Church Leaders Talk About UFOs

Introduction

Some Christian leaders are talking about new government papers. These papers show strange things in the sky.

Main Body

The US government shared 160 documents. These documents have photos and videos of strange objects. Two leaders, Jeremiah Johnston and Greg Laurie, say the photos are not clear. They say the photos do not prove aliens exist. Johnston says these objects are not aliens. He says they are four things. They are weather, secret planes, angels, or demons. He says the Bible explains these things. Laurie says some spirits can trick people. He says these spirits look like technology. He thinks people believe in aliens because of movies. He says this is a spiritual problem.

Conclusion

These leaders say the government data does not prove aliens. They believe the objects come from a spiritual world.
