Do Alien-Human Hybrids Walk Among Us?
A NEW INVESTIGATIVE SERIES BY TOM HORN
"Secretly, I had reached back into the past, contacting people I would trust with this information and who were uniquely qualified to explain if something truly was breaking through from the spirit world. The implications were all so deeply disturbing. I could guard their identity for the time being, referring to some of them lightly, as 'God's Ghostbusters' to conceal their deeper identities and our mutual challenge until the time was right."
What Secrets Lie Within The Holy See ?
In January of last year, the Royal Society, the National Academy of Science of the UK, and the Commonwealth hosted representatives from NASA, the European Space Agency, and the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, during its 350th anniversary celebration. The event offered some dizzying intellects in the featured discussion, "The Detection of Extraterrestrial Life and the Consequences for Science and Society." Lord Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society and Astronomer Royal announced that aliens may be "staring us in the face" in a form humans are unable to recognize.
Other speakers used words like "overwhelming evidence" and "unprecedented proof" to signify how close we may be to making discovery of intelligent alien life. Some, like Simon Conway Morris, professor of evolutionary paleobiology at Cambridge University, worried that contact with these unknowns might not be a good thing. "Extra-terrestrials might not only resemble us but have our foibles, such as greed, violence, and a tendency to exploit others' resources," he said. "And while aliens could come in peace they are quite as likely to be searching for somewhere to live, and to help themselves to water, minerals and fuel."
While other scientists, astronomers, and physicists agreed with Morris' concerns (most notably, renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking), some speakers at the gathering of intellectuals were more optimistic, imagining ETs someday appearing as man's saviors or, at a minimum, benevolent space brothers. When Father José Gabriel Funes in a long interview with the L'Observatore Romano newspaper weighed in on the question, "Are we alone in the Universe?" he said there is a certain possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos, and that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith." He then added: "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere? Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation."[ii] Such statements by Funes were the latest in a string of recent comments by Vatican astronomers confirming the belief that discovery may be made in the near future of alien life, including intelligent life, and that this encounter would not unhinge the doctrine of Christ.
In 2005, another Vatican astronomer, Guy Consolmagno tackled this subject in a fifty-page booklet, Intelligent Life in the Universe?: Catholic Belief and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life, in which he similarly concluded that chances are better than not that mankind is facing a future discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence. Before that, Monsignor Corrado Balducci made even bigger news when he said ETs were actually already interacting with Earth and that some of the Vatican's leaders were aware of it.
Still, perhaps most intriguing was maverick Catholic theologian Father Malachi Martin who, before his suspicious death in 1999, hinted at something like imminent extraterrestrial contact more than once. While on Coast to Coast AM radio in 1997, Art Bell asked Martin why the Vatican was heavily invested in the study of deep space at Mt Graham Observatory in southeastern Arizona.
As a retired professor of the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Martin was uniquely qualified to hold, in secret, information pertaining to the Vatican's Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) project at the Mount Graham International Observatory (MGIO). Martin's answer ignited a firestorm of interest among Christian and secular UFOlogists when he said, "Because the mentality…amongst those who [are] at the…highest levels of Vatican administration and geopolitics, know…what's going on in space, and what's approaching us, could be of great import in the next five years, ten years" (emphasis added).
Those cryptic words "what's approaching us, could be of great import" was followed in subsequent interviews with discussion of a mysterious "sign in the sky" that Malachi believed was approaching from the north. People familiar with Malachi believe he may have been referring to a near-future arrival of alien intelligence. Yet, if ET life is something Vatican officials have privately considered for some time, why speak of it so openly now, in what some perceive as a careful, doctrinal unveiling over the last few years? Is this a deliberate effort by church officials to "warm-up" the laity to ET disclosure? Are official church publications on the subject an attempt to soften the blow before disclosure arrives, in order to help the faithful retain their orthodoxy in light of unprecedented forthcoming knowledge?
Writing for Newsweek on Thursday, May 15, 2008, in the article "The Vatican and Little Green Men," Sharon Begley noted that "[this] might be part of a push to demonstrate the Vatican's embrace of science… Interestingly, the Vatican has plans to host a conference in Rome next spring to mark the 150th anniversary of the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin's seminal work on the theory of evolution. Conference organizers say it will look beyond entrenched ideological positions—including misconstrued creationism. The Vatican says it wants to reconsider the problem of evolution 'with a broader perspective' and says an 'appropriate consideration is needed more than ever before.''
