UFO Researcher Claims Belief in God After Investigating 700 Abduction Cases

A UFO researcher claims that his investigation into approximately 700 alleged alien abduction cases led him to a profound belief in God and Christianity. Joe Jordan, a 72-year-old safety professional for the Blue Origin Rocket Factory in Florida, has spent 32 years researching UFO sightings and abduction claims.

Jordan told the Daily Mail that survivors of these alleged abductions reported that their experiences immediately ceased without further harm when they invoked the names of Jesus or God. This recurring testimony, he stated, convinced him of the reality of a higher power and the Bible.

He posits that sightings of extraterrestrials may actually be spiritual visitations, a belief shared by some within the religious community who interpret such phenomena as demonic. Jordan suggests that these entities are spiritual beings from another realm hostile to humanity, and that the 'abduction' is merely a disguised visionary experience.

According to Jordan, abduction experiences often occur after an individual has engaged with practices deemed occult or contrary to religious teachings. He noted that many experiencers reported dabbling in the occult, the paranormal, or even the UFO phenomenon itself, which he believes opened the door for these encounters.

Jordan's research began in the 1990s after reading about the Roswell incident. He joined the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in 1992, working as a field investigator. MUFON is one of the oldest UFO research organizations, with hundreds of investigators in the U.S. alone.

Jordan's focus shifted to abduction accounts, and a pivotal case involved an individual who described a dark experience with satanic overtones. This person reportedly cried out, "Jesus, Jesus, help me!" and the experience immediately stopped. This account contradicted the prevailing view among researchers at the time, who believed such experiences could not be halted.

Jordan claims that many UFO researchers have encountered similar stories of prayers or calls to Jesus stopping abductions, but these accounts are rarely shared publicly. He suggested that some researchers fear damaging their standing within the UFO community by discussing such spiritual elements.

Before embracing Christianity, Jordan described himself as a "New Age practitioner." However, he recalled a fellow investigator warning him about engaging with "sinister and dark forces" and subsequently handing him a Bible. In November 1996, Jordan became a Christian.

The idea that UFOs might be demonic has gained traction, with figures like Vice President JD Vance expressing similar views. Experts such as parapsychologist Hal Puthoff and ufologist Jacques Vallee have also explored the demonic UFO hypothesis for decades.

Despite these claims, the U.S. government has historically maintained that there is no evidence to prove the existence of UFOs or alien life, a stance that continues even as the Pentagon engages in UFO disclosure efforts. Skepticism surrounding alien contact remains high, though the discussion around UFOs has broadened to include concepts like "non-human" phenomena, interdimensional, extradimensional, and ultradimensional entities, moving beyond a purely extraterrestrial explanation.
