As the global push toward disclosure continues, a Catholic nun is warning that many reported alien encounters may be rooted in the spiritual realm rather than visitors from distant planets.
Speaking on her podcast, Mother Miriam said she believes many alleged UFO sightings are better explained by fallen angels than extraterrestrial beings.
“I think sooner look at the demonic side than the extraterrestrial,” Mother Miriam said, according to the Daily Mail.
She called fallen angels the “best explanation” for many UFO sightings and alleged alien encounters.
“The Catholic position, there is such a thing as extraterrestrial intelligence,” she said. “These creatures really are from another world, the spiritual world. They’re what we call angels.”

Mother Miriam warned that an intense fascination with UFOs and paranormal phenomena can become a distraction from God.
“If they can get people wrapped up in theories of alien visitations and extraterrestrial visitors to Earth, if they can get them absorbed and fascinated by any number of paranormal phenomena and distracted from God, they will have succeeded in their diabolical mission to deceive and to destroy,” she said.
She also acknowledged the Catholic Church has not definitively ruled out extraterrestrial life, saying, “It’s possible there are other planets. The church is not definitive on that.”
Her comments come less than a month after Monsignor Stephen Rossetti was removed from his role as an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington after publicly linking many UFO sightings to demonic activity. Cardinal Robert McElroy said Rossetti’s statements “linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism.”
Rossetti later asked forgiveness “for any ways that I have not been faithful to the teachings of the Church’s Magisterium” and reaffirmed his commitment to Church authority. Whether Mother Miriam’s remarks will prompt any response from Catholic leadership remains to be seen.
The ongoing conversation surrounding disclosure should drive us deeper into God’s Word, not into fear or speculation. Scripture warns that a time of great deception is coming, declaring, “God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false” (2 Thess. 2:11-12).
Whatever unfolds as disclosure continues, it does not change who Jesus Christ is. He remains Lord, His Word remains true, and He is coming again just as He promised. As questions surrounding UFOs and non-human intelligence continue to grow, we should be prepared to answer them with biblical truth, pointing people to the gospel above every other narrative.
