Gustave Doré's depiction of Satan from John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Christians who reject naturalistic explanations of life such as the theory of evolution have presented arguments in the field of Christian apologetics regarding UFO's being spiritual in nature and not amenable to naturalistic explanation.[1][2][3][4][5] Gary Bates of Creation Ministries International wrote a book entitled Alien Intrusion which gives a biblical Christian perspective on the unscientific notions of extraterrestial life and UFUlogy.[6]

Lynn Cato, senior bibliographer for the library of Congress, created a 1600 entry on UFO bibliography for the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research. After a two year investigation, in which she reviewed thousands of documents, Catoe stated:

“ A large part of the available UFO literature...deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities...poltergeist manifestations and 'possession'....Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomenon which have long been known to theologians and parapsychologists.[2][1] ”

Prominent UFO researcher John Keel concurred. After surveying the literature on demonology Keel declared:[1]

“ The manifestations and occurrences described in this imposing literature are similar if not entirely identical to the UFO phenomenon itself. ”
