    Given the massive size of the universe and the limitless creativity of God, I would say that is safe to assume that alien life forms undoubtedly exist in other parts of the cosmos. Therefore, I believe the following theological questions to be more interesting regarding this topic:
    - Do they (aliens) have a soul like ours?
    - Do they too have the original sin?
    - Are they in need of salvation as we are?
    - Could they receive the sacraments as we do?
    I have zero doubts about the existence of life in other worlds, but as a Catholic, these four are the questions that actually intrigue me from a theological perspective.

      Fascinating questions indeed. With regards to Question #2: I've often wondered what would've happened had Adam and Eve obeyed God? There's nothing in the Bible that discounts others created in His image and likeness elsewhere, we only know for certain that it happened here. Had Adam and Eve not fallen, then they would've remained in their originally intended state of communion with our Father. We don't really know what that would've entailed as time went on because it was cut short by disobedience. It's interesting to think if others elsewhere did not fall from grace as man on Earth did, they might appear to us as so advanced as to be spiritual beings not dissimilar from the angels. It's this that I think in the fallen world will keep us from ever progressing beyond a certain point. We can only "peek" out at the cosmos, relatively speaking. Someday, in our glorified bodies in Christ, I think we will be amazed and in awe of what is really going on out there. Until then, we are not ready for it.

      If aliens have a rational soul then they too are made in the image of God. I have to believe that God would be with them as well. And I have to believe that if they built spaceships to travel all the way here that they have a rational soul.

      Fr Mike makes a good point. If extraterrestrial people exist, they were made by God in His own image and likeness-they must have souls that animate their bodies and will live forever, the same as ours.
      Some of these ETs could be demons, who are beyond saving-highly likely.
      However, we must keep in mind that there is only ONE Jesus Christ, Son of God, Who created EVERYTHING! I am absolutely certain that He sacrificed Himself once for all creation, including ETs, if they exist.
      If we ever encounter an ET it is up to us faithful to evangelise them. “Baptise all the nations in the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, teaching them all that I commanded you.”

    Upon my inquiry about aliens, my priest told me, "Why not? God is great!" I interpreted, that God will reveal his creations as our understanding grows. Our ancestors, the bible authors, would be pretty confused if he revealed say, electricity and how we can harness it. But he gave us the intelligence to learn and discover his orders, formulas, or ingredients as my mother would say. It would be pretty cool if in our lifetime we could discover our "cousins" from a different planet.

      My take is church badly altered the teachings of Jesus to establish the sales of indulges and a power hungry world wide empire - slowly falling apart today…
      Jesus most probably taught enlightment like told in unaltered and hidden texts like the Gospel of Thomas found in 1945 in Egypt.
      Just read Logie 1-3.
      This would provide a very simple solution for aliens and all religions, a kind of a unifying theory. Every soul evolves over many lives ON MANY PLANETS and „Aliens“ would simply be other people, our sisters and brothers on other planets.
      And when a soul is ready to go to God for ever and rise to eternal heaven after many lives it will merge in God.
      Just like aliens, reincarnation would make God and the human journey on earth so much greater! Just imagine you already knew all the people and souls around you for 1000s of years.
      Just imagine your parents maybe already have been your childs in past lives or aunt and uncle or grandfathers or grandchildren.
      Live gets that much bigger! I accuse chirch of willingly and violently changing and altering the words of Jesus to establish a power hungry empire dominating half the planet.
      Its not about believing in Jesus then, it‘s about following him, living the myth, take him as role model, resurect yourself from the dead and find enlightment.
      Go to the inner desert and pray and meditate and walk the spiritual live like Jesus.
      To me he is a rolemodel how to leave the dark cave (compare platon cave teaching if you know or the Matrix movie) and find true light, enlightment outside.
      I believe church lied to us. Jesus DID NOT go the way for us - but BEFORE us to follow him. Him leaving the cave is no value to us, if we do not stand up for our selves and follow him.
      Church converted a teacher to a auto savior. How sad. And Jesus is still waiting that we follow him. But we keep lying in the dark and tell him: You already walked the way for us.
      WE must walk the spiritual way. If you understand this you do not care about aliens. They simply walk their way to heaven/enlightment.

