Aliens & UFOs: Messengers or Deceivers?
A serious look at the UFO encounter and Alien abduction phenomenon from an LDS viewpoint. See what Mormons are thinking about the New Age and the Occult.
What in the world is going on? A generation ago UFOs were thought to be either a fluke of human psychology or public glimpses of top-secret government research projects. Since then, millions worldwide have had UFO sightings. A Roper Organization survey indicates that seven percent of the adult U.S. population (12.95 million people), have seen a UFO, and over 3.5 million American adults may have been abducted by space visitors. A survey taken by the author shows that the same percentage of sightings has occurred among the Latter-day Saints. As improbably as this may seem, the “space brothers” appear to be methodically researching and re-engineering human beings. They also are implanting in the minds of millions a “message” that momentous changes to the planet are imminent—even at our doors.
In this work, James Thompson asks critical questions and analyzes the available data. The author first reviews what is possible, using the scriptures and statements of latter-day prophets as a guide, showing that human life exists throughout the universe on countless “probationary” planets like Earth.
He then traces the long history of the UFO enigma and alien encounters up through the present widespread “abduction” and “message” phase. He shows that thousands are being abducted, then sent on their way with a message for humanity—that the aliens are coming and bringing with them a new way of life.
Finally, he exposes the “aliens” to spiritual scrutiny for the first time. He shows that there is a real possibility that not all of the visitors are the scouts and explorers of distant societies, but are, in fact, the same beings that appear as angels of light, sent by their master, Satan, to deceive mankind.
Within the pages of this volume you will discover for yourself that the greatest mystery of our time will soon take on gargantuan proportions with vast “last days” implications. Ready or not, the “aliens” are coming—and all hell is about to break loose. This book is must reading for you!
The experience of Udo Wartena was brought to the world's attention in this book, and was presented to MUFON and in UFO Magazine.

"The gem in my radical LDS-leaning weird book collection! This is the book my wife loves to hate. It has been the subject of more dinner party conversations than I can count. Published in 1993, the book looks at the UFO phenomena from an LDS perspective. Didn't think such a thing was possible? Read on! The author's thesis is basicly that almost all UFO events not explained as natural mistaken causes, can be attributed to Satanic machinations designed to confuse and lead mankind astray. Lots of individual UFO accounts. There are a few surprises in here too! I salute the author for undertaking such a controversial topic."

Like Jacques Vallee, the author believes many UFO encounters are best understood as paranormal/spiritual events. The author uses both well-known UFO encounters and lesser known Utah UFO encounters to build a case that UFOs, especially encounters with supposed alien creatures, may be demonically inspired/controlled. He honestly admits not all the evidence fits into his hypthesis. Written specifically for an LDS audience. His other book on the subject, "Alien Encounters: the deception menace" is written for a wider audience. One of the creepiest books I've ever read.