The "appropriate consideration" Begley mentioned may have been something alluded to by Guy Consolmagno three years earlier in an interview with the Sunday Herald. That article pointed out how Consolmagno's job included reconciling "the wildest reaches of science fiction with the flint-eyed dogma of the Holy See" and that his latest mental meander was about "the Jesus Seed," described as "a brain-warping theory which speculates that, perhaps, every planet that harbors intelligent, self-aware life may also have had a Christ walk across its methane seas, just as Jesus did here on Earth in Galilee. The salvation of the Betelguesians may have happened simultaneously with the salvation of the Earthlings."[iv] This sounds like a sanctified version of panspermia—the idea that life on earth was "seeded" by something a long time ago such as an asteroid impact—but in this case, "the seed" was divinely appointed and reconciled to Christ.
The curious connection between the Vatican's spokespersons and the question of extraterrestrials and salvation was further hinted in the May 2008 L'Osservatore Romano interview with Father Funes, titled, "The Extraterrestrial is My Brother." In Google and blog translations of the Italian feature, Funes responds to the question of whether extraterrestrials would need to be redeemed, which he believes should not be assumed. "God was made man in Jesus to save us," he says. "If other intelligent beings exist, it is not said that they would have need of redemption. They could remain in full friendship with their Creator."
By "full friendship" Funes reflected how some Vatican theologians accept the possibility that an extraterrestrial species may exist that is morally superior to men—closer to God than we fallen humans are—and that, as a consequence, they may come here to evangelize us. Father Guy Consolmagno took up this same line of reasoning when he wrote in his book, Brother Astronomer: Adventures of a Vatican Scientist:
So the question of whether or not one should evangelize is really a moot point. Any alien we find will learn and change from contact with us, just as we will learn and change from contact with them. It's inevitable. And they'll be evangelizing us, too.
The Rabbit Hole Goes Deeper...
In a paper for the Interdisciplinary Encyclopedia of Religion and Science, Father Giuseppe Tanzella-Nitti of the Pontifical University in Rome (where the Vatican's deepest theology is discoursed) explains just how mankind could actually be evangelized during contact with "spiritual aliens," as every believer in God would, he argues, greet an extraterrestrial civilization as an extraordinary experience and would be inclined to respect the alien and to recognize the common origin of our different species as originating from the same Creator.
According to Giuseppe, this contact by non-terrestrial intelligence would then offer new possibilities "of better understanding the relationship between God and the whole of creation."[vii] Giuseppe states this would not immediately oblige the Christian "to renounce his own faith in God simply on the basis of the reception of new, unexpected information of a religious character from extraterrestrial civilizations, "but that such a renunciation could come soon after as the new "religious content" originating from outside the earth is confirmed as reasonable and credible. "Once the trustworthiness of the information has been verified" the believer would have to "reconcile such new information with the truth that he or she already knows and believes on the basis of the revelation of the One and Triune God, conducting a re-reading [of the Gospel] inclusive of the new data…"
How this "more complete" ET Gospel might deemphasize or significantly modify our understanding of salvation through Jesus Christ is unknown, but former Vatican Observatory vice director, Christopher Corbally, in his article "What if There Were Other Inhabited Worlds" concludes that Jesus simply might not remain the only Word of salvation: "I would try to explore the alien by letting 'it' be what it is, without rushing for a classification category, not even presuming two genders," Corbally said, before dropping this bombshell:
PIC ALPHA OMEGA
While Christ is the First and the Last Word (the Alpha and the Omega) spoken to humanity, he is not necessarily the only word spoke to the universe…. For, the Word spoken to us does not seem to exclude an equivalent 'Word' spoken to aliens. They, too, could have had their 'Logos-event'. Whatever that event might have been, it does not have to be a repeated death-and-resurrection, if we allow God more imagination than some religious thinkers seem to have had. For God, as omnipotent, is not restricted to one form of language, the human.
That high-ranking spokespersons for the Vatican have in recent years increasingly offered such language acknowledging the likelihood of extraterrestrial intelligence and the dramatic role ET's introduction to human civilization could play in regard to altering established creeds about anthropology, philosophy, religion, and redemption could be beyond consequential in the near-future.
