Tucker Carlson, a Fox News commentator and one-time host of MSNBC, says that spiritual entities could be piloting UFOs in a supernatural theory.
Spiritual Entities Piloting UFOs?
The host made such bizarre claims during a podcast episode of comedian Joe Rogan. Carlson shared to the podcast listeners that there is grave evidence that these UFOs are under the ground and ocean, adding that they have been here for quite a long time.
These latest comments echo a refrain from lawmakers who are UFO-curious. These include Eric Burlison, a Congressman of Missouri, and Tim Burhcett, a GOP legislator. Both of them compared UFOs to Biblical entities last year.
Rep. Burchett shared in January 202 that Ezekiel's first chapter is quite a clear UFO sighting. This claim was ahead of bringing whistleblowers to testify before the Congress. Rep. Burlinson also added that when using the term "angels," it seems similar to him as an extra dimensional being.
It appears that Carlson earnestly cosigned such claims during his podcast appearance. He also pleaded ignorance regarding the many questions regarding the issue that remain unanswered.
He shares that they are from Earth and that they have been around for thousands of years, whatever they may do. He also adds that it's quite clear to him that these UFOs are spiritual entities, whatever this could mean.
The broadcaster shared that the term "supernatural" meant that the beings could be above nature that is observable and that their behaviors do not align with the laws of science.
Religious Theories About UFOs
However, speculations that connect UFOs with various religious visitations and interdimensional theories have been recurring since the early 20th century. The concept received its most reputable and highest profile with the publication of the "Passport to Magonia: flor Folklore to Flying Saucers" book in 1969. It was authored by Jacques Vallée, an internet pioneer and astronomer.
Vallée spent years looking into huge amounts of ancient texts for the revolutionary tome. He connected 1180 different encounters that were reported in Japan, Roman accounts of shields that were hovering, and Native American narratives of baskets from heaven to argue that there is a continuation of cases pertaining to modern flying sauces.
In recent years, he also published a study on a UFO crash's physical evidence. Vallée has also become a computer scientist and Silicon Valley venture capitalist. He also hopes that the study will serve as a template for serious UFO research.
However, there have also been similar arguments that have taken a less scholarly approach. Such arguments associate UFOs with angelic miracles or demonic entities. They have been relayed in TV shows such as "Ancient Aliens" and have been talked about by several evangelical Christians and conspiracy theorists.
For one, Brian Allan, the editor at Phenomena Magazine, once talked with Anglican Pastor Ray Boeche, who thinks that a faction in the Pentagon thinks that UFOs result from demonic forces.
