What does the Bible say about non-human beings and the paranormal?

UFOs

Matthew 24:24

2 Thessalonians 2:11

I believe ETs are demons, and UFOs are their craft, possibly in cooperation with humans (specifically the military). I believe this because of the things they do and say, and because of the way their "spacecraft" move and appear.

The things they do are characteristic of those who worship Satan: experimentation with human reproduction, mutilation of cattle (specifically, removal of the reproductive organs, left eye, anus, and every drop of blood, as well as mutilation of the right side of the body because it represents "good"), etc. And they tell the people they’ve abducted things which are designed to deceive and are contrary to Scripture. Their craft move in ways which have been described by experts as more like "ghosts and fairies" than physical craft. The descriptions of them are somewhat similar to the way Ezekiel described the cherubim in his visions.

I believe the ultimate purpose for the shadowy existence of UFOs is to be a part of the "great deception" that will come upon the world in the last days, because it will help explain away the Rapture and garner support for the Antichrist.

Scientific experiments have proven the reality of some psychic events, but they haven’t explained the mechanism by which these things happen. They are much like the force of gravity: we can observe its effects and make use of it, but we cannot really explain it. But even if science could find a mechanism, a strong word of caution is in order, especially for Christians.

The physical brain is the interface between the soul and the body, "a machine that a ghost can operate". Death occurs when that connection is permanently broken. But it is possible for that connection to be temporarily altered, where the soul is at some "distance" from the brain but not completely removed from it. This state is what the Bible would call demon possession, known today by the term "channelling". It also is the situation with out-of-body experiences and multiple personality disorder. It can be entered into in a variety of ways, such as with drugs, meditation, religious ritual, or hypnosis.

The Bible is crystal clear that any attempt to separate or put distance between the soul and the body is evil. It opens us up to the influence of other spirits, giving them control of "the machine". Even if this loss of control sometimes brings a positive result (typical of hypnosis), it is clearly forbidden because of the great spiritual danger involved. It doesn’t make sense to go looking for trouble when so much of it already comes our way.

Demons are the most likely "mechanism" for psychic phenomina such as telekenesis and clairvoyance. They are undetectable spiritual entities whose purpose is to deceive and destroy. Although we are not told exactly how they "possess" and manipulate our brains, it is obvious that they have this ability. They also have vast knowledge of all human history and could easily impersonate anyone, explaining the ability of mediums to contact what they think are spirits of the dead. Angelic beings are sometimes called "watchers", and there are a vast number of them so it could appear to us that they have God-like powers, but this too is deception.

Demons are fallen angels, meaning angels who followed Satan in rebellion against God. Depending on whether they are good or bad, angels can take on physical form, eat, possess humans or animals, wage war, guard nations or churches, convey messages, or carry out God’s judgments. They have wills and a language of their own. They will eventually be judged by us believers, but at present they are much more powerful and intelligent than us. Clearly these entites are not to be trifled with, and the Bible warns us against foolishly trying to directly engage them in "battle" (such as is done in the "spiritual warfare" movement).
