Now here's an odd book. It's probably the most bizarre bit of conspiracy theorizing I've ever come across, and yet, if you believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, then the premise presented here certainly seems plausible; logical, even. This is by far Missler's most captivating book, but also highly theoretical in nature, and not something that most people are going to be able to buy into. However, Missler does make a strong case that the UFO phenomenon is a real event not simply regulated to the hallucinations of the stupid and the mentally imbalanced--and, no, crop circles don't factor into his argument at all. He also shows good evidence that what has been going on in cases of UFO sightings and alien abductions is very possibly of an interdimensional nature rather than an extraterrestrial one. Of course, none of these ideas are particularly new. Missler's book is basically a compilation of a handful of earlier books on the same topic, but Missler's status as a fairly mainstream Christian author makes this book a pretty daring little surprise. Only time will tell whether or not there is really something to it all. Already since the writing of this book, and somewhat contrary to the authors' expectations, the general public's interest in aliens and New Age philosophy seems to be on the wane in favor of a more materialistic worldview, but that certainly doesn't mean that the aliens can't make a comeback. Either way, despite Missler's occasional tendency to repeat himself, an overuse of exclamation marks, and altogether too many typos to ignore, it's still an entertaining read on par with watching an excellent X-Files episode.

If you read the reviews below by Mandi, Elle, Janett and Danny, you will get a very good idea of Chuck Missler's credibility as a scientist and a Christian.
Missler uses a solid understanding of Hebrew and Greek to uncover the real meaning of scriptures that have seemed to lose their importance when translated into English. We have missed very significant facts, especially about the Nephilim.
Chuck Missler does a solid Bible study on Youtube regarding the history of the Nephilim from Adam to the present. With scientific DNA technology today, we are no longer disbelieving at the possibility of interspecies hybrids (man/animal hybrids are the most frightening because man could lose the ability and right to enter Heaven). Man/fallen angel hybrids do not seem out of the realm of reality.
Note: the Bible says that the angels in Heaven do not marry ... it does not say that they do not have intercourse. On earth, it is not necessary to be married to reproduce. Besides, these fallen angels are not in Heaven so this scripture no longer applies to them. God's angels took on human form (eating with Abraham, etc.) and walked on the earth. Fallen angels retained their ability to take on other forms.
As an aside, which I am not going to expand on in this review, people in Heaven have organs. Dr. Richard Eby, a gynecologist and osteopathic physician, whose testimony is on Youtube and in his book, checked his body over when he died and went to Heaven. He found that he had many organs, but no sexual organs (because there is no reproduction in Heaven.) Reproduction is an earthly phenomenon. That is why the fallen angels needed humans from earth in order to have offspring. Angels have DNA. Fallen angels have a Y chromosome. If they did not have Y chromosomes, then all Nephilim would be female because females have only X chromosomes. But Nephilim can be either male or female. It is not necessary for intercourse to occur for DNA to be moved supernaturally to the egg of a woman and produce a male Nephilim. The Holy Spirit hovered over Mary. He did not have intercourse with her.
However, in the descriptions of rape of women by fallen angels in SRA (Satanic ritual abuse), the fallen angels "shape shift" into male human bodies and the women can feel the intercourse experience. I use the term "shape shift" because it is more easily understood. When angels from Heaven take on the appearance of humans to the extent that they can be around us while we are unaware of them (Heb 13:2), they are obviously changing shape.
However, just because they "shape shift" into male anatomy does not mean that they have sperm. The resultant DNA of the Nephilim is probably produced with the frequency of energy. Just my opinion.
If we are going to deny the possibility of fallen angels having sex with human women and producing offspring, then we must also deny the possibility of God overshadowing Mary and producing Jesus. Jesus had a Y chromosome. He didn't get it from Mary. He got it from God. God produced an heir on earth by mixing supernatural and natural seed.
Obviously, the Holy Spirit did not have intercourse with Mary. But her egg merged with the Y chromosome of God and produced Jesus. How did that happen? We have learned much more about DNA today, enough to realize that it is basically a code. It can be changed by energy ... some forms of light can produce mutations. It seems to me--but I have never heard anyone say this, so take this comment with a grain of salt :) --that the Holy Spirit used the energy of God to produce the DNA of Jesus.
So it seems possible to me that fallen angels can produce Nephilim offspring without having intercourse with human women.
Some people think that there are both male and female angels. If this were true, then human women would have Nephilim offspring BUT so would female angels. I have never heard anyone suggest credibly that Nephilim are produced by human males and female angels. So, in my opinion, there are not any female angels. The Bible says only that angels had sex with females on earth and produced Nephilim offspring.
Jesus, formed by the Holy Spirit and a woman's DNA, will rule the earth eventually. Satan tries to duplicate everything God does. He is trying to produce a male heir, the AntiChrist, who will rule the earth. This AntiChrist will be a Nephilim. It will have his DNA and the DNA of a woman. Women who are victims of SRA and are raped by Satan have produced children. There is always one of these Nephilim ready to take over as AntiChrist. Since Satan does not know when the opportunity will come, he has always had someone ready.
Most so-called "alien abductions" involve the removal of eggs and sperm from the humans. At first, many of these women became pregnant, had another abduction experience between 3 and 5 months of gestation, and had their babies removed. When these women describe labs in which there are independent chambers filled with fetuses, they are not describing science fiction. The point is that Nephilim can be created both by angelic/human intercourse and in a lab. We already know that human offspring can be created in either procedure. IVF is the same procedure as some of these women have seen in the labs to which they were taken in alien abductions. Note: the alien abduction experience is very different from the process by which the fallen angels in Gen 6:4 took the human women as wives and had children by them. This was a physical experience.
