Some have misinterpreted verse 9 to mean the holy city is the bride of Christ, but that cannot be because Christ died for His people, not for a city.
Jesus died so the Father could once again live among the people. The Adversaryy is not beyond twisting that to have us make it about ourselves. It's what he and we traditionally do. People have even convinced themselves we go to Heaven and God rather than what Jesus said about Him coming here to a new world,. The Adversary will have no job or place in earth once the Father returns so it is in his best interest to have us keep thinking selfishly like we have always done since the Garden.

I don’t see the problem from a Christian point of view. A few posters seem to think it would cause problems for YEC cosmology. I’m not sure it would, but we already know that’s wrong anyway. I don’t see why God would have had to tell the Hebrews the story of other planets.

I was interested in UFOs as a teenager. (I’m now 71.). There nothing in the new stuff that wasn’t in the Conlon report in 1968. It had suggested explanations for many sightings, but included a list of sightings that were fairly solid and very hard to explain. That doesn’t mean there’s no terrestrial explanation, either for old or new sightings, of course.

Yes it is but God must be able to live among us first. Again, God comes first, we come later.,

Revelation 19:7-8
Ephesians 5:25-27
2 Corinthians 11:2

Please engage with these scriptures before we go any further.

What does this discussion have to do with OP regarding Tucker Carlson's commentary on UFOs?

A possible contrast between alien and human thinking? Like I said earlier, man tends to be self centred. It will be interesting to see how aliens think, whether they too are fallen or above us.

I will be glad if you will find something solid

I have to say I completely disagree with your way of thinking. Just because a book is written by a Christian doesn't make it unreliable, quite the opposite in fact. For me the first source was solid. God Bless

Before I commence, I would like to say that I'm speaking as an amateur Ufologist and a member of MUFON. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I've researched this subject for many years.

I've always liked to read and watch things on this subject for years as well. I don't put too much attention on it from any extreme standpoint find it periodically interesting. From what I've heard from some MUFON had some struggle among their numbers. Some wanted to go with strictly a material way of thinking about these things as in extraterrestrial and lot of others were starting to lean towards extra-dimensional meaning spiritual. I think Jacques Vallée from which Close Encounters was loosely based after a few years began leaning towards the extra-dimensional possibility above the other.

Personally, I think a disclosure of a large magnitude would be emotionally devastating and petrifying to the vast majority of Americans.
Why exactly emotionally devastating?

It would cause a massive widespread panic and perhaps even an economic collapse.

Wouldn't that all depend on what abilities they seemed to have and what their agenda was towards the human race?

An immediate disclosure would cause a serious crisis of faith for many religious people, especially for fundamentalist Christians.

Well I'm what you'd call a fundamentalist Christian. Actually I think the fundamentalist type would handle something like this better than other types as fundamentalists have talked for years about things that happened in Gen 6:2 and have speculated the possibility we could see it again. The point would be not to be deceived by what such beings would put out. Traditional religionists I think might be more rocked as I'm not sure many of them have given much thought to things like Genesis 6 and how many interpret it.

The reality of the odds of other world’s existing that are capable of supporting life are as follows, from an article from Eric Mataxes:

Carl Sagan once announced that there were two important criteria for a planet to support life: The right kind of star, and a planet the right distance from that star. Given the roughly octillion—1 followed by 27 zeros—planets in the universe, there should have been about septillion—1 followed by 24 zeros—planets capable of supporting life.

With such spectacular odds, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a large, expensive collection of private and publicly funded projects launched in the 1960s, was sure to turn up something soon. Scientists listened with a vast radio telescopic network for signals that resembled coded intelligence and were not merely random. But as years passed, the silence from the rest of the universe was deafening. Congress defunded SETI in 1993, but the search continues with private funds. As of 2014, researchers have discovered precisely bubkis—0 followed by nothing.

What happened? As our knowledge of the universe increased, it became clear that there were far more factors necessary for life than Sagan supposed. His two parameters grew to 10 and then 20 and then 50, and so the number of potentially life-supporting planets decreased accordingly. The number dropped to a few thousand planets and kept on plummeting.

Even SETI proponents acknowledged the problem. Peter Schenkelwrote in a 2006 piece for Skeptical Inquirer magazine: “In light of new findings and insights, it seems appropriate to put excessive euphoria to rest . . . . We should quietly admit that the early estimates . . . may no longer be tenable.”

As factors continued to be discovered, the number of possible planets hit zero, and kept going. In other words, the odds turned against any planet in the universe supporting life, including this one. Probability said that even we shouldn’t be here.

Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life—every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart. Without a massive planet like Jupiter nearby, whose gravity will draw away asteroids, a thousand times as many would hit Earth’s surface. The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing.

I believe that if God did choose to create man on other planets somewhere, that he’d put them so far apart that they’d never interact.

It’s a big universe.

Seems contradictory to say demons are afraid of you, and also that people see what they believe they’ll see.

I also consider the opposite because of the U in UFO. That Jesus Christ returns and people will think this is the anti-Christ because the equation UFO = Demons seems to be the consensus opinion here on CF.

Basically when something is unidentified, to assume it's identity with anything is defining something in ignorance.