WHAT THE EVANGELISTS OF ET KNOW THAT YOU DON'T
The New Evangelists of Ancient Astronauts.
The trend within modern religious and academic communities to accommodate emerging visions of astro-biology and astro-theology can be seen as the natural extension of a hypothesis (once considered heresy) made popular in the 1960s known as the Ancient Astronaut Theory. This notion claims that Homo sapiens (humans) arose as the result of advanced extraterrestrials visiting earth in ancient times and genetically upgrading hominid DNA. These beings were the progenitors of the creation myths according to this theory, including the Bible's revelations of "God."
In the introduction to his bestselling book, Chariots of the Gods?, Erich von Daniken, (who, it might be argued, is one of the fathers of modern ufology) said:
I claim that our forefathers received visits from the universe in the remote past, even though I do not yet know who these extra-terrestrial intelligences were or from which planet they came. I nevertheless proclaim that these 'strangers' annihilated part of mankind existing at the time and produced a new, perhaps the first, Homo sapiens.
As illustrated in such Hollywood films as Contact and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, von Daniken's hypothesis took America by storm in the '60s with the proposition that mankind was possibly the offspring of an ancient, perhaps ongoing, extra-terrestrial experiment. New Agers like Daniken assert that the myths of ancient gods—from Sumeria to Egypt, Greece, and beyond—are a crude record of this encounter with other-world beings. Ancient men would have considered space travelers as gods and would have recorded their arrival, their experiments, and their departure, in hieroglyphs, megaliths, and stone tablets, as a "supernatural" encounter between gods and men. Mr. Daniken continues:
While [the] spaceship disappears again into the mists of the universe our friends will talk about the miracle—"The gods were here!"…they will make a record of what happened: uncanny, weird, miraculous [sic]. Then their texts will relate—and drawings will show—that gods in golden clothes were there in a flying boat that landed with a tremendous din. They will write about chariots, which the gods drove over land and sea, and of terrifying weapons that were like lightning, and they will recount that the gods promised to return.
They will hammer and chisel in the rock pictures of what they had once seen: shapeless giants with helmets and rods on their heads, carrying boxes in front of their chests; balls on which indefinable beings sit and ride through the air; staves from which rays are shot out as if from a sun…"
Researchers like Von Daniken further claim that the odd appearance of some of the gods as depicted in various hieroglyphs (human-like creatures with falcon and eagle heads; lions with heads of bulls, etc.) could be viewed as evidence that "aliens" conducted genetic experiments and cross-mutations of both ancient people and animals.
It may surprise some to learn that many conservative theologians agree with this assessment, but hold that the "alien" invaders performing these procedures were, in fact, fallen angels, not advanced life forms from another galaxy. Scholars base this idea on historical records dating back to the beginning of time within every major culture of the ancient world where the remarkably consistent story is told of "gods" that descended from heaven and materialized in bodies of flesh.
From Rome to Greece—and before that, to Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Babylonia, and Sumer—the earliest records of civilization tell of the era when powerful beings known to the Hebrews as Watchers and in the book of Genesis as the benei ha-elohim (sons of God) mingled themselves with humans, giving birth to part-celestial, part-terrestrial hybrids known as Nephilim. The Bible says this happened when men began to increase on earth and daughters were born to them. When the sons of God saw the women's beauty, they took wives from among them to sire their unusual offspring.
In Genesis 6:4 we read the following account: "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
When this Scripture is compared with other ancient texts, including Enoch, Jubilees, Baruch, Genesis Apocryphon, Philo, Josephus, Jasher, and others, it unfolds to some that the giants of the Old Testament, such as Goliath, were the part-human, part-animal, part-angelic offspring of a supernatural interruption into the divine order and natural evolution of the species. The apocryphal Book of Enoch gives a name to the angels involved in this cosmic conspiracy, calling them "Watchers." We read:
And I Enoch was blessing the Lord of majesty and the King of the ages, and lo! the Watchers called me—Enoch the scribe—and said to me: "Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness, go, declare to the Watchers of the heaven who have left the high heaven, the holy eternal place, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives: Ye have wrought great destruction on the earth: And ye shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin: and inasmuch as they delight themselves in their children [the Nephilim], The murder of their beloved ones shall they see, and over the destruction of their children shall they lament, and shall make supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye not attain." (1 Enoch 10:3–8)
According to Enoch, two hundred of these powerful angels departed "high heaven" and used women (among other things) to extend their progeny into mankind's plane of existence. The Interlinear Hebrew Bible offers an interesting interpretation of Genesis 6:2 in this regard. Where the King James Bible says, "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair," the IHN interprets this as, "The benei Elohim saw the daughters of Adam, that they were fit extensions" (emphasis added). The term "fit extensions" seems applicable when the whole of the ancient record is understood to mean that the Watchers wanted to leave their proper sphere of existence in order to enter Earth's three-dimensional reality.