L A Marzulli feels that the cattle mutilation phenomenon is simply a procedure to obtain uteruses for these Nephilim. If that seems a bit weird, there was a woman who had a hysterectomy who gave birth to a baby without the protection of a uterus. This was documented by (I think) the NY Times. I no longer have the reference but we did use this article in Science classes. The fertilized egg implanted in the tissue of what was called a "stump" remaining after the hysterectomy. The baby was enclosed in and protected by the amniotic sac. Doctors said that, without the protection of the muscles of the uterus, any minor problem could have broken the sac and the baby would have died. In these labs, there would not be a need for a uterus if the amniotic sac floated in an immovable chamber of water. Does this sound like science fiction? Or too close to reality? Time will tell.
Does this seem unbelievable? In some ways. But from the beginning of life on earth, Satan has tried to corrupt the human genome (I have many reviews of reputable books on this topic. Douglas Hamp's is one of the most interesting. https://www.douglashamp.com/how-the-m...). If we read Genesis carefully, we will realize that Satan and Eve both have seed on the earth. Cain was the offspring of Satan and Eve; Abel was the offspring of Adam and Eve. "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." Gen 3:15 I have reviewed books on this topic also. According to this Scripture, Satan has the same kind of seed on earth as Eve does ... physical children. Satan was battling God from the creation of Adam and Eve to be in control, with His throne above God. If God was going to produce a male heir on earth, so was Satan.
There are many books which explain the genetics of angelic/human reproduction, the Nephilim, and SRA. I have written reviews of them so I will not list them here.
Remember how the men of Sodom wanted to have sex with the angels who came to warn Lot of the destruction of Sodom. Lot knew that having sex with angels was forbidden by God and he offered his daughter to the men instead. This may seem to be appalling behavior. Lot knew that the men would overpower him and he could not stop the sexual attack. He also knew that having sex with angels had greater consequences from God than rape of a human woman.
Having sex with fallen angels was actually a common experience in Sodom. This is the reason that Sodom was destroyed. The only sin that I can find in the Bible where God says to destroy an entire city with no survivors, including animals, is genetic manipulation. That is why the "ites" were wiped out by the Hebrews in the Promised Land. They were Nephilim. Nephilim were abnormally huge; the spies said they were grasshoppers in comparison to the size of the people whom God said to destroy. If they had been allowed to live and intermarry with humans, they would have corrupted the human genome to the state where humans could not enter Heaven. They would no longer physically be counted as human.
Satan tries to duplicate everything that God does.
If we are going to deny the ability of fallen angels to have sex with humans and produce offspring, then we have to deny the ability of the Holy Spirit to combine heavenly and earthly DNA to produce Jesus.
It is logical to assume that fallen angels, like the angels in Heaven, can also take on human appearance. They can deceive women, have sexual encounters with them, and produce offspring. This has become a common theme in secular music with popular singers writing songs expressing their wish to have sex with Satan, the ultimate fallen angel, and have his baby.
Whether you believe that these alien encounters are fallen angel/human hybrids or not, you can still test their source to see if they are from God. If they are not from God, they are to be dealt with in the standard method of dealing with anything Satanic.
Regardless of what these alien encounters are, as Christians we must remember that we are told to test the spirits to see if they are of God. This book seems to indicate that they are of a spiritual nature, but not from God.
Chuck Missler shows us the reality of these experiences and gives us the confidence to not be in fear of these experiences, any more than we would fear any other encounter with Satan. Jesus made a show of Satan openly when He went down to Hell and triumphed over Satan and all the demons through the Cross. I have had encounters with so-called "aliens" who were attempting to get to others. In an instant, with the Name of Jesus, they were gone. For me, these were not frightening experiences. And the "aliens" never returned.
Christians do not normally have experiences like this. We are not to seek them and we are definitely not to be frightened of them, or to give them undue attention. In my opinion, very few Christians have experiences with "aliens" because the aliens know that Christians have the power to stop them. I had this experience only because this "alien" was trying to get to another person. I was standing between him and the other person. He communicated with his thoughts. I "heard" him saying "I can't get past HER." I wasn't afraid of him any more than I was afraid of any demon or fallen angel that manifested in my presence. It's not me ... it's the Holy Spirit in a believer ... that dispels any fear. In fact, this was such a "non" experience that I didn't give it another thought when it was over. It was like killing a mosquito on the first slap. No big deal.
At the same time, we should not be ignorant of these experiences. Others who have gone through negative experiences like this need people with the Holy Spirit who can minister to them with truth and power.
Do not be afraid to read this book. If you read any book at all about the alien phenomenon, it probably should be this book. I have read many books along these lines, and many of them are filled with deception, error, imagination, and sadly, ineffective suggestions for dealing with the trauma of alien encounters.
Why should you read this book?
1) because it is scripturally accurate
2) because it is scientifically accurate
3) because it does not have a political agenda
4) because Missler reminds you how far above the status of Satan that you are in Christ, so that you should consider these encounters insignificant
