Vance vs. "Aliens"

Prominent American pastors are warning that President Donald Trump’s impending release of the “alien files” could destroy Christian beliefs, declaring that churches must be prepared to maintain the unity of their congregations.

They claim they have been contacted by administration officials in Washington (most likely intelligence officials with a Christian worldview).

At least six American Protestant spiritual leaders were invited to an “Airbnb rental in the Tennessee mountains to discuss the US government’s investigation into crimes they committed while extracting and reverse-engineering technology derived from non-human intelligence,” said one of the participants, Bishop Alan DiDio of the Renewal of the Nation Church. “The meeting also discussed a propaganda plan developed in anticipation of the disclosure.”

Evangelist and pastor Perry Stone claimed that the “alien files” could contain reports and possibly video recordings confirming the existence of extraterrestrial beings and alien spacecraft.

“There will be people who will say that if there are galaxies and supposedly other beings in the galaxies, then the entire creation story is a myth, and there will be people who will abandon the Christian faith because they have no answer to what they’re about to hear,” Stone said.

These warnings come weeks after Trump ordered several government agencies, including the Department of Defense, to release documents on aliens and extraterrestrial life. In recent months, he has hinted at the possibility of releasing these “alien files,” without going into detail.

“We’re going to release a lot of stuff that we haven’t released before. I think some of it will be very interesting to people,” Trump said last week.

Stone said the upcoming revelations could render the Bible a “myth” and cause believers to fall away from the teachings of Christ.

A group that also included Bishop Alan DiDio of the Renewal of the Nation church suggested that the Trump administration’s revelations are part of a conspiracy to lure people away from Christianity. However, some prominent Trump administration officials have taken a highly skeptical stance toward “aliens.”

Vice President J.D. Vance, who previously admitted to being a “UFO fan,” in March called extraterrestrial beings “demons.”

“I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons,” Vance said.

Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna linked aliens to the Hebrew Book of Enoch, claiming it mentions extraterrestrials—a book written 100 to 300 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. She called aliens “interdimensional beings” and claimed that the Book of Enoch mentions 200 angels known as Watchers who came to Earth and communicated with humans.

Luna also claimed to have seen evidence of alien spacecraft.

“Have I personally seen a spacecraft? No. Have I seen evidence of it? Yes. Have I seen photographic documentation of craft that I don’t believe were man-made? Yes. Is it historically significant? Yes,” Luna told popular right-wing podcast host Joe Rogan last year.

All of this makes it highly likely that the Trump administration is preparing to detonate some kind of information bomb, designed to distract Americans (and perhaps the entire world) from current US foreign and domestic political problems for a long time, and possibly serve as a “wild card” in the November elections. This conclusion itself is rather banal—but what makes the conflict interesting is the position of several conservative pastors and the “dissenting opinion” of Vice President Vance, who clearly believes that flirting with “demons,” even for short-term political gain, is dangerous. Perhaps the world truly is on the threshold of a “Great Revelation,” which could turn out to be a Great Deception.

President Trump on Truth Social: “Given the overwhelming interest, I am directing the Secretary of Defense and other relevant agencies and departments to initiate processes and government documents on current alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial objects (UAPs), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), as well as any other information related to physical entities, but extremely interesting and significant issues. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: “The Department is working with President Trump to ensure unprecedented transparency regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena.”

Recently, the Trump administration released the first official portion of declassified UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs) files through the new Presidential System for Declassification and Encounters of UFO Reports (PURSUE). The files are posted on the official government website: https://www.war.gov/UFO/. This marks the beginning of a phased release of new materials (every few weeks) covering the impact of unsolved cases across various agencies, with a significant emphasis on unprecedented transparency.

The first release focuses on 162 FBI documents, all in PDF format. These are unsolved cases in which the government states it cannot draw a definitive conclusion about natural trends—often due to data limitations—and explicitly proposes an analysis involving public and private sectors.

A number of media outlets (Fox News, the New York Post, and others) are highlighting additional materials from the broader release:

Photographs from the Apollo 12 and 17 missions showing oddly shaped objects and clusters of dots in the lunar sky.

Archival images from the Apollo 17 lunar mission. The yellow end shows a zoomed-in section of the original photograph, showing three light sources over the lunar landscape. Transcript of Apollo 17 operator conversation describing “very heavy particles or fragments” flying past the spacecraft and “jagged, angular fragments falling.”

FBI photographs from 1999 depicting two UFOs with black dots flying near the presidential jets.

An inverted teardrop-shaped object with a vertical linear plume over the United Arab Emirates (June 2024).

A “strange contrast” or unexplained region in the sky over Iraq (December 2022, according to CENTCOM).

A small, round UFO flies low over the ocean toward land off the coast of Greece.

Overall, no sensational materials have been released yet, but this is understandable: public opinion will gradually warm to the Big Revelation.
