Veteran researcher and author L. A. Marzulli says President Donald Trump’s announcement regarding the release of government files on UFOs and extraterrestrial life may signal what he has long warned about: a coming global spiritual deception.
In a recent video update, Marzulli reacted to a post he says came from Trump’s official platform, stating that the president would direct federal agencies to begin identifying and releasing files related to “alien and extraterrestrial life,” unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and UFOs.
As Marzulli pointed out, people stayed away from the topic for years. “Now the President of the United States has stated they’re going to investigate the whole UAP-UFO phenomenon. It’s happening,” he said.
A New ‘Rung of Disclosure’?
Marzulli tied this moment to the approaching anniversary of the 1947 Roswell incident, long debated as either a weather balloon mishap or something more mysterious.
“Is it full disclosure? No, not yet,” he said. “But it’s coming down.”
According to Marzulli, any official release of documentation would represent a seismic shift in the global worldview.
“When disclosure is revealed, it changes everything,” he said. “It changes the entire global paradigm in a nanosecond. All of a sudden, we’re not alone anymore.”
‘The Coming Great Deception’
Marzulli framed the issue not primarily as political or scientific, but spiritual.
Quoting 1 Timothy 4, he warned: “The Spirit expressly states that in the latter days some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.”
For Marzulli, the UFO phenomenon is not evidence of advanced alien civilizations, but rather what he believes to be supernatural deception preparing the world for end-times events.
“I truly believe this is the coming great deception,” he said. “This is a mega lever. This changes everything.”
He pointed to escalating global instability—“wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilence, earthquakes in diverse places”—as further evidence that humanity is living in what he called “the last of the last days.”
Israel as the ‘Prophetic Time Clock’
Marzulli also reiterated his long-held theological position that Israel serves as “God’s prophetic time clock.”
“How do we know we’re there?” he asked. “Israel is God’s prophetic time clock. End of story.”
While acknowledging corruption among nations, including Israel, he cited biblical prophecy that “at some point in the near future, they will look on Him whom they have pierced”—a reference to Zechariah’s prophecy about national recognition of Jesus.
A Challenge to the Church
Perhaps most pointedly, Marzulli questioned how segments of the Christian community would respond if disclosure were to occur.
“How does the Christian church bounce back from that?” he asked. “When the global paradigm shifts overnight?”
For decades, Marzulli has argued that the UFO phenomenon will play a central role in shaping end-times belief systems. Now, with growing public discussion about UAPs at the governmental level, he believes that conversation is no longer fringe.
“UFOs are real, burgeoning, not going away,” he concluded. “This is the coming great deception.”
Marzulli’s warning showcases a broader question facing believers: if the world’s understanding of reality shifts, will faith remain anchored in Scripture—or be swept up in what he sees as a powerful and persuasive delusion?
