. If they aren't "space men," who or
what are they, and where do they come from? Perhaps thousands of ludicrous beliefs exist, but we
will attempt to briefly present a few of the more rational explanations.
Normal scientific phenomena. Most alien and UFO sightings can be explained through
scientific means, such as the majority of those investigated during the 22 year
Project Blue Book research. Airplanes, helicopters, birds, flashes of light, and
swamp gas were often to blame. But Corso says Project Blue
Book served a dual purpose. "It would serve the public relations purposes
by allowing individuals to file reports on flying disk sightings. While the Blue
Book field officers attributed commonplace explanations to the reported
sightings,... the most intriguing sightings that had the highest probability of
being truly unidentified objects would be bumped upstairs to the working group
for dissemination to the authorized agencies carrying on the research."
A figment of the imagination. If people want to see something badly enough, there is a good
chance they will. Hallucinations could stem solely from a person's own desire, or could
also be mental images implanted from demonic forces in the spirit world as a way of drawing
someone away from the Truth.
Fallen angels disguised as aliens. The traditional view of demons is that they are fallen angels
driven out of heaven who roam the earth to deceive and destroy God's people. Demons are spiritual beings who prefer to inhabit the living body
of a person or animal. There are two classes of demons in scripture: One class whose abode is the air
and earth and are free to war against the saints (Eph. 6:12), and others who are
imprisoned in the Abyss (Jude 6; 2 Pet. 2:4; Luke 8:31; Rev. 9:1-3). Some people believe that demons
can pose as aliens for various purposes, such as to discredit God's Word,
provide false hope for mankind, or even to create fear. Although it is not clear
whether demons can change their physical form at will, 2 Cor. 11:14-15 seems to
suggest that they can, and holy angels appear to have that capacity (Heb. 13:2).
The "aliens-are-really-demons-in-disguise" theory is probably the one
most widely held by the Church.
Secret
military testing, conspiracy
or hoax. There are just too many people who suspect a
government cover-up for it to be totally out of the question. But what is the
government concealing – their own top secret
technology, the "truth" about aliens, or a grand hoax? Someone
or something is certainly going to a great deal of trouble to lead people to believe
that we are being visited from outer space.
Considering that many times the truth may be stranger than fiction, we
would be amiss not to suggest the possibility of a massive conspiracy
involving world leaders who are trying to manufacture a world-wide crisis
capable of uniting the world for a common cause: Global governance. An
"alien attack" would certainly distract people long enough to
agree to surrender their rights for the good of the global community.
The
Nephilim
In Genesis 6, the
Nephilim, an unnatural race of giants, are described
as the offspring of a union between the "sons of God" (B'nai Elohim
or Ben Elohim)
and the "daughters of men." B'nai Elohim is a term that refers
to angels and is translated "angels of God" in the ancient Septuagint.
This unnatural mating of angels into the human family resulted in the Nephilim,
which comes from the Hebrew word naphal (to fall), or the Fallen Ones. Some argue
that "sons of God" refers to the line of Seth, and the "daughters of
men" to Cain's line. This view is not scripturally defensible, and space for a thorough explanation of the subject is not permitted
here. However, since every other usage of B'nai
Elohim in the Old Testament refers to angels or the sons of God (Daniel
3:25, Job 2:1, Job 1:6, and Job 38:4-7), there is simply no valid reason
for it to mean something different in Genesis 6.
Proponents of this theory believe that the wicked angels were
trying to corrupt the genetic blood lineage that would ultimately produce the Savior, Jesus
Christ, and render His future death on the cross in vain. This is thought to
have been the reason for God's grieving which prompted the flood in an
attempt to preserve His plan for redemption of mankind. Certainly
the extreme nature of Gods judgment is difficult to explain for something as
simple as the sins of the Cain lineage. In the blood corruption theory,
apparently Noah's line
was the only one not corrupted by this heinous sin, "Noah was a just man
and perfect in his generations..." (Gen. 6:9 KJV)
Another scriptural passage that suggests the Nephilim were not
ordinary humans, is found in Gen. 6:4, "The Nephilim were on the earth
in those days–
[before the flood] and also afterward..."
All animals and humans, with the exception of those on the ark, were wiped off
the face of the earth during the flood, so how did they appear later unless they
were something other than human? Upon escaping the
Egyptians, the Israelites were afraid to go into the promised land of
Canaan because
"All the people we saw there are of great size. We saw the
Nephilim there (the descendents of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed
like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." (Numbers
13:32-33) Forty years later God clearly commands the Israelites to destroy every man, woman and
child from certain tribes upon entering the land. Did He have the same
"gene-pool" concerns that initiated the flood?
