They skew more “Event Horizon” than “Close Encounters.”
So much for sci-fi-movie-informed notions that extraterrestrials are benevolent beings aiming to better humanity.
Former NASA astronaut Charles Duke claimed that UFOs are demons masquerading as angels, citing a Bible passage as evidence.
“The Lord says what we’re seeing is real, but the devil can appear as an angel of light, the Bible says,” said the 91-year-old ex-spaceman during a recent appearance on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Duke, who became the youngest person to walk on the moon at age 36 during 1972’s Apollo 16 mission, claimed that these deep space demons are “trying to turn us away from the truth” and have us pursue alleged alien entities.
“For a long time [years ago] I was praying about UFOs, and asked for a sign,” Duke said. “I felt like UFOs were demonic … but I was saying that at rotary clubs and stuff like that, and people were laughing me off the stage.”
That’s when he decided to ask the Lord for a sign: If his close friend, a businessman who never discussed such far-out topics, would broach UFOs the next morning, it would prove his theory was true.
Lo and behold, the next morning his friend allegedly said “Charlie, come on over. I want to start talking to you about UFOs,” Duke recalled.
He said his suspicions were further confirmed by a passage the Bible’s 2 Corinthians 11:14, which says: “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.”
During this excerpt, Apostle Paul cautioned his followers about false apostles who disguise themselves as true believers espousing Christ’s gospel.