5) and most of all, because he shows you how you can get help for friends who have had these encounters so that they are set free if they want to be. Most people who have these encounters do not consider them to be pleasant and do not wish to have them repeated.
6) and because it fits into Biblical prophecy in a startling way. The Bible says that there will be an Endtime deception so effective that, if it were possible, it would deceive even the elect. Missler believes that these alien encounters are part of the Endtime deception.
It is hard to recommend one of Chuck Missler's books without recommending all of them. This is a topic that cannot be covered in one book.
I would recommend the videos on Youtube first. They include Powerpoint presentations (yes, I know ... aaarrrghhh ... not another Powerpoint presentation) but that means that you can take notes and check all the Scriptures. Chuck Missler does not want you to believe anything that he says until you check it out with the Bible. He does not have his own agenda.
He is a very bold person. Can you imagine what a scientist of his reputation went through when he decided to teach about something that most scientists would scoff at? He had nothing to gain and a lot to lose in this life by taking this position.
He researched this diligently, carefully and thoroughly (and without having an encounter like this himself). However, he has had encounters with a Nephilim working at a military base. The non-human features of this Nephilim were barely discernible to him; the Nephilim worked at the base without most people realizing he was a Nephilim. There is a difference between Nephilim and these alien encounters, especially of alien abduction. From the experience of those who claim to be abducted, alien abduction is done by aliens who resemble the images we see of pictures from Roswell; in these encounters, the "surgeries" are done by a team of Nephilim, many of whom look almost human.
Regardless of the appearance of these individuals, if you test the spirits, as the Bible instructs, you will know that they are not from God. These must leave as quickly as demons when you command them to in the Name of Jesus. Of course, you must be living a life of obedience and love in order to have this degree of power or you will become like the sons of Sceva. These creatures are not demons but they have the same source, Satan, and they do not belong in the Kingdom of God. We should not be afraid of them. We should exercise our authority over them.
When I had those 2 encounters, I was with another strong believer. I heard the "alien" say "I can't get past him." (my son, a strong believer). The next night, when he returned, I heard him say "I can't get past her." (me) It was not a battle. The battle was already won. They never returned to get the man whom they had come for. But do not minimize these experiences. Without the power of the Blood of Jesus and His Name, these encounters could have turned out differently.
In case this sounds really weird to you, listen to Norvel Hayes' testimony of how demons were talking outside his window, discussing how they were not going to enter, even though Satan had told them to, because the last time, Norvel Hayes had given them a "whipping" that they didn't want repeated. The battle was already won before it began.
The world does not deny the reality of the supernatural but the Christian church has for too long ignored these aspects of the supernatural. Yet we are given the gift of discerning of spirits when we receive the Holy Spirit. We simply need to be willing to use it. This allows us to see into the spirit realm both of angelic/Heavenly experiences and into the Satanic kingdom when there is something that God wants us to see and do something about.
These experiences never come from God without being accompanied by the power to deal with them. As a result, they are not fearsome experiences.
More than 10% of the US population claims to have had alien encounters. Universities have set up departments in order to study how to help those who are suffering trauma from these experiences. But most of the church buries its head in the sand and mocks those who have had these experiences. Instead, the church should be considering these experiences as opportunities to demonstrate the power of God and set people free. Universities operating at the mental level do not have the expertise to deal with the spiritual trauma of these abduction experiences. Who should be more available to minister to these people than Christians who know the power of the Holy Spirit?
If you are interested in people who minister in SRA, alien abduction and other similar experiences, I do recommend that you look at some of the resources of Russ Dizdar, Daniel Duval, Doug Riggs and perhaps Bill Schnoebelen. However, these are for mature Christians who are experienced in dealing with evil supernatural entities. I would prayerfully consider whether God wanted me to read these books. It would be better to learn first from someone like L A Marzulli whose experiences are broader but not quite as deep. L A Marzulli has spoken well of Russ Dizdar.
Simply suggestions. We are moving into a time where prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. Decades ago, I realized that the great deception in which even the elect could be deceived was going to involve fallen angels and a so-called UFO invasion. Even US Presidents talked about this. So did Canada's Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer. The Church needs to know the truth behind UFO's.
BTW, some UFO's are secret military aircraft which the governments are more than glad to have the public think they are alien technology. This was discussed in scientific journals subscribed to by the Science department in our local secondary school. That is not science fiction. Decades ago, if you even suggested that you had seen a UFO, you were mocked.
But some UFO's are spiritual, just like the chariot that took Elijah away. They can materialize and dematerialize just like fallen angels and demons.
Some are mechanical craft but use physics in ways that we are not yet using and materials that we do not have on earth. These are "manned" by supernatural creatures which are commonly referred to as aliens, but are actually Satan's creations from the second Heaven, not from outer space or another planet. These are like the craft at Roswell. Chuck Missler has given many talks about Roswell. As a scientist who had "Above Top Secret" contracts with the US military, he had much experience with the operations of secrecy in the govt. He asks why, if Roswell involved a weather balloon, is all information about Roswell still "Above Top Secret" and not available to the public? Good question...