The
Bible reveals that there were numerous strongholds of these giants in the
early days of Israel (Deuteronomy 2:11, 20, 3:11, 13; and Joshua 12:4,
13:12, 15:8, 17:15, 18:16), and many
early historians speak of the giants as
fact, including Josephus Flavius in the first century. He has this to say
in his book Antiquities of the Jews:
There
were till then left the race of giants, who had bodies so large, and
countenances so entirely different from other men, that they were
surprising to the sight, and terrible to the hearing. The bones of these
men are still shown to this very day, unlike to any credible relations of
other men. (5.3.2; underlining added for emphasis)
The Book of Enoch
While the Hebrew Book of Enoch is not
canonized as part of the Bible, and should not be considered as an authentic
word of God, it can be used as an outside historical reference that was generally accepted
by many, if not most of the priests at the time of Christ. Although some say
Jude is being sarcastic, Jude 14 quotes Enoch as a seemingly legitimate source. The Book of Enoch, if valid, greatly
expands upon the few verses of Genesis 6:1-6. Enoch 6:1-7 states:
In those days, when the children of
man had multiplied, it happened that there were born unto them handsome
and beautiful daughters, and the angels, the children of heaven, saw
them and desired them; and they said to one another, "Come, let us
choose wives for ourselves from among the daughters of man and beget us
children." ...And they were altogether two hundred; and they
descended into Ardos, which is the summit of Hermon. And they called
the mount, for they swore and bound one another by a curse.
And they took wives unto themselves,
and everyone chose one woman for himself, and they began to go unto
them. And they taught them magical medicine, incantations, the cutting
of roots, and taught them about plants. And the women became pregnant
and gave birth to great giants whose heights were three hundred cubits.
These giants consumed the produce of all the people until the people
detested feeding them. So the giants turned against [the people] in
order to eat them. And they began to sin against birds, wild beasts,
reptiles, and fish. And their flesh was devoured the one by the other
and they drank blood. (Enoch 7:1-6)
The Nephilim theory maintains that since they
were neither fully human nor fully spirit, when their bodies died during the
flood, there was no place for their spirits to go and they became the demons
or evil spirits of the Bible – differing from fallen angels in the
fact that demons (Nephilim spirits) seek embodiment in humans. The Book of Enoch says:
[Why have] you abandoned the high,
holy, and eternal heaven, and slept with women and defiled yourselves
with the daughters of the people, taking wives, acting like the children
of the earth, and begetting giant sons? ...But now the giants who are
born from the union of the spirits and the flesh shall be called evil
spirits upon the earth, because their dwelling shall be upon the earth
and inside the earth. Evil spirits have come out of their bodies.... They
will become evil upon the earth and shall be called evil spirits.... The
spirits of the giants oppress each other; they will corrupt, fall, be
excited, and fall upon the earth, and cause sorrow. They eat no food,
nor become thirsty, nor find obstacles. And these spirits shall rise up
against the children of the people and against the women, because they
have proceeded forth from them. (Enoch 15:3-12; underlining added for
emphasis)
The Book of Enoch also explains how long
this curse will continue on the spirits of the Nephilim and human beings:
From the days of the slaughter and
destruction, and the death of the giants and the spiritual beings of the
spirit, and the flesh, from which they have proceeded forth, which will
corrupt without incurring judgment, they will corrupt until the day of
the great conclusion, until the great age is consummated, until
everything is concluded..."
The Testament of Solomon is
another Hebrew text that has never been cannonized. While it is thought
that the Book of Enoch was written about 300 BC, the Testament of Solomon
is written in Greek and is believed to have been penned about 100 AD.
Although its authenticity is even far more suspect than Enoch, it does
have one passage that could shed some light on the future, if true:
I [Solomon] commanded
another demon be brought to me, and he [Beelzeboul] brought me the evil
demon Asmodeus, bound. I asked him, "who are you?" He scowled
at me and said, "and who are you?" I said to him,
"you dare to answer so arrogantly when you have been punished like
this?" He continued to give forth the same look and said to me,
"how should I answer you? You are the son of a man, but although I
was born of a human mother, I am the son of an angel, it is
impossible for one of heavenly origin to speak an arrogant word to one
of the earthly origin.... You have us to torture for a little while; then
we shall disperse among human beings again with the result that we shall
be worshipped as gods because men do not know the names of the angels
who rule over us." (Introduction to Testament of Solomon,
underlining added for emphasis)
That
makes a definite distinction between demons and fallen angels. It is possible that the
angels who committed
fornication with women in Genesis 6 are the same ones who are now chained and awaiting
judgment in 2 Pet. 2:4, and 1 Pet. 3:19-20 "...through
who also he [Jesus] went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago
when God waited patiently in the day of Noah while the ark was being
built." Jude 6-7 says "And the angels which kept not their
first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in
everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even
as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh..."
