A Tennessee pastor’s claims about UFO disclosure made headlines this week. In an April 27 YouTube video, Perry Stone, a televangelist, claimed that a friend had told him that a group of pastors gathered for a secret meeting in an unnamed state with U.S. government officials, who urged them to be prepared for the UFO files Donald Trump ordered released to reveal the presence of Reptilian creatures. The officials “were telling us as pastors, ‘You need to prepare your people, and you need to get ready to answer them for what you're about to hear being released’,” Stone said.
“And some of it has to do with crafts that have been discovered that are not allegedly a part of our planet, and the materials they're made of are not a part of our planet. Very strange, reptilian-looking creatures and other things that almost sound like something out of a sci-fi movie or an Orson Welles [sic] book,” he added, confusing filmmaker Orson Welles with novelist H. G. Wells.
Stone went on to claim, on the word of his son Jonathan, that the government planned to lie about the Rapture by blaming it on space aliens, speculating that the true pilots of flying saucers are the fallen angel Watchers: “Is this a manifestation of the fallen angels that came down to the daughters of men in Noah’s day?” Stone and his family are no stranger to bizarre conspiracy theories and unusual interpretations of the Bible. He has endorsed the Islamic-influenced idea of a Pre-Adamite world ruled by Satan, while his son Jonathan claimed that former president Barack Obama is an AI-powered robot. End-Times pastor Alan DiDio took the opportunity to endorse Stone’s claims, alleging in social media posts that he was in the meeting with the officials and that he also met with a group of Tennessee pastors at an Airbnb (!) in March, though with no government officials present, in order to discuss the spiritual threat posed by the revelation that UFOs are the chariots of fallen angels. There is no documentary evidence or confirmation from the Trump Administration that these meetings took place or that any government-affiliated UFO believers were speaking in an official capacity. Pastor Larry Ragland also alleged that he was part of a different meeting with believers affiliated with the intelligence community and a sitting congressman, who supposedly claimed that the interdimensional beings (from the Skinwalker Ranch mythos) plan to claim they created humanity, just as Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin had foretold: “A handful of pastors were invited to come to a private meeting with a group of men who are connected with the intelligence world who are believers but still have very high security clearances that are still connected to Washington and even this current administration. We had a sitting Congressman called into that meeting for pastors and he said, ‘Are the pastors listening to me? Go and tell the church they are not ready for what is coming. They are preparing to tell us they are from another dimension and they are our creator. Prepare the people for what is coming because they are not ready.’” This sounds very much like the usual UFO spook crew of believers who orbit the space between the Pentagon UFO investigations and the Skinwalker Ranch media circus. They are known to push the interdimensional hypothesis, a favorite of Hal Puthoff. The meetings with pastors allegedly occurred around the time that Vice President JD Vance made headlines by claiming in late March that UFOs are vehicles driven by demons, not aliens, modifying his earlier position that UFOs might be vehicles driven by either angels or demons.

If UFOs were real, then we would probably modify them to do some odd form of racing in space (and NASA would sponsor it).

Why did you capitalize the R in the word reptilian? The presence of reptilian creatures on Earth goes back to over 300 million years ago. Did not need Donald Trump to release UFO files to learn about that. Also, what are UFO files other than the title of a television show?

This is the fake Christianity, aka Manichaesm secretly following the prophet Mani. They are the ones who talk about "fallen angels" all the time.

Ah, yes, those famous Manichaeans... *checks notes* Dante Alighieri and John Milton.

Yes, notice how they wrote fiction that became mythology when ignorant people took quotes of their poetry as something like scripture... Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
