The Demonic hypothesis really seems to be a recurring theme in this latest round of "disclosure" (as such) and I hate that it seems a very narrow steer on what is a rich and intriguing seam in the overlap between elements of the UFO phenomena and historic accounts of demonic manifestations. I like Redfern's book but I really think he's at least partly been sold an AFOSI crock and I worry that this line appears to have circled back around the to heights of reactionary politics and the Military Industrial complex itself. Onward Christian soldiers indeed!
What's most striking to me in the conversations about aliens, angels, gods, fairies - whatever have you - is the lack of acceptance that all these cryptids, beings, and creatures may be one the same. Applying the multiverse theory here, and I'm spitballing, and accepting that there are alternate dimensions in spacetime means accepting beings from those alternate dimensions. And while socio-culturally there is a difference between an alien and an angel, the reality is that the two may be the same being interpreted by fallible humans based on their perceptions, values, and principles.
My daughter is six now, and when she asks, "Is ___ real?" I always give her the same answer: What we see is real; some things we can't see are also real; and some people see real things others don't or can't see." Reality itself, especially when it comes to qualifying beings and entities we don't understand, must be questioned.
