Three high-profile public figures, a former president, a sitting vice president, and a former congressman with classified clearances, have all gone on record in the last six weeks discussing non-human entities, demonic intelligences, and government-run alien breeding programs, and the evangelical church has responded with the theological equivalent of a polite cough into a napkin. I’ve been writing about this for years, the Bible predicted it, the Church Fathers explained it, and the world is now stumbling toward the right answer without the one institution that was supposed to be holding the map.
The world is accelerating past the church at warp speed on a path the church should be holding the lamp to guide them, and the response from our seminaries and pulpits is so silent you can hear the tumbleweeds rolling through the prairie. The news stories are everywhere, almost every podcast or newspaper discusses it regularly, and it’s the topic of conversation at almost every water cooler in the First World. But from churches and evangelical Christians, it’s almost total silence. The crazy thing is, it’s 100% to our favor to discuss it and show them we have a book with all the answers to their many questions.
So far as the news is concerned, the last six weeks have been genuinely extraordinary, and anyone still dismissing the conversation about aliens as tinfoil-hat nonsense needs to update their priors or hand in their credibility badge. I’m positive that Erick Erickson would chortle at us, but he loses his temper at mentions of seed oils or the death rate from Covid vaccinations. The Evangelical Intelligentsia would make fun of us, for sure, but they are, themselves, the most irrelevant segment of American civic life, so it’s not like their opinion matters anyway.
A few weeks ago, former President Barack Obama sat down with podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen for what was billed as a friendly lightning-round interview. Cohen asked him point-blank whether aliens are real. Obama’s answer, delivered with a casual shrug, was simple and immediate. “They’re real,” he said, “but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in Area 51.” The clip detonated across social media within hours, sending the press corps into a full scramble. Within 24 hours, President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Obama had shared classified information and should not have done so. Five days after that, Trump posted on Truth Social that he would direct the Secretary of War and relevant agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, UAP, and UFOs. A former president’s throwaway podcast comment was enough to trigger a presidential declassification order.
Then came Vice President JD Vance, appearing on Benny Johnson’s podcast just last week, and doing something far more interesting than Obama’s ambiguous admission. When asked whether the Trump administration would release the UFO files, Vance said he had been obsessed with the question when he first took office, but got sidetracked by the economy and national security. He promised to get to the bottom of it, noted that he has “three years of the very tippy-top of the classification,” and then dropped this line: “I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion.”
Johnson pressed him, and Vance expanded his answer with what is, by secular political standards, a remarkably orthodox Christian framework. “Every great world religion, including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there,” he said, and then added that “one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed.” The sitting Vice President of the United States went on record saying that what we call aliens are demonic entities, on a podcast, in his official office. The crazy thing is, despite the secular press treating it like at least a curiosity, evangelicals barely registered it. The runner-up to the most powerful man in the world just confirmed one of the more controversial parts of Christian doctrine - the existence of demons - and most evangelicals couldn’t bother to notice the incredibleness of the moment.
One day later, Matt Gaetz appeared on the same show and took us even further down the rabbit hole. Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz told Benny Johnson that while he was serving in Congress and sitting on the Emerging Threats Subcommittee, with special compartmentalized clearance, a uniformed member of the United States Army appeared at a non-classified meeting attended by his staff and briefed him on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race capable of intergalactic communication. That is the direct quote, attributed to the Army briefer through Gaetz’s account.
Gaetz described a whistleblower claim of between six and twelve black-site facilities scattered across the country. He described the human participants as having been abducted from war zones and from migrant caravans. He cited the prior congressional testimony of David Grusch, who told the House Oversight Committee that recovered craft contained not just hard materials and reverse-engineered technology but also biological material that could not be identified as of human origin.
At this point, critics will complain that Gaetz has a “checkered past” or perhaps is a “disgraced former congressman,” but I’ll defend him on this count, point out that any claims about him are unsubstantiated, adjudicated, and debunked for anyone serious or honest enough to research it themselves. I’ll also tell you that he was a hair’s breadth from being the attorney general, has the credibility one earns when criticizing Israel and the American Deep State it operates, at great personal cost, and was clearly the target of a character assassination plot for being precisely the kind of man the Deep State wants to destroy. In other words, I find him credible. Meanwhile, an actual former member of Congress, live on air, described in specific operational detail a government-run alien-human hybrid breeding program, and the response from the church was the sound of nobody caring.