They viewed women—or at least their genetic material—as part of the formula for accomplishing this task. Departing the proper habitation that God had assigned them was grievous to the Lord and led to divine penalization. Jude described it this way: The "angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day" (Jude 6).
Besides apocryphal, pseudepigraphic, and Jewish traditions related to the legend of the Watchers and the "mighty men" born of their union with humans, mythologized accounts tell the stories of "gods" using humans to produce heroes or demigods (half-gods). When the ancient Greek version of the Hebrew Old Testament (the LXX or Septuagint) was made, the word "Nephilim"—referring to the part-human offspring of the Watchers—was translated gegenes, a word implying "Earth born." This same terminology was used to describe the Greek Titans and other legendary heroes of partly celestial and partly terrestrial origin, such as Hercules (born of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena), Achilles (the Trojan hero son of Thetis and Peleus), and Gilgamesh (the two-thirds god and one-third human child of Lugalbanda and Ninsun).
These demigods were likewise accompanied in texts and idol representation by half-animal and half-human creatures like centaurs (the part-human, part-horse offspring of Apollo's son, Centaurus), chimeras, furies, satyrs, gorgons, nymphs, Minotaur's, and other genetic aberrations. Historian Andrew Tomas believes these mythological records are "thought-fossils depicting the story of vanished cultures in symbols and allegories," or, as Stephen Quayle, in his book Genesis 6 Giants explains: "The collective memories in the form of myths, fables and fairy tales from various cultures and ages of mankind are overwhelming evidence that the Nephilim existed."
All of this indicates that the Watchers not only modified human DNA during the construction of Nephilim, but animals as well, a point the book of Enoch supports, saying in the seventh chapter that the fallen angels "sinned" against animals as well as humans.
Other books such as the Book of Jubilees add that this interspecies mingling eventually resulted in mutations among normal humans and animals whose "flesh" (genetic makeup) was "corrupted" by the activity, presumably through crossbreeding (see 5:1–5; 7:21–25). Even the Old Testament contains reference to the genetic mutations that developed among humans following this time frame, including "men" of unusual size, physical strength, six fingers, six toes, animal appetite for blood, and even lion-like features (2 Samuel 21:20; 23:20).
However, of all the ancient records, the most telling extra-biblical script is from the Book of Jasher, a mostly forgotten text referred to in the Bible in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. Jasher records the familiar story of the fall of the Watchers, and then adds an exceptional detail that none of the other texts is as unequivocal about, something that can only be understood in modern language to mean advanced biotechnology, genetic engineering, or "transgenic modification" of species. After the Watchers had instructed humans "in the secrets of heaven," note what Jasher says occurred:
[Then] the sons of men [began teaching] the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord. (Jasher 4:18)
The phrase "the mixture of animals of one species with the other" does not mean Watchers had taught men hybridization, as this would not have "provoked the Lord." God made like animals of different breeds capable of reproducing. For example, horses can propagate with other mammals of the equidae classification (the taxonomic "horse family"), including donkeys and zebras. It would not have "provoked the Lord" for this type of animal breeding to have taken place, as God, Himself, made the animals able to do this.
If, on the other hand, the Watchers were crossing species boundaries by mixing incompatible animals of one species with the other, such as a horse with a human (a centaur), this would have been a different matter and may cast light on the numerous ancient stories of mythical beings of variant-species manufacturing that fit perfectly within the records of what the Watchers were accomplishing. Understandably, this kind of chimera making would have "provoked the Lord," and raises the serious question of why the Watchers would have risked eternal damnation by tinkering with God's creation in this way. Yahweh had placed boundaries between the species and strictly ordered that "each kind" reproduce only after its "own kind." Was the motive of the Watchers to break these rules simply the desire to rebel, to assault God's creative genius through biologically altering what He had made? Or was something of deeper significance behind the activity?
