Ufology Is Becoming Its Own Religion

“Perhaps the nature of the phenomenon is faith.”
~ Garry Nolan

Ufology is slowly becoming its own religion.  As a Christian, I feel led to say this—not out of anger or criticism, but out of concern for truth. Christians should recognize that ufology is not Christianity, nor is it Biblical. It has its own belief system, its own prophets, and its own gospel—one that replaces the message of Christ with something vague, mystical, and undefined.  Ufology borrows imagery and philosophy from the Bible, but it is not the Bible. It uses words like “light,” “salvation,” and “messenger,” yet never points to the message of John 3:16:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

That verse is the heart of Christianity. It is the gospel—the good news that God sent His Son to the earth to die for our sins so that we could live eternally. You will not find that message anywhere within ufology. Instead, you’ll find endless versions of personal “truths” about “the phenomenon.” That is the defining difference between Christianity and ufology.

Christianity Is Identified. Ufology Is Unidentified.

Christianity is built on revelation—on something known, not guessed. The Bible identifies who God is, who His Son is, and what the path to salvation is. There is no mystery about the source of truth; it is written, spoken, and lived through Christ.

By contrast, the very name ufology means unidentified. The followers of this new belief system seek meaning in what cannot be confirmed. It offers no anchor—only speculation. The Bible is the identifier; ufology is the uncertainty.

When someone says they “believe in the phenomenon,” ask what that means. You will get a hundred different answers. But if you ask a Christian who they believe in, there is one name: Jesus Christ. That distinction matters more than people realize.

A Word About Nolan and Pasulka

This is not meant as an attack on anyone. I believe Garry Nolan means well and is pursuing a scientific approach. But I also see how people like Diana Pasulka are shaping ufology into something that resembles a faith system—a kind of cult where spiritual hunger is redirected away from God and toward an unidentified “phenomenon.”

Ironically, ufologists often ask that their experiences be believed without question, yet when Christians share their own experiences of faith, they are dismissed or mocked. It’s a strange double standard—but one I’ve come to expect.

I don’t claim to have influence over anyone. I simply want to do my part to clarify what Christianity is truly about: Jesus Christ, His sacrifice, and His promise of eternal life to those who believe. That message will never be found in ufology—and that’s how you can tell the difference between a movement and a faith.
