In January of 2025, I made a post on Facebook—half joking, half serious—asking if that would be the “Year of the ET.”
I was off by about two months.
Now, in February 2026, the headlines are back with a vengeance. UAPs. Congressional briefings. Military footage. Even presidents like Barack Obama and Donald Trump are casually acknowledging there are “things we don’t fully understand.”
Let’s start here:
We have no verified, public proof of extraterrestrial intelligent life. None.
Unidentified does not mean alien.
Unknown does not mean extraterrestrial.
Speculation is not evidence.
That distinction matters.
But what started as a light comment a year ago has grown into something else—a watchman instinct. A watchman doesn’t panic. A watchman doesn’t chase rumors. A watchman pays attention.
So here’s the real question:
If one day the world is presented with undeniable, physical, non-human intelligent entities standing in public view… how should a Christian interpret that?
That’s a big “if.” But it’s a serious question.
My worldview begins in Genesis, not NASA. I grew up on Florida’s Space Coast and watched the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo launches from my backyard. NASA was the heartbeat of my youth, but my foundation is Scripture.
Genesis 6 describes a pre-Flood corruption—a moment in history where rebellion in the spiritual realm intersected with humanity. That event, whatever its full mechanics, resulted in judgment. The Flood reset the board.
After that, we see something interesting across global cultures: flood legends, stories of hybrid beings, “sons of the gods,” and superhuman rulers. Greek and Roman mythology didn’t appear in a vacuum. Neither did Mesopotamian accounts.
I don’t believe Zeus was literally walking around Athens in 400 BC. I believe mythology reflects a distorted cultural memory—echoes of something much older.
Scripture warns repeatedly about deception. It tells us that spiritual beings can masquerade. It tells us that not every manifestation of power comes from God.
Let me be clear about what I am not saying:
- I am not saying “aliens” exist.
- I am not predicting a staged global event.
- I am not claiming current UAP footage is demonic.
- I am not declaring that “disclosure” is imminent.
- There is still no proof of extraterrestrial life.
But if one day proof is presented—undeniable, global, and visible—my interpretive framework will not default to interplanetary biology. It will default to Scripture.
The modern world assumes that if advanced intelligence appears, it must be biological and from another planet. The Bible suggests that not all intelligence is biological, and not all “visitors” are from the stars.
That doesn’t make me afraid. It makes me watchful.
A watchman doesn’t invent threats; he simply refuses to be surprised.
I’m not waiting for disclosure. I’m watching for deception.
I’m Wayne—and that’s my world view. What’s yours?
