What the Bible Says About Aliens Will Surprise You

In the video "What the Bible Says About Aliens Will Surprise You," Pastor Scott Thom addresses the growing fascination with UFOs and alien encounters, offering a biblical perspective on the phenomenon. He argues that rather than being interplanetary beings, the entities described in UFO sightings may be interdimensional—possibly fallen angels or demons.

Using Scripture, Thom explores how these beings align with descriptions of angels and demons in the Bible and how their deceptive messages and hostility toward Christianity point to their spiritual nature rather than extraterrestrial origins.
