Hi everyone- a question. What is your take on the UFO phenomenon?
Sometimes people see things that they don't know what they are. Sometimes they are later identified, and so they are no longer unidentified; sometimes they remain unidentified. And sometimes people lie.
No.
I think it may be a demonic deception. Back in the middle-ages people thought this was witches,
In the middle ages belief in witches was considered superstition, something only Pagans believed. The Church actively taught against a belief in witches because it was an example of what the Church considered Pagan superstition. This is also why the Church, and state governments of the time, explicitly outlawed witch-hunting. It had been a practice among the Pagan Saxons before their conversion to Christianity, to suspect certain people of being witches, and then hunting them and putting them to death. Both Church and State condemned this.
The Council of Paderborn (785 AD), was a Frankish council which dealt with the conversion of the Saxons to Christianity, explicitly condemns belief in witches, witchcraft, magic, and the act of hunting witches as heathen idolatry.
Belief in witches is a modern phenomenon that arose only in the early modern period. Witch trials didn't happen in the middle ages, but happened in modern times, such in Salem, Massachusetts.
now in modern-times it has switched to aliens. I have heard stories of people that were being abducted by aliens and they cried out to God and instantly it stopped! I am also not above thinking these UFOs may be an ultra deep-black secret US government aircraft, back in the 40's the Nazi Germans were working on anti-gravity, there is no telling what they have got and are working on today! Apparently there are things we have that are so secret even the President of the United States does not know about them!
There's no reason to believe what there's no reason to believe.
If someone sees something that they don't know, it just means they see something they don't know. If it is unidentified, then it is unidentified.
As far as reports of abductions--I'll be frank, I am more willing to believe that such people are either lying or were high on drugs than that they experienced either aliens or demons disguised as aliens.
