I'm an exorcist... Here's the chilling encounter that made me believe UFOs are the work of Satan
Father Carlos Martins, an Ontario-born priest who has performed exorcisms around the world, believes the UFO phenomenon is part of a larger spiritual deception designed to undermine Christianity and cast doubt on the Bible.
The priest said a longtime friend who later converted to Christianity once witnessed a gigantic spacecraft hovering silently over a suburban park before it shot away 'instantly to the speed of a bullet.'
The object was allegedly so enormous that the two witnesses could see details on its surface and estimated it stretched across 'many football fields in size.' Yet despite the extraordinary sighting, no one else in the town appeared to notice the object, and there were no local news reports about the alleged encounter.
Years later, after converting to Christianity, Martins' friend came to believe the vision had not been an alien craft at all, but a supernatural illusion sent by the devil.
Martins said Satan could use belief in extraterrestrial civilizations to create 'a competing account' to Christian scripture and weaken belief in divine revelation.
'If the devil brings it about, he can put it into the human imagination that there is extraterrestrial life, that there are civilizations out there, then he can cause doubt in the Scriptures,' Martin said.
'What he's done then is set up a competing account to the Christian scriptures, something the Judeo-Christian scriptures cannot account for, and so there's an indirect repudiation of the truth of revelation. He's accomplished that.'
He said reports involving UFOs and alien encounters have increasingly appeared alongside exorcism cases during the last decade.
'There's definitely been a rise, I would say, in the last 10 years of integration of UFO and extraterrestrial, alien life stuff and exorcism,' Martins explained.
'The devil is perfectly capable of bending light. He's perfectly capable of causing a mirage and illusion,' the priest said. 'I mean, he is by far the greatest magician, the greatest sleight of hand performer that has ever existed.'

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