In case this sounds really weird to you, listen to Norvel Hayes' testimony of how demons were talking outside his window, discussing how they were not going to enter, even though Satan had told them to, because the last time, Norvel Hayes had given them a "whipping" that they didn't want repeated. The battle was already won before it began.
The world does not deny the reality of the supernatural but the Christian church has for too long ignored these aspects of the supernatural. Yet we are given the gift of discerning of spirits when we receive the Holy Spirit. We simply need to be willing to use it. This allows us to see into the spirit realm both of angelic/Heavenly experiences and into the Satanic kingdom when there is something that God wants us to see and do something about.
These experiences never come from God without being accompanied by the power to deal with them. As a result, they are not fearsome experiences.
More than 10% of the US population claims to have had alien encounters. Universities have set up departments in order to study how to help those who are suffering trauma from these experiences. But most of the church buries its head in the sand and mocks those who have had these experiences. Instead, the church should be considering these experiences as opportunities to demonstrate the power of God and set people free. Universities operating at the mental level do not have the expertise to deal with the spiritual trauma of these abduction experiences. Who should be more available to minister to these people than Christians who know the power of the Holy Spirit?
If you are interested in people who minister in SRA, alien abduction and other similar experiences, I do recommend that you look at some of the resources of Russ Dizdar, Daniel Duval, Doug Riggs and perhaps Bill Schnoebelen. However, these are for mature Christians who are experienced in dealing with evil supernatural entities. I would prayerfully consider whether God wanted me to read these books. It would be better to learn first from someone like L A Marzulli whose experiences are broader but not quite as deep. L A Marzulli has spoken well of Russ Dizdar.
Simply suggestions. We are moving into a time where prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. Decades ago, I realized that the great deception in which even the elect could be deceived was going to involve fallen angels and a so-called UFO invasion. Even US Presidents talked about this. So did Canada's Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer. The Church needs to know the truth behind UFO's.
BTW, some UFO's are secret military aircraft which the governments are more than glad to have the public think they are alien technology. This was discussed in scientific journals subscribed to by the Science department in our local secondary school. That is not science fiction. Decades ago, if you even suggested that you had seen a UFO, you were mocked.
But some UFO's are spiritual, just like the chariot that took Elijah away. They can materialize and dematerialize just like fallen angels and demons.
Some are mechanical craft but use physics in ways that we are not yet using and materials that we do not have on earth. These are "manned" by supernatural creatures which are commonly referred to as aliens, but are actually Satan's creations from the second Heaven, not from outer space or another planet. These are like the craft at Roswell. Chuck Missler has given many talks about Roswell. As a scientist who had "Above Top Secret" contracts with the US military, he had much experience with the operations of secrecy in the govt. He asks why, if Roswell involved a weather balloon, is all information about Roswell still "Above Top Secret" and not available to the public? Good question...

