Evangelists claim U.S. intelligence secretly briefed pastors on UFO files that could brand the Bible’s creation story a myth, sparking mass faith crises.

Perry Stone’s Bombshell Claim

Perry Stone, Tennessee evangelist and Bible teacher, disclosed that U.S. intelligence officials invited six pastors to a secret meeting in an unspecified state. Officials briefed them on classified UFO files, videos, and reports of non-human intelligence. Stone says these revelations target religious leaders first to equip them for congregational reactions. He urges preparation because evidence of extraterrestrial craft could undermine biblical accounts of creation. Common sense demands verification, but Stone’s track record warrants caution on unproven prophecies.

Trump’s Declassification Directive

President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in February 2026 to release all UFO and alien-related information. At a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix last April, Trump promised the first files would emerge very soon, calling them very interesting. This executive push builds on years of UAP reports, yet AARO maintains no verifiable extraterrestrial evidence exists. Conservative values favor transparency, but rushed disclosures risk unnecessary panic without context.

Pastors Predict Faith Shaking Fallout

Stone warns that UFO proof will prompt many to dismiss Genesis as myth, leading to widespread apostasy. Non-believers might flood churches in panic, seeking guidance. Bishop Alan DiDio labels it a spiritual trap, potentially luring Christians away from inerrancy. Evangelical networks, representing 25% of U.S. adults, face division between curiosity and defense of Scripture. Historical precedents like Heaven’s Gate show how UFO hype can destabilize faith communities overnight.

Unconfirmed Briefings Fuel Speculation

Intelligence agencies allegedly aim to manage public reaction through pastoral channels, avoiding mass hysteria. No DoD or AARO statements confirm these meetings or pastor involvement. Stories broke May 6 via Daily Mail, amplified by Stone’s statements. AARO’s 2025 reports analyzed over 1,000 UAPs, finding zero linked to aliens—only unexplained anomalies. Facts align with skepticism; unverified claims echo past evangelical predictions that fizzled without evidence.

Pastors Told to Prepare‼️👽🛸

Per pastor Perry Stone, “a large number” of pastors were invited to a meeting with individuals from the US government telling them to prepare for UFO disclosure:

Theological Defenses and Broader Impacts

Theologians like Hugh Ross argue aliens fit as God’s broader creation, compatible with Genesis. SETI’s Seth Shostak calls ET discovery a non-issue for faith, akin to Galileo’s era. Short-term, churches split; long-term, secularization accelerates amid declining U.S. Christianity. Trump’s base polarizes—transparency supporters versus faith guardians. Economic ripples hit ministries, while UFO media booms. American conservatives prize biblical authority; any real threat merits measured response over hype.
