The government may be talking about UFOs, UAPs and “non-human intelligence,” but retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Paul Bock says Christians need to pay attention to something much deeper taking shape beneath the disclosure conversation.
In an interview with Amanda Grace, Bock, author of The Disclosure Agenda, warned that what appears on the surface to be curiosity surrounding unexplained phenomena is developing spiritual dimensions—and he believes the church cannot afford to ignore them.
Grace opened the discussion by pointing to the growing amount of government information surrounding UAPs and UFOs. Bock, however, said his concern isn’t simply identifying strange objects in the sky. It is what people are beginning to believe because of them.
Bock said a religion has effectively formed around the phenomenon, with its own influential voices, practices and people claiming they have been commissioned by purported entities to spread their messages.
And that is where things become spiritually serious.
While Bock was careful not to definitively connect the movement to a particular end-times prophecy, he described what is happening as “a very, very, very well played out deception by the enemy.”
Bock believes decades of cultural exposure to UFOs have helped prepare people to accept increasingly spiritual explanations for the phenomenon. At the same time, he says society has developed a renewed hunger for the supernatural.

Now those two worlds are colliding.
The danger, he argues, is that people claiming encounters with non-human intelligence are offering answers about spirituality, supernatural knowledge and even methods allegedly designed to initiate contact with these entities. Some of the practices Bock discussed bear striking similarities to activities Scripture explicitly warns believers against, including divination and attempts to communicate with spirits.
Yet Bock says the deception can be especially seductive because some people claim these encounters produce knowledge, extraordinary experiences or even healing.
“How can it be evil if it is…giving me all these benefits?” Bock asked, describing the question Christians may encounter.
That is precisely why discernment matters.
Scripture warns that Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. Something appearing supernatural—or even beneficial—does not automatically mean its source is God.
Bock repeatedly pointed believers to passages such as 1 John 4, Galatians 1:8, and 1 Thessalonians 5, emphasizing Scripture’s command to test spiritual claims rather than accept them blindly.
And ultimately, Bock’s warning isn’t a call for Christians to become UFO experts.
It calls for them to become biblically grounded.
“We don’t know the Word of God,” Bock warned, arguing that believers immersed in Scripture will be better equipped to recognize teachings that contradict the gospel. His concern is that Christians without that foundation could become vulnerable as supernatural claims move further into mainstream culture.
But this isn’t only about protecting the church.
It is about reaching the lost.
Bock says Christians must be prepared to share Christ with people already immersed in these beliefs and experiences. Instead of retreating from the conversation, the church has an opportunity to bring the gospel directly into it.
As Grace reminded viewers, believers are called to be “watchmen on the wall”—proclaiming Jesus Christ and warning against deception.
The UFO conversation may be changing rapidly, but the Christian response does not have to.
Know the Word. Test the spirits. And above all, keep pointing people back to Jesus Christ.