The book explores the compelling idea that "aliens" are, in fact, fallen-angels.
As a thesis it is good and has potential to explain the undeniable growing UFO phenomenon and all the related abduction/experimentation testemonies. I bought the book because I adhere to the author's proposal and wanted to see some good arguments supporting or denying it. You will find some in the book, but not in a satisfying form.
The biggest flaw to me is how the book progresses. Sometimes it felt like going back and forth. Aside from that, I enjoyed it.
In the end the author focuses a bit on the UFO relation to escathology. He lost me there, though I must confess his view is not impossible.

This is one of those books that revealed my preconcieved notions on the subject as I began. I would not have readily admitted to anyone that I was reading it because people who believe in UFOs are kooky right? Boy was I in for a shock! The only reason I even considered reading it was because I highly respect the author and know he is not one to write anything without have done an exhorbitant amount of research on the subject. I now can easily admit to having read this book and highly recommend it. Eye-opening! The first 1/2 to 2/3 of the book deals wih the massive amounts of undeniable evidence for what we currently call 'aliens'; recent evidence as well as that dug up from the past. The rest of the book is a Biblical look at what these beings are. The Scripture he shares is amazing - how did I not notice these verses before?

This is an excellent book by Chuck Missler - pairing with Eastman - which really sets the plane straight regarding the alien phenomenon. Although this book is a little older, and slightly out of date with some of the more recent events (a great documentary that should be watched is Fallen Angels and the NWO, free on YouTube), it still does an excellent job at explaining the pheonomona, citing it, and showing how it fits in with a biblical worldview, namely, they are demons. Missler has been largely influential on my Christian walk, as his expository audio tapes have served me well through numerous books of the Bible. I owe a great deal to this faithful servant of God - a great read.

Well my life will never be the same after this. 🤯
The Bible is so unbelievably complex. We have the smallest sliver of what’s really going on in scriptures. Don’t get me wrong, God uses that and speaks through all scriptures, complex or simple. But WOW Chuck is an incredibly knowledgeable biblical scholar who really knows his stuff. His work reminds me a lot of Michael Heiser’s work.
The more you learn about the Bible, the more you learn how important knowing the original text, translations and other mentions of certain words. English language is just too simple to fully grasp what God is saying.
All that to say, He has done extensive research in the Bible and from other religions on the unseen realm, specifically angelic beings and their relationship to ‘alien’ encounters.
This is a must read!!!! I cannot even express how much I learned from this. If you want to know more about the end times, angels. demons, the anti Christ, the trinity, etc. than this is your book!!!!
Spoiler alert: aliens are 1000% demons

This book is an informed analysis having expertise connected to working with the subjects discussed. Chuck Missler graduated from the United States Naval Academy, other achievements are as follows. Branch Chief of the Department of Guided Missiles, Senior Analyst with projects for the intelligence community and Department of Defense, various technologies, and in aerospace with much more. Having a working knowledge of Quantum physics and astrophysics, the subject placement combined many areas of study. Groups of different perspectives; have reported incidents over extensive time periods, the effects resembling lower wavelength frequencies of EMF and ELF. (EMF and ELF information is available through an internet search for those interested.) Included is visual, and a variety of reports in daily life. Whether UFO's are seen or not, as one method of detection indicates, radar doesn't lie. Importantly security in the Cosmos, is dependent on individual ability to perceive every day surroundings. Qualifiers of the verified research topics, involved the numerous sources and individuals available. I own a copy of this book. I highly recommend this book.

This is one of those areas where Missler crosses into some speculative ideas, and his work here is controversial. Sadly, a lot of people will write him off as a crackpot because he dares to consider some ideas that are beyond the pale. But if you can take what he says with a grain of salt (as he himself advises at the beginning of most of his teaching materials), it can be fun to contemplate the theories he tosses around. Nobody should be dogmatic about ideas like this, but neither should we close our minds. One day, if the Bible is true, we're going to come nose to nose with the supernatural, and it's going to be interesting to see how the modern mind decides to explain the unexplainable.

A thought-provoking book positing a new theory to explain alien encounters and abductions. The spiritual angle detailed in this volume should not be discounted.
February 16, 2024
I can’t believe this was written in 1997 because it feels so current! Just a few weeks ago, a congresswoman from FL reported on an intelligence briefing regarding “inter-dimensional beings”. Just 75 years ago the term UFO wasn’t part of our vocabulary, but is it possible that the normalization of alien encounters is setting up for the world for end time events?? Could aliens be another unholy hybrid race between the “sons of god” and the “daughters of men” as in the days of Noah? Missler makes a strong case that the UFO phenomenon is real, abductions are demonic in nature, and aliens connect closely to the “sons of god” in Genesis 6. Could the rapture of the church be explained by a mass abduction to cleanse the planet? This book is packed full of scripture from Daniel to Revelation, and will be a good reference book for years to come. You need to at least be familiar with these claims to deal Biblically with the events of the future.

