Are the Non-Human Intelligences Discussed in Congress Hostile or Friendly? Exploring the Complex Possibility of Multiple Alien Agendas

In recent congressional hearings on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), a remarkable shift in public policy has placed the spotlight on the question of non-human intelligence and its potential intentions toward humanity. For years, such discussions were relegated to the realm of speculation, dismissed by mainstream society and associated more with science fiction than governmental inquiry. Now, however, the reality of UAPs is receiving attention from Congress, and the questions surrounding these phenomena carry profound implications for global security, technological advancement, and perhaps even the very nature of human existence.
As a conservative Iranian-American ex-Muslim and a devoted Christian Latter-day Saint (LDS), I am interested in this question not only because it pertains to national security but also because it raises deeper theological questions. In the Bible, there is ample warning about "powers and principalities" beyond the human realm (Ephesians 6:12). Are the UAPs the work of benevolent beings, or are they akin to the hostile forces warned about in scripture? Or could it be possible that these intelligences are not monolithic, encompassing a range of entities with both friendly and hostile intentions?
Hostile or Friendly: The Question of Intent
One of the most urgent questions raised in Congress has been whether these UAPs pose a threat to humanity. Reports of UAPs demonstrating technological capabilities that exceed our own—such as hovering, instantaneous acceleration, and maneuverability beyond the scope of human technology—prompt concern regarding their intentions. Some of these objects have been sighted around sensitive military installations, leading experts to speculate that they may be surveilling our defenses, the military has been understandably cautious, recognizing the potential danger these phenomena could pose to national security. When foreign aircraft enter restricted airspace, they are considered potential threats. If UAPs are non-human in origin, their actions could reasonably be considered suspicious, particularly if they encroach on restricted or secure areas. Additionally, the fact that some sightings have been associated with electromagnetic interference—causing communications or equipment failures—suggests that these entities may possess capabilities that could be used in a harmful way, either intentionally or inadvertently .
Tlity of Multiple Agendas
However, there is also the intriguing possibility that UAPs represent not one, but multiple forms of non-human intelligence. These could include a range of entities, from benign or even benevolent beings interested in observing humanity to more aggressive or hostile forces with motives unknown to us. In fact, both religious and philosophical traditions have long posited the existence of diverse types of spiritual or extraterrestrial beings, some of which align with human values while others do not.
In recent disclosures, some former military officials have hinted at encounters suggesting that different types of UAPs exhibit varying behaviors. Some seem to maintain a purely observational distance, never engaging in aggressive maneuvers, while others are more invasive, even to the point of appearing to "engage" with aircraft. This discrepancy could imply different intentions and origins, perhaps indicating that not all UAPs serve the same purpose .
This aligns winy Christians, including those within the LDS faith, have believed for centuries—that there are powers in the heavens, some aligned with God and others opposed to His purposes. LDS theology suggests the existence of a “war in heaven” wherein opposing forces contested for control, a theme that resonates with the current uncertainty surrounding UAPs and their intentions. If UAPs are indeed entities of diverse origins, then it would be wise for humanity to approach them with a healthy skepticism, discerning each encounter carefully.
What is at Stake? Security, Morality, and Faith
As an ex-Muslim who once sought truth within Islam, socialism, and even veganism, I can relate to the complex journey humanity now faces in trying to understand these mysterious visitors. I came to find answers in the Christian LDS faith, which upholds that our mortal life is but one stage in a larger divine plan. This belief in God’s ultimate sovereignty offers comfort in uncertain times, especially in grappling with phenomena that may seem threatening or beyond our understanding.
This view also provides insight into the appropriate response to UAPs. Rather than rushing to view them as either hostile or friendly, a balanced and morally grounded approach is essential. Caution, vigilance, and faith in God's plan should guide us, knowing that He has established humanity as stewards over the earth. While it is natural to wonder if these beings could offer advancements in technology or medicine, we must weigh any potential benefit against the potential moral or spiritual cost. We should be wary of any influence that could divert us from our faith in God or undermine the principles that serve as the foundation of our society.
Conclusion
As Congress continues to investigate the nature and intent of UAPs, it is crucial to remember that these discussions are more than scientific; they are deeply spiritual and ethical. Are we dealing with a single form of intelligence, or do these phenomena represent a multiplicity of entities, some of which may be friendly while others could be dangerous? Are they here to guide humanity, or are they warning us to prepare for potential conflict? As Americans and as Christians, we are called to discern carefully, to seek wisdom from God, and to protect our nation from potential threats, both seen and unseen.
Ultimately, we must proceed with both caution and faith, acknowledging the complexity of the universe God has created and our role within it. We should remain vigilant, seeking further understanding while rooted in a strong moral framework and the unshakable foundation of faith. Only through this lens can we hope to address the mystery of UAPs in a way that honors our commitment to truth, security, and divine purpose.
