In Brief: Whistleblower "Reveals" Ultimate UFO Secret: "God Is Real"

For the better part of two decades, I have pressed the point the ufology and ancient astronaut theory are attempts to find a quasi-scientific substitute for traditional religious beliefs in an era of declining support for mainstream churches. It was obvious enough when the first ufologists were revealed to be Theosophists back in the 1950s, and it was just as obvious when John Mack and Ancient Aliens both concluded that so-called "abduction" reports proved that aliens were psychopomps who would take souls to a heaven dimension--or when Ancient Aliens told viewers to worship Lucifer. But the more recent wave of ufology, from 2017 until now, has tried to distance itself from the spiritual side, at least in public, and instead coat its faith-based initiatives in the clothing of official government support. Then Jeremy Corbell tweeted.

“You are not free. And this reality, has far more to it than you have been ALLOWED, to believe. And God is real,” so-called UFO whistleblower Matthew Brown is quoted as saying in a posting Corbell made to X yesterday.  This is about as clear an example of the underlying spiritual project behind ufology's search for superior alien species as you are likely to get. It is also, unsurprisingly, an unintentional return to the Theosophical ideas about unseen realms and hidden levels to reality that infested early ufology from the very first days of the UFO era.