SOME ORIGINAL INTERPRETATIONS OF UFOS THROUGH THE BIBLE
Charles (‘Chuck ‘) Missler (1934-2018) and coauthor Mark Eastman wrote in the first chapter of this 1997 book, “for more than five decades government and civilian researchers have attempted to unravel the mystery of the UFOs. Yet, there is nothing close to a consensus among those who have seriously examined the nature and history of the phenomenon. To the skeptics the phenomenon is a product of mass mystery or a shared visual hallucination … To others the UFO phenomenon is the harbinger of a New Age of spiritual awakening and evolution accomplished with the assistance of our highly advanced space brothers. Still others believe the UFO phenomenon represents the return of god’s angels… who today are returning to herald the dawning of a new millennium and the arrival of the age of Apocalypse.
“If these things are real, we believe that fact will head to the biggest challenge ever faced by mankind. If these things are not real, they bear evidence of a gigantic delusion---one that is being orchestrated with a political end in sight…. There is increasing evidence that what lies behind these strange events will soon affect every living person on this planet. Who are these extraterrestrials?... What is their agenda? Whatever the case, one thing is clear: the appearance of unidentified flying objects is an ancient phenomenon which has perplexed---even harassed---mankind from the beginning of written history.” (Pg. 31-32)
They note, “While the evidence examined in this chapter seems to confirm the antiquity of unusual aerial phenomenon and visitations by humanoid entities, their origin remains a topic of great controversy, even among experienced UFO investigators. The common view is that they are extraterrestrial visitors from another star system. However, the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) has been seriously challenged in recent years by a number of prominent UFO researchers. Well-documented accounts of UFOs that change shape, dematerialize, and defy the laws of physics have challenged the extraterrestrial hypothesis and caused many researchers to speculate that UFOs and their occupants may not be extraterrestrial, but extradimensional beings from beyond the four dimensions of our space-time domain!” (Pg. 52)
They admit “What really occurred at Roswell remains a mystery. The predictable prejudice against and extraterrestrial incident, along with the fear of ridicule, has been further compounded by frauds, disinformation, and hoaxes... Wading through the countless documentaries, interviews, etc., and allowing for emotions, exploitations, disinformation---much of it deliberate by the U.S. Government---one can clearly conclude there was, indeed, a cover-up of some kind. But why?” (Pg. 58)
They note, “The evidence… seems to confirm that UFOs are physical objects. However, additional data suggests that under certain circumstances this may not be the case. For example, UFOs have been tracked on radar traveling at over 25,00 miles per hour within our atmosphere. Yet, unlike physical objects, they do not cause sonic booms and they do not burn up. They have been known to make right-angle turns at over 15,000 miles per hour, something no physical object could endure. And despite visual confirmation, UFOs often fail to show up on photographic film or radar devices.” (Pg. 67)
They summarize, “Despite the many spurious or doubtful reports, hoaxes, disinformation, etc., there are too many competent, professionally trained observers on record to dismiss… There is increasing evidence that there ARE sentient beings interacting with our space-time and that they DO have an agenda! We appear to be the subjects of a major cosmic deception.” (Pg. 96)
They acknowledge, “We take a very skeptical view on the question of alien abductions. Despite population surveys which indicate that as many as 1-3 percent of the population may have had an abduction experience, the hard evidence for such accounts is lacking. Nevertheless, we do believe that to appreciate the nature of the UFO phenomenon, an examination of the history and nature of these alleged abductions is very important.” (Pg. 100-101)
They note, “Insertion of ‘alien implants’ within the body of the abductees is frequently alleged… However, detailed analyses of alleged alien implants, which have been surgically removed, have failed to prove an alien origin of the materials found within the implants.” (Pg. 107)
They state, “there appear to be exceptions in which ostensible Christians have been abducted, such as in the Andreasson Affair. However, it also appears that in these cases an invitation was ACCEPTED by the abductee… Abductee surveys have revealed that the overwhelming majority of abductees have shown an interest in paranormal activities, Eastern religions, and New Age world-view. A large percentage of abductees have also reported a history of involvement with Ouija boards, astrology, witchcraft, astral project… and the like. Still others simply agreed to go along with their abductors with approached.” (Pg. 109)
They record, “skeptics point out that the lack of independent witnesses to alleged abduction events is a major deficiency of the abduction phenomenon. Considering the dramatic descriptions of alien craft nearby, abductees being floated out of windows, passed through walls, etc., skeptics argue that one would expect many of these encounters to have been witnessed by neighbors or passers by.” (Pg. 114)
They say of the Nephilim in Genesis 6:1-4, “This strange passage describes the bizarre circumstances that led to the cataclysmic disaster of the famous Flood of Noah… The Biblical passage refers to SUPERNATURAL BEINGS intruding upon the planet Earth… The ‘daughters of men’ … refers to the natural female descendants of mankind… The errant supernatural ‘alien’ beings apparently mated with human women and produced unnatural, SUPERHUMAN offspring!... Apparently these unnatural offspring, the Nephilim were monstrous and they have been memorialized in the legends and myths of every ancient culture on the planet Earth.” (Pg. 205-206)
They continue, “The Nephilim, the unnatural offspring, are not eligible for resurrection. The bodies of the Nephilim, of course, were drowned in the Flood. What happened to their spirits? Could they be the demons of the New Testament? These may well have continued through the ‘daemones incubi’ of the Middle Ages and may be recurring through the UFOs of today.” (Pg. 213) Later, they add, “In the Bible we never read of demons prior to the Flood… the fathers of the Nephilim are the Watchers, a specific group of angels (of the ‘sons of God’) who lusted after the daughters of men and took then as wives (Gen 6:1-5). After the Nephilim died, it seems they became demons who led astray, harassed, oppressed, corrupted, contended with, and bruised those upon earth.” (Pg. 242) They also add, “If the ancient translators’ understanding of the Hebrew text of Isaiah is correct, then it seems to follow that the Nephilim will be returning in the last days of planet Earth and the city of Babylon will become the habitation of ‘monsters, devils and satyrs!’” (Pg. 283)
They argue, “the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is our ‘kinsman redeemer.’ Unless these aliens are our kinsmen (i.e., fully human beings), then the substitutionary, sacrificial, atoning death of Jjesus Christ on the cross is not (as far as we know) efficacious in blotting out the sin of aliens. Some New Age authors suggest that Jesus died many times on many different planets for the sins of God’s alien ‘children.’ However, the Bible states that Jesus died once and rose only once from the dead.” (Pg. 238)
They suggest, “There are some that view Jesus as a kind of ‘Super Angel’ or hyperdimensional ‘Extraterrestrial.’ Clearly, he did demonstrate many hyperdimensional capabilities. His ability to materialize and dematerialize, while yet being tangible, within a closed room, indicates that he possessed a dimensionality which is independent of the limitations of our three-dimensional spatial ‘reality.’ His ability to foretell the future indicates his nature is independent of our time domain… Because Jesus possesses additional dimensions (or their equivalent) or spatial reality, he is able to be at all places simultaneously.” (Pg. 308-309)
Missler argues about the MJ-12 documents, “What better way to mask the existence of ‘MJ-12’ than to reveal some imperfect documents or other deliberately flawed evidence to the UFO community, and when diligent inspection ultimately reveals their fraudulent character, the existence of the subject enterprise becomes an ‘urban legend’ and is summarily dismissed in any subsequent discussions! From Stanton Friedman’s persistent diligence, and from some other experiences that will go without mention, I personally suspect that ‘MJ-12’---and any successor organization---is, in fact, real. Furthermore, I can easily imagine… that this kind of entity could grow in power and burrow ever deeper into the federal administrative quagmires that would preclude any real accountability.” (Pg. 338)
This book will be of keen interest to Evangelical Christians studying UFOs, aliens, and possible biblical references to them.

