Aliens as angels and demons
Aliens as angels and demons is the proposition that the angels and demons of religious tradition were in fact extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or other non-human intelligent beings — benevolent and malevolent visitors recorded through the vocabulary of religion. The framing parallels aliens as gods and draws on Jacques Vallée's argument that the entities of folklore, religion, and the UFO phenomenon are one continuous reality appearing under different names; the Watchers of the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim are commonly cited as a bridge case. No mainstream verification exists.