Some believe the corruption of antediluvian DNA by Watchers was an effort to cut off the birth line of the Messiah. This theory posits that Satan understood the protoevangelium—the promise in Genesis 3:15 that a Savior would be born, the seed of the woman, and that He would destroy the fallen angel's power. Satan's followers therefore intermingled with the human race in a conspiracy to stop the birth of Christ.
If human DNA could be universally corrupted or "demonized," they reasoned, no Savior would be born and mankind would be lost forever. Those who support this theory believe this is why God ordered His people to maintain a pure bloodline and not to intermarry with the other nations. When Israel breached this command and the mutated DNA began rapidly spreading among men and animals, God instructed Noah to build an ark and to prepare for a flood that would destroy every living thing.
That God had to send such a universal fiat like the Flood illustrates how widespread the altered DNA eventually became. In fact, the Bible says in Genesis 6:9 that only Noah, and by extension his children, were found "perfect" in their generation. The Hebrew word for "perfect" in this case is tamiym, which means "without blemish" or "healthy," the same word used in Leviticus to describe an unblemished, sacrificial lamb.
The meaning was not that Noah was morally perfect, but that his physical makeup—his DNA—had not been contaminated with Nephilim descent, as apparently the rest of the world had become. In order to preserve mankind as He had made them, God destroyed all but Noah's family in the Flood. The ancient records, including those of the Bible, appear to agree with this theology, consistently describing the cause of the Flood as happening in response to "all flesh" having become "corrupted, both man and beast."
While I believe the theory of DNA corruption as an intended method for halting the coming of Christ has merit, an alternative (or additional) reason the Watchers may have blended living organisms exist. This theory is original with me and grew from my desire to incorporate the voluminous historical texts, which described this peculiar history, into a consistent account that corresponds with Scripture.
To harmonize the ancient records, I came to believe that the overriding motive for whatever the Watchers were doing with the DNA of various species had to be understood within the context of their foremost goal, which was to leave their plane of existence and to enter ours. My challenge then became to answer the question of how blending various species would satisfy this goal or provide the Watchers with a method of departure from "high heaven" and incarnation into man's "habitation."
While I will not take time here to explain every detail, I eventually hypothesized that the Watchers blended species in the way they did in order to create a unique body outside the divine order into which they could extend themselves. The rationale is that every creature as it existed originally had its beginning in God, who ordered each creature to reproduce "after its own kind." The phrase "after its own kind" verifies what kind of spirit or persona can enter into an intelligent being at conception.
When the sperm of a dog meets ovum of a dog and the life of a dog is formed, at the first spark of life the nature of a dog enters that embryo and it grows to become a dog in traits and form. The spirit of a man does not enter it, in the same way that a man is not born with the qualities of a horse or cow. This creature/nature integrity would have kept the Watchers, who wanted to incarnate within the earthly realm (not just "possess" creatures), from displacing the spirits of humans or the natures of animals and replacing them with their own.
How did they overcome this problem? Like scientists are doing today, it appears based on the ancient records that they blended existing DNA of several living creatures and made something that neither the spirit of man or nature of beast would enter at conception, for it was neither man nor beast. As the quarterly online travel guide Mysterious World, in its 2003 feature, "Giants in the Earth," noted:
The Nephilim were genetically manufactured beings created from the genetic material of various pre-existing animal species… The fallen angels did not personally interbreed with the daughters of men, but used their godlike intellect to delve into the secrets of YHWH's Creation and manipulate it to their own purposes. And the key to creating or recreating man, as we have (re) discovered in the twentieth century, is the human genome—DNA.
DO ALIEN-HUMAN HYBRIDS WALK AMONG US?
As discussed in Part 2 of this series, the manipulation of living tissue by ancient fallen angels led to superhuman hybridity made up of human and animal genetics known as Nephilim, an "Earth-born" facsimile or "fit extension" into which fallen angels incarnated. However, the long history of demonological phenomenon related to manipulation of biological matter suggests that versions of this curious activity have been ongoing ever since the Days of Noah.
