John Weldon: "How credible is it to think that extraterrestrials would fly millions of light years simply to teach "New-Age" philosophy, deny Christianity and support the occult? And why would the entities actually inhabit people, just like demons do, if they were really advanced extraterrestrials?"
Dr. Jacques Vallee:
"We are dealing with a yet unrecognized level of consciousness, independent of man but closely linked to the earth.... I do not believe anymore that UFOs are simply the spacecraft of some race of extraterrestrial visitors. This notion is too simplistic to explain their appearance, the frequency of their manifestations through recorded history, and the structure of the information exchanged with them during contact."
"An impressive parallel can be made between UFO occupants and the popular conceptions of demons."
UFOs can project images or fabricated scenes designed to change our belief systems."
"...human belief... is being controlled and conditioned," "man's concepts are being rearranged," and we may be headed toward "a massive change of human attitudes toward paranormal abilities and extraterrestrial life."
"The 'medical examination' to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical or biological framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks."
"...the symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiations ritual or astral voyage that is imbedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture." Thus, "the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals."
Lynn E. Catoe (the senior bibliographer for a government publication researched by the Library of Congress for the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research: UFOs and Related Subjects).
"A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestations and 'possession.' Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena...."
Dr. Pierre Guerin [an eminent scientist associated with the French National Council for Scientific Research]:
UFO "behavior is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it."
"The modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical." "What is quite certain is that the phenomenon is active here on our planet, and active here as master."
John A. Keel [one of the most informed persons in the world on UFOs, author of the now-classic UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse]:
"The manifestations and occurrences described in this imposing literature on demonology are similar if not entirely identical to the UFO phenomenon itself.
"The UFO manifestations seem to be, by ad large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon."
Ivar Mackay [former chairman of the respected British UFO Research Association]:
"...if one sets the three occult groups against the three classifications of UFO entities and their characteristics, it is rather surprising how complementary to each other they appear to be, not only through their appearance, activities, and level of behavior, but also in the quality of mental and, especially, emotional reaction and response that has been noted to have occurred on contact."
Trevor James [veteran UFO researcher]:
"A working knowledge of occult science... is indispensable to UFO investigation."
"Sociologists" Stupple and McNeece:
"...studies of flying saucer cults repeatedly show that they are part of a larger occult social world."
But why restrict our interest to the traditional view of Angels? An equally impressive parallel could be made between UFO occupants and the popular conception of demons, and indeed sociologists have pointed out that 'the same elements are involved in diabolic contacts as in the divine encounters of increasing intimacy with what is defined as a supernatural consciousness.' There are some religious thinkers who see the sinister hand of Satan in the more bizarre UFO cases. - Jacques Vallee
"Many UFO reports seem to pertain more to accounts of 'poltergeist'(cases where objects fly around the room and strange sounds are heard) and other types of 'psychic' manifestations than to actual solid items of nuts and bolts hardware. That is one of the reasons why I cannot accept these as visitors from outer space." Dr. J. Allen Hynek (was a United States astronomer, professor, and ufologist. He is perhaps best remembered for his UFO research. Hynek acted as scientific adviser to UFO studies undertaken by the U.S. Air Force
