The most troublesome UFO sightings — those that may result in people claiming they have been abducted or taken aboard UFOs for mind experiments — often leave skeptics, atheists, rationalists and others struggling for believable answers. Yet Christians suspect they are almost certainly the work of Satan or his demons.

The Bible says Satan comes disguised as “an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), and he comes with all sorts of counterfeit miracles (2 Thessalonians 2:9). These types of UFO encounters often occur in areas with a lot of interest in the occult, or where there are churches of Satan, or they happen to people who have an interest in occult things.
