2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
The Alien/UFO phenomenon has been around since prehistoric times [1], although it has become very prevalent in our culture today. You can't watch or read anything without running into aliens at some point. This phenomenon is no longer relegated to the the realms of conspiracy theorists but they have become a part of our culture, even to the point that now school children are writing letters to aliens [2].
The Science Community
Science is probably the most prevalent and well-respected advocate for extra-terrestrial aliens. The science community via the media is telling us that even though the existence of aliens has not yet been objectifiably "proven" there is mounting "evidences" that seem to claim or imply that we are indeed very close to finding life outside our planet. This proof tends to be published through articles and/or reports at least once a month [12]. NASA may be one of the most well-known proponents in the search for life outside this planet but other countries are doing their own research into the possibility of alien life, such as Russia's research at Lake Vostok [13], or Chinese scientists researching a mysterious alien pyramid on top of a mountain in Western China [14]. At times you can sense their frustration with how long it is taking to "discover" alien life, when such articles as First contact: will we ever hear from aliens? are written [15].
Zecharia Sitchen & the planet Niburu
In addition to all this information (some may argue that it's more on the verge of propaganda), from the scientific community, there has been a pseudo-scientific researcher by the name of Zecharia Sitchen, who has engendered quite a following [16]. For years he has advocated the belief that humans were genetically engineered by an alien race tens of thousands of years ago, in the ancient city of Sumeria (modern day Iraq) [17]. Sitchen believes that our alien creators will be coming back one day from the planet Niburu to lead us into the next phase of our existence.
UFO's and religion
These beliefs are worked out even further and in tandem within the New Age movement and for decades has been slowly turning the belief of aliens/ufo's into its own religion. This in turn has caused quasi-religious groups to start popping up, that find great solace in a future alien invasion, such as the Raelians and the Heaven's Gate cult. The UFO/Alien issue is not only found within the New Age and fringe religions, but it has also found a place in Roman Catholicism with the 1917 Miracle of the Sun event.
Threat of alien invasion
However, these future encounters are not all positive. Some sources say that these aliens will destroy us to protect other civilizations [18]. It's quite possible that even Winston Churchill, the prime minister of Great Britain was concerned about this possibility [19]. There is also evidence that the United States is preparing for an Alien invasion [20]. Morever, it's very possible that TPTB will use a staged alien invasion in order to consolidate power and create a world government [21] or possibly even to fix the U.S. economy [22].
What the Bible says
If this evidence proves to be accurate, then an "alien invasion" could be what the Bible refers to in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 as the powerful delusion that God sends in the Last Days "so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."
Further, Luke 21:25 states that in the Last Days, there will be signs in the skies. Could the numerous UFO sightings around the world [23] be part of these Last Day " signs?

-----NOTES------
*1. A clear image of what might be an alien or ET in a space suit can be seen in one cave painting along with a classical flying saucer shaped UFO that appears to be either beaming something down or beaming something up, in what might be an ancient UFO abduction scenario. A force-field or trail of some sort is seen at the rear of the UFO. Also visible is another object that might depict a wormhole, explaining how aliens were able to reach Earth. This image may lead UFO enthusiasts to conclude that the images might have been drawn with the involvement of aliens themselves.
*10. Interestingly, a month after this article was published, Area 51 was in the news again. This time author Annie Jacobsen "reveals" that the famed flying saucer that crashed was not aliens but rather Russia military technology [See New York Times Article dated May 15, 2011]. I find it convenient timing that her book Area 51 was published soon after this article. This may all be a coincidence but it does make me wonder...A group of anthropologists working with hill tribes in a remote area of India have made a startling discovery: Intricate prehistoric cave paintings depicting aliens and UFO type craft.The images were found in the Hoshangabad district of the state of Madhya Pradesh only 70 kilometers from the local administrative centre of Raisen. The caves are hidden deep within dense jungle.

Growing up with a Christian worldview, I always believed aliens were demons, although I had no proof or reason for my belief. Several years ago however, I found out some interesting evidence that the whole alien phenomenon that we are experiencing today may have been greatley assisted by a man named Aleister Crowley in the early 1900's and may eventually help lead to the establishment of what many now know as the New World Order.
Aleister Crowley
Aleister Crowley
Aleister Crowley was the self-described, "world's wickedest man", and was deeply involved in ritual magick, witchcraft, secret societies, and other occult activities. One interesting encounter he had which is the subject of this chapter is with an otherworldly being, named Lam. A quick view of this creature that Crowley drew, may lead one to recognize it as what we know as the alien greys of our modern age [3].
Alien disclosure
Yet even with these facts which point to a sinister supernatural explanation, there is still movement within our culture that seems to be "alerting" our world that extra-terrestrial aliens/UFO's are real and that an encounter with them is imminent and being covered up [4]. This movement is coming from several different sources. It comes from organizations such as the Nation of Islam [5] and Wikileaks [6]. It comes from world governments such as the U.N.'s The International Institute of Integral Human Sciences, from sovereign governments, such as New Zealand [7], Great Britain [8], and the EU [9] that are now releasing or trying to release their Alien/UFO files. A good majority of Alien/UFO research and speculation is also coming from the conspiracy world through events such as the Roswell Crash of 1947 [10], or even the Kennedy Assassination [11].The Science Community

**12. Rhea (pronounced /ˈriː.ə/; ancient Greek Ῥέα) was the Titaness daughter of Uranus, the sky, and Gaia, the earth, in Greek mythology. She was known as "the mother of gods." In earlier traditions, she was strongly associated with Gaia and Cybele, the Great Goddess, and was later seen by the classical Greeks as the mother of the Olympian gods and goddesses, though never dwelling permanently among them on Mount Olympus. The Romans identified Rhea with the Goddess Ops. [Source: Wikipedia]
*16. Zecharia Sitchen dies October 26, 2010. http://www.ufodigest.com/article/zecharia-sitchin-has-died
*17. Interestingly enough, there is at least one Christian researcher, Peter Goodgame, who offers a theory connecting the so-called "gods" of Ancient Sumeria with the eventual rise of the Anti-Christ, http://www.redmoonrising.com/Giza/index.htm.
*23. This UFO story is getting a lot more attention than most because of two different factors. First, flying over the Dome of Rock is forbidden, so it the chances that it would be some type of aircraft are non-existent. Second, it was seen from four different angles so it would be difficult to debunk this as a hoax. According to a Fox News article, "Some UFO enthusiasts believe the videos -- which have taken the Internet by storm -- are final proof that aliens exist..." I find this story fascinating because it brings together 2 important components of Bible Prophecy: Jerusalem, which plays a major role in the End Times; and Aliens, (otherwise known as Fallen Angels), which also play a significant role in the End Times.
