I had read an account where a man woke up and was having a typical alien encounter event until he started praying to Jesus for help, and they had vanished. So do consider the possibility in light of God's words.
Hebrews 2: 5For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? 7Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Job 7:17What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
Job 15:14What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Psalm 8:3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Psalm 144:3LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
Now if you consider the possability of aliens in outer space, the whole encounter suggests them being more powerful and more inteligent than us, but that would go against God's words about establishing us as having dominion over all living things on the earth. The only exceptions were angels, and since the fall, fallen angels as well.
In other words, if they were not demonic as being celestial, but other intelligent life forms on other planets as terrestrial, what would be the purpose of their creation in light of the coming glory of Christ when the heavens and the earth are renewed and angels wil be judged by the elect? If all of creation suffers and await for the manifestation of the children of God, then what purpose would there be for a superior terrestrial life form that can have dominion over us on the earth?
Genesis 1:26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
There are enough information in the Bible to suggests that aliens that flee when Jesus' name is called is anything else but a run of the mill another form of "man" in another part of the universe. God cannot be obviously mindful of them when recreating the universe out from underneathe their feet. God cannot be hodling an account of them when Jesus did not die for them but for the sin of mankind as death came into the world because of sin.
So earth may not be the center of the universe, but it does goes to show the posing of the question by Job and by the Psalmist. God would not create any other life in vain.
Isaiah 45:17But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. 18For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 19I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Verse 18 would declare that there be no need for creation elsewhere if other planets were to be inhabitted by other intelliegent life forms and thus they would be having a culture of their own God and false gods, but the Lord did not speak in secret that He would leave out information of other life forms that would visit us. He has told us all we need to know as pertaining to the coming glory of Christ Jesus the Lord. It would be vanity for life to be elsewhere for the coming glory of the Lord. In all that time, God would have us preach the Gospel to all creatures, and yet no record or account in the Bible has Him to share with us that one He raised up as a worker for the harvest, did.
So in light of the coming glory of Jesus Christ as by one man, sin entered into the world and death by sin, that by One, life can be obtained... all life on other planet would have been created and inhabitting those planets in vain.
Science discounted the evidence of life found on Mars from a fossilized rock found on earth. As much as newspaper had that initial information by headline that there was, the discounting of it was in a little article later on. FYI

Thank you Baruch for providing some scripture to show why aliens don't exist. I am not sure if I ever even thought of this topic before, and if someone had asked me my stance on it, I wouldn't have even known what to say off the top of my head.
Some of us don't know our Bible as well as we should. Some of us are only beginning our study of the Bible. And some of us just haven't been given the gift of a great memory. That doesn't mean we're any less of a Christian.
I only need to know ONE thing to be a Christian. Helps to know more, but it's not a prerequisite.

Evil is a sin. Any act of disobedience to God is a sin. God says not to kill, yets Abraham nearly gave his own son as a blood sacrifice in obedience to God (we all know how that ended). What I'm saying is that no man is in a position to judge the heart & soul. A thing may or may not be evil, while doing Gods will (like Judas, or Peter's vision of the sheet full of unclean animals)! These "aliens" (foreigners to the world [inhabited place]) can also choose to obey or disobey God's will. Ex... Michael vs lucifer

I can understand from the description given in the chapter that one thinks of a UFO and aliens BUT verse 3 of this chapter and the beginning of the next chapter does everything to dispel that Ezekiel 1 was about aliens or UFOs. That was hand of the Lord on him making him see those things as he was being placed before Him..
Ezekiel 1: 3The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him. 4And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 6And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 8And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 9Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 10As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 11Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. 12And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. 13As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 15Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. 16The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. 18As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. 19And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 21When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 22And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. 23And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. 24And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. 25And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. 26And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. 28As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
Ezekiel 2: 1And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. 2And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. 3And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. 4For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

Take heart brethren, he who has witnessed these things (specific member - christiancanadian from the thread: Are Aliens Real? My True Story Part 2)! They most certainly are real. These beings were plastered all over the walls in Egypt. Why do U think Mosses was ordered to lead the blind sheep of Israel/ Ysrael. Here's the kicker - the ones that come here outside of God's will are what we call fallen angels today... A.K.A. anunaki, nephilim, reptilian shapeshifters (2 Corinthians 11:14)... etc. These are the luciferian aliens responsible for sowing the tares amongst the wheat, who are, in turn, responsible for the NWO one world government. These "tares" are evil and will stop at NOTHING for global domination. They have engineered & influenced every major conflict this world has ever known since the time of Nebuchadnezzar & babylon. My heart tells me that they are not all malevolent, but what do I know???

well Alf wasnt evil thats for sure
Think again! The occult is very prominent in Hollywood. Using comedy is a readily accepted and very well-used method to desensitize people to all sorts of things; Witchcraft (Bewitched, Mary Poppins, Witch Mountain - Disney has TONS of movies and books for kids using witchcraft ) homosexuality; (Will & Grace, 3rd eye for the queer guy (or something like that), and you can hardly watch a movie now adays that doesn't have some postive slant on gay behavior); And aliens (Alf, The Martian; Lost in Space, all the star wars and star Trek shows, etc.). So you see, there IS a wicked agenda behind all these shows....and if you look very deeply, you will find that there is occult influence at the core of every one of them.