(KJV, underlining added)
There is an ongoing debate about whether or
not angels can even have intercourse, but the Bible doesn't say that they
are incapable of it, only that they do not marry (Mark 12:25). Angels are not
referred to as "its" in scripture, but as "sons of
God." If they are able to take on human form, one can surmise that in
a fallen state, sex might be a possibility for them, too.
People who have been "abducted" by aliens,
claim that the beings have an intense fascination about studying the human
reproduction system, and seem to be trying to create a human-alien hybrid.
"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son
of Man." (Matt. 24:37) Are we seeing a repeat of the angelic antics
that precipitated the flood? If aliens are really evil spirits, what is their
purpose in carrying on this enormous hoax for so many years?
Alien agenda
All of their agendas have a common
denominator: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and
destroy..." (John 10:10), and the means to accomplish this feat
is deception. Enoch gives the account of a typical class of
Deception 101 in the Nephilim school of "higher learning":
Amasras' taught incantation and the cutting of roots; and Armaros the
resolving of incantations; and Baraqiyal astrology, and Kokarer'el' [the
knowledge of] the signs, and Tam'el taught the seeing of the stars, and
Asder'el taught the course of the moon as well as the deception of
man.
(Enoch 8:2-4; underline added for emphasis)
Coming between God and his highest creation is what
drives these demonic spirits, and the host of tools in their arsenal runs
deep: Cast doubt on the Bible, present alternate ways of salvation,
discredit Jesus' deity, foster an interest in the
occult and even appear to be
angels of light (1 Cor. 11:13) – bringing a message
of hope which is designed
to deceive people into the pit of hell. Jesus warns in Matthew 24:24 that
in the last days there will be many false Christs and prophets which will
"appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the
elect –
if that were possible." Could these false Christs be demons, perhaps
even fallen angels appearing as alien gods, claiming to be the Messiah?
The Nephilim
theory seems to be the ideal solution that could tie together all end-time prophecies. The
question that looms on every analyst's mind is how are the globalists
going to get the people of the world, especially Americans, to accept the
UN as a world government? Even the most avid liberal would run from such
an idea. Likewise, how are they going to fool the Christians, who should
be on their guard against this effort? The Nephilim/alien theory provides
the perfect answer.
Most people are
now ready to accept these kindly beings as saviors to fix the world's
seemingly unsolvable problems. To do this, it would be only natural that
the aliens would insist that the world come together under a common
government. Ironically, this idea is supported by Corso who believed that
"the civilian intelligence agencies" involved in the Roswell
project, led by the CIA, had a blueprint for a "world order based
upon an international government..." Since many Christians are Bible illiterate, they would likely
join the rest of the world in welcoming the miracle-producing benevolent
visitors – thus becoming perfect pawns to
assist in advancing this global agenda. Jesus said that in the last days there will be a great and bitter falling away from
the faith: "At that time many will turn away from the faith and will
betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and
deceive many people." (Mat. 24:10-11)
Although there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to
support it, the Nephilim theory cannot be proven. Most end-time prophecies can be fulfilled in other, more
readily-accepted ways as well. Nonetheless, something is happening out
there. "Aliens" have been seen too many times by too many
credible people to be just mass hysteria, and it is difficult to imagine that some
sort of alien deception will not play a
significant factor in the end times, orchestrated by Satan himself. Rather
than being "enlightened" from the message of these visitors, we
may find that they are drawing us ever further into the shadows.
Christians need to "Put on the full armor of God so
that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." (Eph.
6:11) We must arm ourselves with knowledge of God's Word as a safeguard
against deception. If not, we may wake up one morning to screaming headlines: UFOs
ARE REAL – ALIENS HERE TO HELP HUMANITY!,
and find ourselves being sucked in to the greatest deception in
the history of mankind, fulfilling 2 Thessalonians 2:9, "The coming
of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed
in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders."
Regardless of what you believe, keep this in mind, "Dear friends, do not
believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God..."
(I John 4:1), because in the last days many will be led astray. Don't fall into
that trap, because what you don't know can hurt you. V