I read this long ago (before I found Goodreads!), and was delighted by it. I had long harbored my own opinions in regards to what was behind the UFO phenomena, and found a friend at church who was the 1st person I had met who shared my views... he loaned me this book, which had informed his own beliefs.
Dr. Missler was (he passed away in 2018 at the age of 83) a brilliant aerospace engineer and entrepreneur turned Bible teacher, and this book is some of his finest work. He believes that the strange encounters reported by thousands of people are nothing new, and definitely not sourced from some highly-advanced interplanetary Alien race. Rather, he takes the view that these phenomena are inter-dimensional and ultimately spiritual in origin. I'm writing this review now because I just finished a secular and decidedly agnostic treatment of the same topic, which interestingly might lead a reader in the same direction (American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology). They would be worthwhile to read together for someone wishing to get a good handle on this material without getting too deep in the weeds.
Highly recommend!

This book is NOT about UFOs, it is a "disguised" book on a religious cult's beliefs! It is "GARBAGE!" The warp way the authors have written this book is with the deliberate attempt at confusion and mind games. The alternate reality they suggest is NOT OUR OWN! Like "Alice In Wonderland" they lead the reader down a rabbit hole in a disconnected maze with its utter nonsense penned with the dryness of a university thesis. Let me give you a few of the things they spout as their evidence: Bible passages, the TV show "X-Files", the book "Witches' Goddess", book "War of the Worlds", the Vatican, the movie "V", the movie "Star Wars", shamanism, the Roman Empire, "James Bond" movies..... If you look through the index, all the above mentioned can be found. Would anybody seriously looking for an ADULT discussion on UFOs tell me what relevance their above evidence has to do with UFOs...AT ALL??? The flow of this book is so disjointed, the reader will shiver in dread to turning the next page. This is about the worst book I have ever read in my life!!!! STRIKE THAT! IT IS THE WORST BOOK I READ IN MY LIFE!!!

i was willing to put up with the lack of scholarship and inaccuracies. i was even willing to follow the poor logic for a bit too. then, about two thirds of the way through, the book reveals itself to be christian conspiracy/numerology bullshit, a la harold camping. this was too much. couldn't bring myself to finish it.

