What are we to make of the many UFO sightings that have been reported? Have aliens visited Earth? What does the Bible say about UFOs and ETs?

Star Trek, Star Wars, ET, Alien, Men in Black, Dr. Who, The X-Files, Guardians of the Galaxy. It is clear that stories of extraterrestrials have captured the imagination of Hollywood . . . and the world. According to a recent survey, more than a third of Americans believe that aliens have visited Earth.

Does the Bible talk about UFOs and ETs? Since these are modern terms, we shouldn’t be surprised that the Bible does not directly mention them. On the other hand, the Bible does give us information to help us develop a biblical response to UFOs and ETs. Ultimately, we must allow God’s Word to be our authority in every area.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars,

which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of

man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and

You have crowned him with glory and honor. Psalm 8:3–5
