A pastor who claims to have attended a secret meeting in Tennessee in February has described seeing images of non-human beings presented by individuals working with groups investigating unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) and reverse-engineered craft. Pastor Joseph Zupetz stated that he and five other Christian influencers were shown clear images of tall, lanky, light-beings, some resembling "humanoid squid-type things." IMAGE2
Zupetz, who was among several faith leaders allegedly briefed by former government officials ahead of declassified file releases, suggested that the information presented far surpasses the declassified UFO files released by the government. He characterized the government's gradual release of UAP-related content as a strategy to create "normalcy bias" in the public, preparing them for a more significant reveal. "They're going to continue to drip these things, drop them slowly, and it's not going to be shock and awe in the beginning," Zupetz said. "Eventually, they will bring out an entity, a non-human biologic that they will either have speaking or communicating with, and when they do this, then it's going to be a little more shaking."
According to Zupetz, the meeting attendees were warned that information expected to be released this year could have profound implications for Christian beliefs. He shared images of six glowing orbs that he claims surrounded his plane as he departed the Tennessee gathering. During the flight, the aircraft reportedly experienced violent shaking, leading passengers to pray, after which the orbs disappeared. Zupetz believes this encounter was linked to the meeting and described it as potentially "demonic." IMAGE1 IMAGE4
The Pentagon's primary UAP investigative unit has stated that most reported phenomena are attributable to explainable causes such as balloons, drones, and birds. Despite ongoing releases of declassified documents, images, and videos from agencies like NASA, the U.S. government maintains there is no definitive physical proof of alien existence. However, Zupetz and other faith leaders propose an alternative theory, referring to unexplained craft, orbs, and figures as evidence of "fallen angel technology" or interdimensional abilities. "I believe that they are fallen angel tech, or it is interdimensional abilities afforded to angels, rogue spirits or demonic powers that can manifest and appear," Zupetz stated. He suggested a potential agenda where these entities might claim to have seeded humanity and seek to "enlighten" people with a revised understanding of religious texts. IMAGE6
Zupetz advised believers encountering unexplained phenomena to invoke the name of Jesus, believing genuine entities would respond positively while deceptive ones would react negatively. He also referenced comments made by director Steven Spielberg regarding the potential impact of alien disclosure on religious faith, suggesting a narrative that could become increasingly critical of Christianity. Spielberg, in a CBS News interview, pondered whether God's domain is limited to Earth or extends to other civilizations. "When this disclosure happens, it's the narrative attached to it that'll become more and more negative towards Christianity," Zupetz commented. IMAGE3 IMAGE5
Evangelist Tony Merkel confirmed to the Daily Mail that he helped organize and attended one of the meetings, with the aim of preparing Christian leaders for potential alien disclosure. The third tranche of declassified files was released on June 12, containing hundreds of pages of documents, images, videos, and audio recordings. Zupetz noted that these initial releases have not significantly impacted him or his followers, reinforcing his belief in a slow-burn disclosure strategy. IMAGE2