Today, what some call "alien abduction," in which a breeding program allegedly exists resulting in alien/human hybrids, seems but a contemporary retelling of similar DNA harvesting and genetic manipulation by those mysterious beings whose activity was recorded throughout time. In his book, Confrontations—A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, highly regarded UFO researcher, Dr. Jacques F. Vallée, once phrased it this way: "Contact with [aliens is] only a modern extension of the age-old tradition of contact with nonhuman consciousness in the form of angels, demons, elves, and sylphs." Later, Vallée more closely identified the operative power behind "aliens" as equivalent to the fallen angels in the Days of Noah:
Are these races only semi-human, so that in order to maintain contact with us, they need crossbreeding with men and women of our planet? Is this the origin of the many tales and legends where genetics plays a great role: the symbolism of the Virgin in occultism and religion, the fairy tales involving human midwives and changelings, the sexual overtones of the flying saucer reports, the biblical stories of intermarriage between the Lord's angels, and terrestrial women, whose offspring were giants? [17]
Another highly respected and often quoted UFO researcher, John Keel, echoed the same when he stated in Operation Trojan Horse:
Demonology is not just another crackpot-ology. It is the ancient and scholarly study of the monsters and demons who have seemingly coexisted with man throughout history… The manifestations and occurrences described in this imposing literature are similar, if not entirely identical, to the UFO phenomenon itself. Victims of demonomania (possession) suffer the very same medical and emotional symptoms as the UFO contactees… The Devil and his demons can, according to the literature, manifest themselves in almost any form and can physically imitate anything from angels to horrifying monsters with glowing eyes. Strange objects and entities materialize and dematerialize in these stories, just as the UFOs and their splendid occupants appear and disappear, walk through walls, and perform other supernatural feats.
Associate professor of psychology Elizabeth L. Hillstrom, in her book Testing the Spirits, was even more inflexible on comparisons between "alien" experiences and historical demonic activity, quoting an impressive list of scholars from various disciplines who conclude the similarities between ETs and demons is unlikely coincidental. Hillstrom cites authorities of the first rank including Pierre Guerin, a scientist associated with the French National Council for Scientific Research, who believes "The modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical," and veteran researcher John Keel, who reckons, "The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon."
Then there is the question of alien-demoniality and Bible prophecy. When former college professor and BBC correspondent, Dr. I. D. E. Thomas, in his highly recommended book, The Omega Conspiracy, chronicled the burgeoning of so-called "alien abduction" activity in the 1980s, he made enlightening connections between the phenomenon and end-time prophecy concerning a return of the Nephilim, something other writers have since built upon. Documentation by "abductees" worldwide and the stories of DNA harvesting by "aliens" reminded him of the history of biological misuse by the Watchers. Dr. Thomas told me personally that the special desire by the "aliens" for human and animal molecular matter could explain "why animals have been killed, mutilated, and stolen by the aliens," a point Vallée repeated in his book, The Invisible College: What a Group of Scientists Has Discovered About UFO Influences on the Human Race, when he wrote:
In order to materialize and take definite form, these entities seem to require a source of energy…a living thing…a human medium… Our sciences have not reached a point where they can offer us any kind of working hypothesis for this process. But we can speculate that these beings need living energy, which they can reconstruct into physical form. Perhaps that is why dogs and animals tend to vanish in [UFO] flap areas. Perhaps the living cells of those animals are somehow used by the ultra terrestrials to create forms which we can see and sense with our limited perceptions.
Ultimately, Vallée and his contemporaries determined that whatever the modern alien presence represents, its goal is the collection of DNA for what appears to be a Breeding Program, followed by a Hybridization Program, and finally an Integration Program; this is exactly what Watchers accomplished with Nephilim in ancient times. Yet the purpose behind the alleged modern ET-human-hybridization agenda is so clouded in mystery that not even the world's most prestigious intelligence bureaus seem to fathom it—except of course if at above-top-secret levels there are Black Government Agencies participating with the alien entities in some sort of Cosmic Watergate wherein the breeding program transpires. Plenty of so-called whistle-blowers, books, and leaked files have suggested the same, but Vallée's suspicion is that many, if not most, of these "sources" are actually concoctions by complicit government proxies, which are disseminated in order to so completely muddle the factual objectives of the program with duplicity, half-truths, and subterfuge that the public can never really know what is happening. "There is a genuine UFO phenomenon and it is not explained by the revelations of alleged government agents bearing fancy code names like Condor or Falcon," he concluded in Revelations: Alien Contact and Human Deception.