WHAT I2I HAS ARGUED
Insight to Incite subscribers have not arrived at this moment uninformed. I’ve published several pieces on this subject, and the thesis has been consistent throughout. I warned you less than two weeks ago in Big Distractions, Meaningless Gestures, and Alien Disclosures are Next that…well, read the title. I warned you this would be coming in higher and higher quantities, right before the VP said aliens were demons and the former Congressional firebrand said we’re breeding them. That’s the point of Broad Spectrum OSINT, to give you a heads-up.
In the Demon Weekend series, I argued that the modern UFO phenomenon is not an astrophysics problem, but is a spiritual warfare problem dressed up in a flight suit. In Powers, Principalities, and UFOs in High Places, I walked you through the phenomenology of abduction experiences, the sleep paralysis, the unwanted sexual encounters, the missing time, the fractured memories, and the religious confusion that follows, and I noted that these symptoms are identical in every material respect to what Christian tradition has called demonic oppression or possession. Christian tradition calls them demons. The Pentagon calls them UAP. Their substance is the same.
In Let’s Get Weird, A Christian Take On the UFO Phenomena, I cited Jacques Vallée, one of the most credentialed and least hysterical UFO researchers in the field, who spent decades documenting that the phenomenon behaves less like interplanetary tourism and more like an intelligence actively engaged in deceiving human minds. Vallée called them “messengers of deception.” That is not how beings from another galaxy would behave, but that’s exactly how beings described in Ephesians 6 would behave.
I also argued from The Anunaki, the Divine Council, and the Nephilim that Genesis 6:4 is not mythology and not metaphor, that the sons of God who came in to the daughters of men and produced the mighty men of old are the same beings Paul calls the rulers of the darkness of this world, and that the Church Fathers, essentially without exception, took this passage to describe an actual hybridization event. I suggested that modern abduction phenomena, complete with forced reproductive procedures, could represent a second wave of what Genesis 6 describes. And I even touched on the subject in A Biblical Look at the Lizard People Conspiracy. And no, I don’t believe in Lizard People. But I do believe that many conspiracies have a basis in anthropological memory, which often have tentacles in ancient truths.
HEISER AND THE COUNCIL OF gODS
If this section seems repetitive, I came back and added this section to better explain the Heister’s thesis than before, because many may not be familiar with the thesis - JD: Michael Heiser spent the better part of his academic career doing what most evangelical scholars were too nervous to do, which is read the Old Testament the way its original audience actually read it. His landmark work, “The Unseen Realm,” argued that the divine council worldview is not a pagan intrusion into Hebrew theology but is baked into the text from the beginning. When Genesis 6 refers to the “sons of God,” Heiser demonstrated through exhaustive comparative Semitic scholarship that the phrase “bene elohim” refers to divine beings, members of God’s heavenly council, not the godly lineage of Seth wearing a theological costume.
The same phrase appears in Job 1 and 2, where no serious commentator argues it means anything other than supernatural beings appearing before God. The Sethite interpretation, which has dominated Reformed commentary for two centuries, exists not because it is exegetically defensible but because the alternative makes theologians uncomfortable, and discomfort has never been a sound hermeneutical principle.
Heiser further argued that the Nephilim, the giant offspring of those unions, represent a category of being that is neither fully human nor fully divine, a corrupted hybrid class that the text treats as genuinely monstrous and genuinely real. When those Nephilim died in the flood, Heiser traced the ancient Jewish understanding that their disembodied spirits became what the New Testament calls demons, landbound and bodyless, which is why demons in the Gospels are obsessed with finding physical hosts and beg Jesus not to cast them “out of the region.” They are not fallen angels. They are the disembodied offspring of fallen angels, a third category of supernatural being that most systematic theologies simply leave blank because fitting them into a two-column chart of angels and humans is impossible. That blank space is not a victory for orthodoxy. It is a failure of nerve dressed up as theological precision.
I find all of the above to be compelling and the most accurate to the Sacred texts. I also think it’s worth a disclaimer that each time I’ve written about these issues, I’ve received frantic notes of people very concerned about my reputation - people who I barely know, or acquaintances who ghosted me years ago who clearly care way more about my “reputation” than they do about me personally, warning that it will “kill [my] credibility.” To be perfectly candid, I raise chickens. I’ve got a History degree, not a seminary one. I’m an expert in Christian polemics and hillbillies, and little else. But I have the credibility my readers give me when they weigh my words against the truth. And that’s the only credibility I need.
LIKE THE DAYS OF NOAH
The question about whether or not humans are the only intelligent life in the Universe has now been answered, not by theologians, but by politicians. But the Bible already answered it a long time ago. Jesus himself, in Matthew 24:37, said that the days of the Son of Man would be like the days of Noah. Many Christians read that passage as referring to the general moral degeneracy and spiritual indifference of the pre-flood world, people eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage right up until the flood came. That reading is not wrong, but it is incomplete to the point of negligence. Jesus’ warning, or prophecy, would provide no specificity at all, and therefore have no purpose, because every age involves moral degeneracy, spiritual indifference, and people eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage.