Very compelling evidence for the existence of non-human beings interfering with humanity for their own agenda, generally presenting themselves as benevolent and generally only abducting people involved with the new age or occult practices.
April 15, 2013
This is a great book which makes the case that UFO's are real, they are from another dimension and their pilots are not interplanetary, but spiritual beings intent on keeping the human race away from God. We are being set up for the ultimate deception.

Chuck Missler is an awesome communicator, whether in writing or in audio. This book is great, scriptural, and will really answer a lot of questions for you.

A great introduction to the idea that aliens are truly demons and the UFO phenomenon is being used to lead us into New Age religion and an anti-Christ agenda for a new world order.
July 15, 2025
Chuck Missler's Alien Encounters is a block buster of a book. Each chapter contains footnotes which make it a delight to read. The book begins with alien or UFO sighting in both the US and Mexico. Mexico City had a mass sighting during the 1990s. Missler ask the questions, who are they? Where do they come from and what is their agenda? Missler takes a time warp back into history and analysis ancient gods from another world that supposedly landed in Miso America and Egypt. Instead of calling the visitors chariots of the Gods they are chariots of the frauds. Missler changes gears and discusses UFO religions and how this new age philosophy is influenced by the occult. One of the key pillars of UFO religion is that Jesus was an alien and that Christianity gets it wrong. But UFO religions do not make sense, why would ET fly over trillions of miles just to trash Christianity and embrace the occult? Why not land on the White House lawn and give a cure for cancer? Missler believes the flying saucers and their occupants are real but there is a twist. ET is not an alien but the fallen angels that are described in the Book of Enoch. They are known as the Watchers and have intercourse with the daughters of men. In the book of Gensis, they are known as the Nephilim. Missler examines the book of Danial and Revelations to uncover the true dark agenda of Satan. Missler believes only faith in Jesus and the Bible can save us from the terrible consequences that Satan's minions will unleash. The book is well written, and I highly recommend it.

What would you do if your long-time friend or trusted family member told you they were abducted by aliens? What if this person were of sound mind, someone you’ve known your whole life, and someone you trust to tell you the absolute truth?
As a Christian, I would have assumed A) they are confused, maybe hallucinating, or B) they were deceived, likely by some type of demon.
But those are not an answer. They are guesses, and likely incorrect ones.
With stories like this becoming more common, it is Christians who must be ready to give an answer. And luckily for us, Missler shows that the answer has been right in front of us.
It is a question that has been asked and answered over and over again throughout the Old and New Testaments, and it is covered extensively in prophecy.
Who are these non-human entities, what do they want with us, and what do we do about it?
Christians are quick to dismiss fringe topics like aliens, but Missler did a fantastic job explaining why this is important—whether you believe aliens are “real” or not—and how it will come to affect us in the end times, which I believe we are living in now.
I can’t summarize in a few sentences what Missler took hundreds of pages to explain, but I urge Christians to give it a chance if this is at all interesting to them.

3.75/5
Had zero expectations going into this book, however I was pleasantly surprised with the content.
Chuck does a really great job laying a solid foundation of proven history and confirmed events before wading into the more controversial areas of this book.
In this book Chuck Missler presents a Biblical view of the UFO phenomenon, and provides his thoughts and insights as to what may be going on.
While I disagree with a few of the theological points in this book, the majority of this book is a great read if this topic interests you at all.

Blasphemy! First, the author consistently misinterprets Scripture. For example, he asserts that UFOs and aliens are Biblical. He also asserts that UFOs and aliens have a role in the end times. Second, he does not stick with the Bible alone for his misinterpretations of the Bible. Instead, he uses non-canonical sources as well as books by New Agers and UFO writers to support his views. Therefore, I cannot recommend reading this book.

Chuck is a credible, believable observer of our times. Coupled with his confidence in the Word of God as our sure connection to the spiritual realm, we would do well to give Chuck a fair hearing. Whether or not we admit the truth of all the material he presents us, we may soon see the reality of our circumstances. "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21:36 KJV).

This is a thought provoking book, with regards to the concepts on Aliens. Is it possible that the aliens encountered are really fallen angels?

A really good book that interwines with the Bible.

Missler is one of the few evangelicals willing to wade into the problem without fear of evangelical debunkers and ridicule. His conclusions are correct, in my opinion.

Aliens are not extra terrestrial! They are extra dimensional! And they are demons, simple as.

First sounded promising then devolved into a typical conspiracy laced dispensationalism.

Brilliant book
I really love this author, a blessed memory of a man. Read it straight through and was greatly influenced by his depth of knowledge and spiritual insight.
