In my first (awfully long) installment on this topic, I wrote about how it is unwise to suggest there is or can only be one Christian view of intelligent alien life, should such life be proven factual someday. In the course of that installment, I alluded to certain...

What is “the” Christian View of Aliens? Part 1
The recent publicity spike for the upcoming Christian Symposium on Aliens, to be held this July in Roswell, NM, has prompted me to blog about its content. This symposium focuses on the view that what people think are aliens (mostly from contactee and abductee...
Majestic 12 Documents Show on Coast to Coast AM Tonight
I'm guessing I have some C2C listeners as readers, so I thought I'd blog this even though it's outside the realm of UFOs and religion. Ryan and Bob Wood are the guests tonight on the show. The topic is the MJ12 documents. I've had some people email me with some sort...
Are There Nazi Occult Symbols and a Swastika Carved into the Ground Due East of Roswell, NM?
Someone sent me the picture below (actually, this is a better one, taken from Google Earth - I got the original in Google maps - put in the coordinates yourself and have a look: 33.206278, -103.584820). Certain bloggers have duly claimed that the image is the result...
How UFO Enthusiasts Understand and Misunderstand Christians Interested in UFOs and ET Life

Joe Jordan on Abductions and Spiritual Warfare
Follow this link to an MP3 file of a very recent interview of Joe Jordan on this subject. Joe, as you recall, was one of the central figures of the Roswell session that Greg Bishop blogged about dealing with deliverance from abductions via the name of Jesus. We...
The ET Mythology as a Propaganda Tool, continued
This is a follow-up to my earlier post in regard to the article on how folklore served as a useful propaganda tool in Nazi Germany. The article was meant to point out that governmental power, totalitarian or otherwise, often makes use of "big picture" ideas - BELIEFS...
Conservative Christian Ufology and Other Views: How Can a Joint Dialogue Be Advanced?
The comments to my post about stopping abductions through prayer has me asking myself where the dialogue goes from here (or, from Roswell 2008). It's not an easy question. I think there is a willingness on both sides to dialogue, but the issues (obstacles?) are...
Stopping Abductions with Prayer?
Greg Bishop recently blogged about the experiences of some of acquaintances (he missed the event itself) at a recent session during the Roswell UFO Festival. You can read the full entry for yourself, as well as comments, but I'd like to say a few things about both...
UFOs, ETs, and Religion, Part 2 (Balducci’s Conundrum continued)
As I mentioned in my last post, Christopher Partridge writes the first chapter of the book he edited (UFO Religions). The introductory chapter is called "Understanding UFO Religions and Abduction Spiritualities." Partridge begins by briefly overviewing "the emergence...
