I have just read most comments here. I don't get it. Who here is really supporting UFOs? It seems to me that what has been expressed so far is that it is demonic and empirically unreliable. If it is demonic, the metaphysical aspects of observation would be one of perception of a spiritual event. I can believe Angels and Demons exist, but I don't think they are going to be put into a test-tube and disected.

To me, a presentation of an apparation can be caused by several things, and I will include UFO encounters rather than sightings. Firstly, it could be someone just ate at a restaurant that Adam Richman visited and consumed the food challenge. I wonder if eating the "Four Horseman Challenge" in San Antonio, TX would seriously alter one's perception after suffering over the jalapeno, serrano, habanero and naga bhut jolokia chile peppers.

Secondly, it could be psychological. Some people are looking for it, openly imagining it, and a dream state with such intensity may just seem real to them. Ever been in a deep dream where you felt it was almost real? Well, it was real... it was a real live experience of dreaming.

Thirdly, I would have to say demonic. However, demonic activity has a devious intent. To draw people away from God is the foremost reason. If there is a specific message within UFO encounters, I would have to say it would draw people away from God. If we ***ume there are E.T.s out there, the technology of travel would increase dependency on science with a religious fever pitch. If a US missile, HTV2 can reach a whopping Mach 20 speed roughly 13,000 mph, how would one sustain a travel speed of even greater and reliable intensity to make a UFO possible? I do not think "light" can push matter, but it sure feels good on the face when at the pool.

How a Catholic Bishop can believe in UFOs is beyond my comprehension... perhaps he needs to start taking his medication and laying off the burritos.
