They say accounts by people who claim to have been abducted by ETs “demonstrate clear parallels” with “demonic encounters”.Leading Catholic theologian Dr Paul Thigpen said the probe into UFOs - or “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena” as they are now called - indicates the Government “know a lot more than they are telling”.He told the National Catholic Register: “With UAP we may actually be dealing with extraordinary phenomena of various origins despite similar characteristics.“Extra-terrestrial hypothesis – the notion that we are encountering non-human intelligences from locations in this universe beyond Earth - best accounts for many UAP.“The diabolical hypothesis – that they are demons – best accounts for some UAP reports, especially some of the so-called alien abductions’ that demonstrate clear parallels with what the Church knows as demonic encounters.”Dr Thigpen, who has penned a book called Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith, said if aliens exist they were “created by God” and are “under the Lordship of Christ”.