But that a modern "alien" program of breeding and hybridizing humans is covertly occurring similar to what ancient Watchers did is something, no matter how absurd it may seem, a growing body of scholars, based on accumulative physical and eye-witness evidence, are coming around to.
In his book, Secret Life: Firsthand, Documented Accounts of UFO Abductions, Professor David M. Jacobs of Temple University combined scientific and investigatory methods to analyze the accounts of dozens of "abductees" including more than three hundred independently corroborated stories of such experiences, describing in unsettling detail the reproductive procedures that abductees claim were administered by "small alien beings." Jacobs' profoundly unsettling conclusion paralleled that of Vallée and others—that alien abductors are conducting complex reproductive experiments involving the conception, gestation, hybridization, and integration on Earth of alien hybrid beings.
Jacobs wrote:
[The aliens] want to use the ability humans have to recreate themselves. They want human sperm and eggs. They want human physical involvement with the offspring. They want complete knowledge of the reproductive physiological processes. [And this] abduction program appears to be vast. Abductees routinely report rooms with as many as two hundred tables holding humans in various stages of examination. The aliens hustle them out as soon as possible after the procedures are completed, presumably so that more humans can be brought in. The evidence suggests that this goes on twenty-four hours per day, month after month, year after year. The amount of time and energy invested in the breeding program is enormous.
Besides Jacobs and Vallée, other highly respected scientists who believed something unearthly was happening in connection to alien activity included: Dr. Josef Allen Hynek, the United States astronomer and professor in charge of Project Blue Book; Dr. Hermann Julius Oberth, one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics; Lynn E. Catoe, senior bibliographer for government publication research by the Library of Congress for the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research; and the late Harvard Medical School Professor and Pulitzer Prize-winner, Dr. John Edward Mack. After working with abduction "experiencers" including interviews with over one hundred people of various ages and backgrounds, Mack (who was run down by an automobile and killed after speaking at a symposium in London) showcased the narratives of thirteen subjects in astonishing detail in his book, Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens, where he reached very much the same conclusion as his peers:
What is amply corroborated is that the abduction phenomenon is in some central way involved in a breeding program that results in the creation of alien/human hybrid offspring… My own impression is that we may be witnessing…an awkward joining of two species, engineered by an intelligence we are unable to fathom.
Yet, if demons pretending to be aliens are actually behind a fantastic breeding and hybridization scheme, what would be their purpose? Biblical scholar and prophecy expert Gary Stearman believes they are dark overlords, come forth to repeat what happened in the Days of Noah, to create a generation of genetically altered pseudo-humans for the service of Satan in preparation of Armageddon. He points to Matthew 24:37, which says, "But as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Gary then goes on to elaborate:
Here, Jesus is clearly speaking of future judgment, the Tribulation, Second Coming and certain events that will surround it.
He says that His coming will happen at a time when social conditions will resemble those that plagued the world in the days of Noah. From Genesis 6, we now discern that these will include an invasion of dark forces from the heavens… The UFO abduction phenomenon is only a mask for fallen angels who have departed from their natural domain to engage in the filthy work of creating an alternate race that will act as their proxies… Now, as [in the Days of Noah], they pry into the forbidden areas of human procreation. Lascivious and power hungry, they seek to set up their own race, and their own province of control.
But only in the last fifty years have their activities acquired a speed and purpose that tells us what time it is, prophetically speaking. Jesus told us, in effect, that when we begin to see such things come to pass, His appearance would not be far behind. [24]
On the Watcher website, our friend David Flynn—whose early online research first broke many of today's most popular theories regarding the alien-hybrid scheme as an end-times deception aimed at misleading mankind—reaffirms the warnings made by Gary Stearman:
The Book of Enoch explains that the Sons of God descended first onto the mountain called Hermon… The rebel angels intended to thwart God's plan for the earth by destroying the descendants of Adam. Satan's goal in organizing the Nephilim/human hybridization program was to pollute the bloodline that would produce Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Kinsman Redeemer.