      Is there an ice wall, in place of what we’ve been told is “Antarctica”? If so, there could be land beyond the ice wall. The additional land might be the “planets”. The word planets originates from the word plane. Which means that the world might really be flat after all.

      Reincarnation makes much more sense. Souls moving from animals up to the human form and in the end finding enlightment like actually stated by Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas found 1945 in Egypt for example.
      Before church altered Jesus‘ teachings to establish the sales of indulges and a power hungry empire.
      Reincarnation could explain the enormous human soul explosion in the last 100 years. More souls from the animal kingdom are finally ready to change over to the human form.
      And Jesus actually teaching enlightment would unify all religions in one theory.
      And it would be totally fine with aliens. They reincarnate, too, until the find eternal enlightment in heaven. Yes it‘s a shock when you find out church changed all this in the Binle.

      @@hellerart there was a lot you said there, and it was a mix small truths with big (I am assuming) unintentional lies. The Gnostics were a groups of pagans that survived by latching themselves onto other belief systems.They were not organized in their beliefs, and each one of those beliefs can be linked to a specific person. Like parasites, they attached to other pagan religions, Judaism, and then later Christianity.
      While Gnostics were an annoyance to the Apostles (John seems to emphasize, in certain parts, Jesus having a material form because of this), their writings (which were written in an attempt to legitimatize themselves) came about around the second century. The actual Gospels were obviously written in the first.
      The primary lie (believed myth?) is that you stated that the Church changed teachings because of the Empire and hunger for power. The Church was persecuted by the Roman Empire (to lesser and greater degrees) until the Edict of Milan, in AD 313. The Gnostic writings were never accepted by the Church, from the moment they were "penned." This was, again, in the second century.
      One of the ways that the apostles, and their successors, the Early Fathers, combatted the Gnostics was that they were able to link their teachings and writings from one Bishop, to their predecessor, all the way back to Jesus and the Apostles (due to Apostolic Succession). They were also able to link the Gnostic writings to their authors, and the specific type of Gnosticism they practiced (there were many). The man who led the group who wrote the Gospel of Thomas believed much differently than the man who wrote the Gospel of Judas, for example.
      So no, the Jews never believed in reincarnation. And so no, the original Christians never believed in it either.
      The belief requires that some sort of intelligence would guide its process. Otherwise, none of it makes sense logically. Energy cannot be destroyed, but it does go from complex (due to entropy) to less complex. This would lead to the opposite of an improved, more ordered, state.

    One of the early Christian folk/rock stars, Larry Norman, wrote a song called "U.F.O.", released in 1976. It's about the Lord's return. The lyrics go like this (in part):
    "And if there's life on other planets
    Then I'm sure that He must know
    And He's been there once already
    And has died to save their souls."
    Ray Bradbury, the science fiction writer, also wrote a short story in which humans discover aliens. A Catholic priest is sent as a missionary to tell them the Gospel...but when he interacts with them, he learns that they never fell from grace, so they had no idea what he was talking about. They knew God and it had never occurred to them to disobey Him. They never sinned, so their contact with humans was also their first knowledge that anything like sin even exists. They were completely traumatized by it, as you can imagine! I think this story was either part of "The Illustrated Man" anthology of short stories, or perhaps it was in "The Martian Chronicles"...can't remember which.

    One thing I've thought about at times, and speculated on: What if beings on other world's didn't fall like we did on Earth? Would they be so advanced as to be indistinguishable from angels? They may very well be. However, I don't know to what degree (if at all) God would allow them to interact with us at this point in time. I think the fallen world we currently occupy is and will always be incapable of advancing beyond a certain point, to a point where interstellar and even inter-dimensional travel through space and time is possible. We are kept from knowing the full mysteries of the cosmos because the vast spiritual and heavenly knowledge is beyond temporal, natural world comprehension. These dying bodies that are gone in a relative instant due to the sinful nature we inherited from Adam can only be reborn in Christ. When we inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, we will be in glorified bodies with our Lord. Then the things I'm speculating about here will seem incomprehensibly limited in scope, imagination, and vision. For now, the Bible, God's revelation to man on THIS planet is all that we know, and it is sufficient for our own salvation and deliverance into the inheritance that comes through Christ Jesus.

