I believe in UFO's but a different view. I am Christian- it says in the Bible there will be strange heavenly changes, it could be darkness of evil?, or God's angels watching us closer now because of the "time" of our earthly end times.Plus it also could be part of God's plans to have heavenly being close to help us in the end. Look it up in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Also look up the word Rapture- But I am waiting and not assuming it's good or evil until they show their true colors.

"Where should I look up the Rapture?
It doesn't seem to be in any Bible I own."
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."
-- 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Doesn't contain the word "Rapture", but it's where the idea comes from. Of course, there's no mention as to whether this event is supposed to happen before, during, or after the Tribulation described in Revelation.
@ tracer,
Yes, I know the idea comes from 1 Thessalonians ;-)
But that's just one interpretation, I mean, the Jehovah's Witnesses use the same verses to claim Jesus and the Archangel Michael were one and the same.
I just noticed something. I haven't seen a misplaced, or displaced, question mark in awhile. And if you look up "rapture" in a bible dictionary, you'll notice that the word isn't there. In the Latin Vulgate, the word is there, once, and doesn't mean what you think it does.

Oh, goody.
it could be...?, or...it also could be...not assuming
Grow a fucking spine. Make a cosmic prediction and stick with it!

How do you know when the colors are true?
Yes, and the Pyramids weren't made by the ancient Egyptians, but by the Goa'uld.
Erich von Daniken reader, much?
Going OT: Whilst UFOs are fine & all, 'Flying Saucers'?! I mean, come ON! That's SO 1950s. The aliens may have superior intelligence & technologies, but their sense of aesthetics isn't worth the sweat off my bollocks. Not until ol' ET appears in a Valdore-class Warbird (I creamed at the sight of those new Romulan ships in "ST:Nemesis").
The 'heaven' of the Bible is a solid hemisphere. It can be reached by building a tower. It has water above it which leaks through when it rains.
It is inhabited by 'Angels', a word which means 'messengers'; glowing man-shaped creatures which scoot across the sky on their Boss's bidding. Strange, everyone can see meteors shoot across the sky, and astigmatism gives them a vaguely man-shaped appearance, but the Bible doesn't mention them at all. Unless, of course, the 'supernatural heavenly angelic spiritual beings' of the Bible actually ARE those lumps of falling rock.
If Heaven really is another dimension, why did Jesus go up to the sky?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