Now that it is so close to the end times, Satan has orchestrated human/rebel angel interaction on a grand scale. The plan is now to prevent any flesh from being saved. By manipulating human genetics, whether through the guise of "alien abduction" or by supplying willing mortal accomplices with the proper technology…there is currently being created humanoid hybrids who are not-quite-human… The second wave of hybrid "Nephilim creation" is Satan's last effort to destroy all Sons of Adam, so that none can be redeemed when Jesus Christ returns at the End of the Age.

Does a curious verse in the book of Daniel hint that Stearman and Flynn may be on to something? Speaking of the last days of human government, Daniel said:
They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. (Daniel 2:43)
While Daniel does not explain who "they" that "mingle themselves with the seed of men" are, the personal pronoun "they" caused Chuck Missler and Mark Eastman, in their book, Alien Encounters, to ask: "Just what (or who) are 'mingling with the seed of men?' Who are these Non-seed? It staggers the mind to contemplate the potential significance of Daniel's passage and its implications for the future global governance."
Daniel's verse troubled Missler and Eastman because it seemed to indicate that the same phenomenon that occurred in Genesis chapter 6—where non-human species or "non-seed" mingled with human seed and produced Nephilim—would happen again in the end times. When this verse from Daniel is coupled with Genesis 3:15, which says, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed [zera, meaning "offspring," "descendents," or "children"] and her seed," an incredible tenet emerges—that Satan has seed, and that it is at enmity with Christ.
To "mingle" non-human seed with Homo sapiens through altering human DNA while simultaneously returning Nephilim to earth has been the inspiration of the spirit of Antichrist ever since God halted the practice of genetic manipulation during the Great Flood. According to Louis Pauwells and Jacques Bergier in The Dawn of Magic, this was certainly the goal of the antichrist spirit that possessed Adolf Hitler:
Hitler's aim was neither the founding of a race of supermen, nor the conquest of the world; these were only means towards the realization of the great work he dreamed of. His real aim was to perform an act of creation, a divine operation, the goal of a biological mutation, which would result in an unprecedented exaltation of the human race and the "apparition of a new race of heroes and demigods and god-men."
One cannot read the conclusion by Pauwells and Bergier regarding Hitler's Antichrist ambition without calling to mind that from the Middle Ages forward, church leaders have believed the Antichrist would ultimately represent the return of the Nephilim—the reunion of demons with humans. St. Augustine himself wrote of such demoniality in the City of God, [28] and in the De Daemonialitate, et Incubus, et Succubi, Fr. Ludovico Maria Sinistrari de Amino (1622–1701) also perceived the coming of Antichrist as representing the biological hybridization of demons with humans. "To theologians and philosophers," he wrote, "it is a fact, that from the copulation of humans with the demon…Antichrist must be born."
The English theologian George Hawkins Pember agreed with this premise, and in his 1876 masterpiece, Earth's Earliest Ages, he analyzed the prophecy of Christ that says the end-times would be a repeat of "the Days of Noah." Pember outlined the seven great causes of the antediluvian destruction and documented their developmental beginnings in his lifetime. Like Gary Stearman, he concluded that the seventh and most fearful sign would be the return of the Nephilim—"The appearance upon earth of beings from the Principality of the Air, and their unlawful intercourse with the human race."
Thus, it appears those social, spiritual, and academic intellectuals who now believe we are close to integration with intelligent alien life (and who also believe that this discovery could ultimately reconfigure established doctrines of science, religion, and salvation) may be closer to the truth than some of them have imagined. Events unfolding over the past decade portend a near future in which "alien influences" led by a man of unusual intelligence will arrive on Earth as champions of a "new" Gospel.
Numerous Scriptures foretold the otherworldly leader's coming for what he actually is—paganism's ultimate incarnation; the "beast" of Revelation 13:1. As Jesus Christ was the "seed of the woman" (Genesis 3:15), the Antichrist will be the "seed of the serpent."
This brings me to my final point for this entry: Daniel the prophet may have provided an important clue for identifying this false savior at his arrival. Daniel 11:39 says he will be a worshipper of the god of forces—a god whom his fathers knew not, a text that literally means, an alien god.
For now the world watches…and waits…for contact.