      That is absolutely correct about the entire universe being in the fall-it's the time and space of creation. I'm glad the church is starting to talk about aliens because this is the area that will deceive the masses. If "alien" contact comes to us, it will actually be the fallen angels/demons disguised as beings of light aka aliens that will bring a false sense of hope and peace. They will know Scripture and use it to trick those without wisdom and discernment (like satan tried to do with Jesus in the desert). It will be like in Genesis 6 when the fallen angels came and laid with the daughters of men, which brought the nephilim. It's another reason why the Bible tells us the final end days will be like the days of Noah. The church has done poorly for us to recognize these deceptions imo.

      I think that the vast incomprehensible distances between stars is by design. We in a fallen state are not meant for what is beyond yet. The fact that we hate our neighbor and love ourselves means we are no where near ready for the revelation of what is "out there". And the fact is, in this fallen state we never will be. God has given us brains to advance and take a "peek" out into the cosmos- literally a glance into our backyard- and that's about it. We will reach the boundary of the knowable in both philosophy and science while in this fallen world. My thoughts are that Interstellar and inter-dimensional travel can only be possible once we are in our glorified bodies with Christ. All the mysteries of space and the universe are shrouded by our separation from God. But thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that condition will not remain for those who believe in and trust in Him.

      Here's the bible prophecy that nobody will teach,Daniel 11:36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
      Look at this carefully. The "king"is the Antichrist.This prophecy is about the last kingdom on Earth,before Jesus comes. Who is the second figure here? An "unkown"god,a god of fortresses (forces),a "FOREIGN"god! That word in the Hebrew is alien! This is a fallen angel. Who empowers the Antichrist and is able to subdue the mightiest weapons of war on the Earth. Bible prophecy must harmonize. These two figures must be the two "beast"of Rev.13,and 17.See that?
      If you've studied and researches the U.S. military's encounter's with UFO's,you'd know these so called aliens can take over our most sophisticated defense systems,and the computers that control them. This "foreign god" can subdue or attack the mightiest fortresses on the Earth. So an "alien" is going to empower the Antichrist and rule in this "beast gov't" coming soon.But this really isn't an alien. It's a fallen angel taking on the form of one.
      Rev.13:13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. It's this "foreign god",the second beast,that makes everyone take the mark,and worship the first beast.
      Daniel 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
      Now Chuck Missler did teach on this,so I have to give him the credit due. Notice "they"will mingle with the seed of men"? Who are they? Everyone in this last kingdom of the Antichrist? Or just the beast and the rules? Who knows for sure. BUT,"THEY" are not of the "seed of men"! Get it?
      "They"are not completely human. Why do you think they're referred to as "beast" in Revelation?
      Now do the research and see what's in this mRna nanotechnology,that changes our human DNA. This is what they put in the vaccine that everyone was compelled to take!
      Another interesting thing in the Hebrew manuscript of Daniel 2 is the term "ceramic clay". Or "potters clay". This isn't regular clay. What is ceramic or potters clay? It has sand in it. What is sand? Silica. Where we get silicon from. Microchips are made of silicon and metal. Now remember,it's this "foreign god",a so called alien that's really a fallen angel,that forces everyone to worship "the image of the (first)beast,and forces the "mark of the beast"on everyone.
      The great alien deception is already being promoted. Even on the mainstream news now,check the news out right now! These aren't aliens.Their fallen angels and demons who can shapeshift. And the "nephilim",angel/human hybrids,are already here on the Earth. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.See "and also afterwards". They survived the flood of Noah. Now do the research and see what the women who were abducted by aliens claim. And the hybrid babies they were impregnated with and gave birth to. "They will mingle themselves with the seed of men"?!!!