Jesus’ audience knew exactly what made the days of Noah remarkable beyond the moral depravity, and it was the same thing that every Second Temple Jewish writer had been discussing for centuries. The days of Noah were the days of the Watchers. It was the days of Genesis 6. It was the days of the Nephilim. Jesus’ audience - as the New Testament epistles show - were already head-deep into the Book of Enoch, which the Bible cites several times, in which the Nephilim and Watchers narrative was a prominent part.
The Book of Enoch, which Jude quotes in his canonical epistle, describes the Watchers as divine beings who descended, forcibly took human women, and produced a race of hybrid giants called the Nephilim. The flood was God’s partial but not yet complete response to that corruption. The fallen Watchers were chained in darkness, described in Jude 6 as “angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper abode,” now reserved in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. Peter repeats the same event in 2 Peter 2:4, calling them angels who sinned, cast into Tartarus, and delivered into chains of gloomy darkness. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 11:10, cryptically instructs women to have “authority on their head because of the angels,” a phrase that has puzzled commentators for centuries but which makes perfect sense if the background is the Genesis 6 account of angels acting on improper attraction to human women.
The question the church has danced around for centuries is whether the Genesis 6 event was a one-time occurrence, permanently closed off by the flood, or whether the hybridization program has continued in some form. Numbers 13:33 complicates any “clean closure” theory (that the Flood was a permanent solution to the problem) because the Nephilim reappear in Canaan after the flood. The spies sent by Moses reported seeing the descendants of Anak, who came from the Nephilim, and before them, the spies felt like grasshoppers. The Anakim were documented as a giant race, and their presence in post-flood Canaan demands an explanation for how they got there. The most natural interpretation and most logical conclusion from the Scripture itself is that a second incursion occurred.
Michael Heiser, whose work on the divine council and the Deuteronomy 32 worldview has been enormously influential, argued that the Rephaim, the Anakim, the Emim, and the Zamzummim represent distinct lineages that trace back to a second wave of the same Genesis 6 program, carried out by a different subset of divine beings operating under different constraints. My article several weekends ago about the giant remains in America during the 19th-20th centuries (which were 100% real, well-documented, and verified by the modern scientific method) contended that the only logical conclusion is that from time to time, the Nephilim indeed return and whatever elohim remain step out of their rightful place and re-engage the breeding program.
What Gaetz described, a program of forced hybridization involving entities of non-human origin and human beings obtained through abduction from vulnerable populations, is structurally identical to what the text describes. The humans taken from war zones and migrant caravans are the exact categories of people with the least institutional power to report disappearances and the least likelihood of being believed. That is not a random selection. That is a deliberate targeting of the voiceless, which is a strategy as old as the Watchers themselves.
THE BREEDING PROGRAM IS IN THE BIBLE
The church’s discomfort with the sexual and reproductive dimension of the Genesis 6 account is one of the great acts of theological cowardice in modern commentary. The text says what it says. Sons of God came into the daughters of men. What that sounds like is exactly what it is. The Hebrew verb used for this “coming in” is the same verb used throughout the Old Testament for sexual intercourse. The offspring were giants, mighty men, men of renown. The text describes a physical hybridization event resulting in biological offspring of extraordinary size and power. The flood was God’s surgical response to a genetic corruption so thorough that only Noah, who was “perfect in his generations,” that is, uncontaminated in his bloodline, could carry the human lineage forward to the promised Messiah.
Satan’s motive is not mysterious. Genesis 3:15 gave him the prophecy he spent the next several millennia trying to defeat. The Seed of Woman would crush his head. To prevent that, he needed to corrupt the seed itself. The Nephilim program was a bioweapons operation aimed at making a fully human Messiah impossible. God countered with a flood. The program resumed in Canaan, which is why the conquest of Canaan included what looks to modern readers like grotesque commands to wipe out entire populations to the last person. Joshua and David’s warriors were not engaged in ethnic cleansing. They were engaged in a targeted elimination of hybrid lineages that God had specifically condemned. The Philistines, from whose territory Goliath emerged, were the last surviving pocket of that population. Goliath stood six cubits and a span, somewhere between nine and eleven feet tall, and his brothers and kinsmen had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, a genomic signature mentioned in 2 Samuel 21:20 that has no ordinary human explanation.
