Recently, you can hear or read about the manifestations of alien activity on planet Earth. Some people consider aliens a reality, others talk about ufology as pseudoscience. An Orthodox person may wonder what the Bible says about aliens.
The Bible does not say anything about aliens. The Holy Scriptures do not say much at all, all because the Bible is not an encyclopedic reference book, but a sacred collection of texts telling about the covenant between man and God. Everything that does not apply even indirectly to the relationship of man and God, to divine decrees, is not reflected in the Bible. The question of aliens is no exception.
From the point of view of Orthodox Christianity, aliens, as representatives of the "green men" do not exist. However, in this matter it is worth mentioning another. In particular, under the phenomena attributed to alien forces and influences, one can consider the manifestation of demonic forces. At different times, demonic influence on a person was carried out in various ways. For example, demons appeared in their guise to ancient ascetics and some modern saints. Saints, to the best of their spiritual strength, could see them. As for the ordinary modern man, it is quite “profitable” for demonic manifestations to take on a different form in order to overshadow the consciousness of people. In particular, the appearance of “aliens” can be considered in this. In general, if we compare the sensations of a person from contact with devilry and from "contact with an alien", one can see absolutely identical states.
So, do not think that the Bible speaks positively about aliens. There are no such words and names of creatures there. And some incomprehensible manifestations of an alien force are not such, and their essence may contain demonic temptation to corrupt the human consciousness.