      Now dare to add reincarnation to the trunk and the game even gets more wonderful. This way you could explain the explosion of human souls the last view 100 years. Like hors, dog, cat, pig, cow souls alteady used to humans moving over the next birth and becoming human.
      Thats why you could consider living vegetarian, not to eat brother souls.
      Long story short: i thonk power hungry at times very evil church altered a lot in the Bible - the Gospel of Thomas for example burried and hidden survived in its original form and there you still have it: Enlightment! Taught by Jesus. It‘s not about believe but about realizing and knowledge if you read Logie 1-3.
      In a later part Jesus says: „You love your current form/image. But how much will you endure when your former/ earlier images/forms surface?“
      That‘s a known phenomen with other spiritual teachers, when their pupiles grow up and get wise, they slowly start to remeber former birthes - past lives.
      It looks like Jesus is teaching exactly this here.
      Him telling : „I an the father are one“ is actually a discription for enlightment - so Jesus was enlightened.
      Who tells we should only „believe“ and not follow him? Gospel of Thomas clearly wants us to follow and find unity in God for ourselfves. I think thats what Jesus taught.
      So yes, Chirch is against Jesus in my opinion or at least misunderstands him.

    I've got a bit I can say about...some? Form of...something? That I was convinced, and still have not much reason to be convinced otherwise, is/was an experience with a being from outside of this planet.
    It happened when I was pretty young, probably 8 or 9. I'll go into deeper details if someone asks, but long story short, I knew my thoughts were being heard by something, I asked if it would show that it heard me, and then it was like I saw a star come from another star. It put on a beautiful display, for me, my mother, and my grandmother, and then was gone practically in an instant. It left a very lasting impression on me. It completely had my attention, for years and years. I was obsessed, and devastated honestly, that it never came back, never spoke back, only dazzled me and left. Literally 20 years passed, roughly.
    Shortly after I came to know God, or rather, realized I was known by GOD, REAL God, and not this mysterious being or beings that basically swindled me as a kid, I prayed one night to God about what I had seen as a kid. Begged Him to let me know what it was, and if it was of Him or not. That night I had a very short dream.
    In the dream there was a human (looking) silhouette. It had medium length hair, there was wind blowing, it's hair was moving, I saw no features of it but what looked like angel wings, and it's hair. And there was an EXTREMELY bright light behind it, making it to where, again, all I could see was the silhouette of the being, and the light that was passing through it's angelic looking wings. And I was terrified. I didn't want to speak. And then I woke up just as I spoke out, saying "God please help us."
    The next day I started looking through this Bible trivia book I'd just gotten the day before. First question that I looked at was "What does Lucifer disguise himself as in the current age?" And of course, the answer is "an angel of light."
    Because of this, I'm almost certain that the beings that meddle here are likely fallen angels, or their offspring, or something along those lines. There's a bit more to support my theory, I'd like to talk about it more, but I've already said a lot.
    Assuming anyone reads this, thank you for your time, God bless you! Please, feel free and even encouraged to ask questions, and thank you Fr. Mike for this video on the subject!!!

We have a much different take on the alien UFO phenomenon. On youtube search for LA marzulli or Timothy Alberino. Watch a few of their videos That will explain the phenomenon a lot more than I can.

    Fr. Mike, .....your logic is spot on! Right now, our focus needs to be on fixing what is wrong within the hearts of humankind. Our Planet is quarantined because earth is considered too violent as a whole. We are considered to be a culture of death! Exploring other worlds will not be allowed unless we advance as a human race and become a people of peace. In other words, the people of this planet "need to grow up"! Until and unless that change in our attitudes toward one another happens, we will be kept in isolation. We are being allowed to decide for ourselves which we choose, chronic death and destruction, or helping each other, loving each other, praying for each other, i.e., becoming a race of peace. The wars need to stop, the bombs need to stop, the drugs need to stop, the euthanasia needs to stop, the abortions need to stop, robbery needs to stop, etc., etc., etc. Death and Violence Need to Stop! Otherwise our planet may be purged as in the days of Noah. The decision is ours. God Bless, - ACD

