When I was a kid I saw something that I couldn't explain. It was at night and I was in the bathroom of my grandmother's trailer. I was on the bathroom sink digging around in the medicine cabinet when I came down off the sink and turned to my right. There, just standing there staring at me, was a being that had the appearance of your typical gray alien. I was immediately paralyzed with fear and beyond that traumatic moment I remember nothing else. That memory of the grey alien was blocked or suppressed and it only resurfaced later on. So it happened that I believed that I saw an alien and I was rather phobic about the prospect of seeing them again. Even on those documentaries they have about ufo's and aliens scared me whenever they would show a mug shot of that bug eyed terror. I'd get on the internet at night and look up all sorts of websites that discussed ufo's and aliens, always a little afraid to look out my window lest I see one of them staring back at me from the darkness. My cousin's swear up and down that my grandmother's (actually great grandmother) trailer was haunted. They had nightmares and would wake up with scratches on their arms and legs and I think one of them thought they saw a ghost, but its been so long sinced I discussed it with them that I don't remember for sure. In retrospect from where I am today, however, between what my cousins report and what I saw there seems to be a definite connection between the paranormal and encounters of the third kind. I must have been about 16 when I first had my first religious conversion. By then I think I had already been familiar with the theory that what people called aliens were actually demons, but it wasn't until my conversion that I became certain of it. After all, these things are malevolent beings that kidnap people out from their beds to perform all sorts of terrible experiments on them. They sure as hell did not come in peace, but have their own agenda. Agents of Satan. As I made it through my formative years and started to go to college I rejected my faith in favor of "science" with a mild interest in the occult. I had to reinterpret what I saw when I was a kid and what I decided on was that it was a hallucination caused by a hynagogic/hypnapompic dream state. That what "science" says about these sorts of things so that's what it must have been. As I learned more about the occult, however, I came across concepts like tulpa and egregores (thought forms produced by group minds) I began to speculate if it was possible that these beings and other paranormal phenomena were real psychic entities created by collective unconscious of the human race or some such thing. I went through most of my 20's thinking like this. It wasn't until my second conversion experience while I was in jail that I had to look back and once again reinterpret what I saw and the only thing that makes sense is that it had to have been a demon. So that's the short form of my alien story. There is more that I could write about, but its not all really organized in my head so I may add more to it later.

There is a reason that the ancients in the Bible associated spiritual beings such as angels and demons with the stars.

Demons obviously can take many forms and they're up to no good usually and are there to mess with you. This whole UFO and alien stuff sounds exactly like their kind of work.

Appearances can be deceptive.
I believe what we see is a pure mess. In the dialogue between Richard Swinburne and Herman Philipse (in Netherlands) the last one said that the whole cosmos is a scary mess for atheists. Swinburne insisted that the cosmous had its beauty.
No matter what we're the only ones who controls the process, but not everyone has the same luck.
I mean that I will see things good if I wish to; I'll see things evilish, if my imagination has been constructing it (75% unconsciously). It's even can be tested which is wow and great. Our desires appear as something expected. When we expect for good we'll get good, expecting bad often bring us bad things. Or, the more carefully, what our unconsciousness and our hidden desires are about to - so those things will appear.