    I have to disagree on this one. As a former New Ager, one of my areas of interest was ufology. After reading tons of material on UFOs, aliens, alien encounters, abductions, etc., I have to concur with big UFO names like J. Allen Haynek and Jacques Vallee who, when they were tasked to look into the phenomenon, at first were total skeptics and didn't even believe in UFOs, but after thorough analysis came to the conclusion that aliens aren't extraterrestrials from another planet like we assume, but that they are demons from another dimension.
    Case in point: There are multiple testimonies from abductees who say that they were able to stop an abduction in progress by calling on the name of Jesus Christ. Ask yourself: Why would flesh-and-blood aliens care about the name of Jesus? They should be able to just laugh it off... "those silly humans, thinking they can stop us with that hocus-pocus." But no, reportedly those entities flee as soon as you pray to Jesus to save you. Food for thought.
    I think part of the coming Great Deception will be a public landing of "friendly space brothers" of the Galactic Federation who will declare that they're the "ancient gods" who created us and have now returned to bring world peace and amazing alien technology, at the helm their commander Lord Jesus Sananda (I'm not making this up, BTW, these are channeled entities, and we know what those are). Beware-pray for discernment or you too will be deceived by these satanic schemes.

      ​Yes, we must get right with Jesus!
      As for a secret rapture before the Last Day, that's a theology that was made up in the 19th century. The orthodox Christian belief is what St. Paul teaches in 1 Thessalonians, that the Lord Jesus will return only once, at His Parousia (Second Coming) on the Last Day at the end of the world, and this is when all believers still alive on earth will be "caught up" (a.k.a. "raptured").
      "For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall *not precede* those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And *the dead in Christ will rise first*; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord."

If God went ahead and created other human-like species he would have to subject them to humanity's superiority, since God himself is now a human as well in the person of Jesus Christ. And I cannot imagine that God would incarnate himself again for a different species to be saved, so they would be saved by the Godman just like us.

      However, we must keep in mind that there is only ONE Jesus Christ, Son of God, Who created EVERYTHING! I am absolutely certain that He sacrificed Himself once for all creation, including ETs, if they exist.
      If we ever encounter an ET it is up to us faithful to evangelise them. “Baptise all the nations in the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, teaching them all that I commanded you.”

      My brother, sister and some of their friends all had an encounter while outside. They were between the ages of 5 and 10. My sister came running home in a panic, she drew a picture of the thing hovering above them. My brother still Refuses to talk about it.. and that was over 50 years ago. They were EVIL beings.

      In my experience, I don't think the Mothership I saw was evil. It was a clear night, no clouds yet there was one cloud which was moving very peculiarly. It was dancing. I pointed this out to my friends but they were not fixated the way I was. We continued playing then suddenly both my friends screamed then ran away. I looked up and it was there. A massive pearl coloured spaceship. So big it must be a Mothership. It had windows. I wanted to see a face so that I could wave but there was none. No sound. It must have been invisible on approach. It was directly above me just watching. I ran away. My Dad was the only one that believed me. I have seen many sightings on TV but the craft I saw was so much bigger. It wasnt out to harm. It felt like it just wanted me to know of its existence. If there are harmful aliens out there, then know in your heart that there are also good ones there to protect. Our God is Great and could destroy evil in a second.

    The Church needs to be prepared for more and more strange information coming out. Fr. Mike covered it well. I really appreciate the last point. ETI can make people nuts and obsessed. This was demonstrated in the Close Encounters movie all those years ago. Something that causes that level of obsession and distraction cannot be from God or good for our salvation.

    Bless you father. The Catholic Church is rightly telling truth before the rest. This is in the book of Holy word of God. They are also benevolent and there is an alien or alternative human sentient saint. Thank you bless you .

      Please know 1 John 4:2-6 if you don't already. There will be spirits saying they are angels of light or "aliens" that will deceive the masses. They can and will use Scripture to trick us-just like satan tried to use Scripture to tempt Jesus in the desert. We need to test ALL spirits and beings to see if they declare Jesus as Lord and Savior and that He came in the flesh to save us. If they can't do that-KNOW they are against us and are part of the 1/3 fallen angels/demons that fell with satan. God bless!

      They don’t exist. God never created aliens. Their behaviour is that of the diabolic. Literally read the first chapter of Genesis.
