In recent months, public fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrials has taken an unexpected turn--from late-night talk shows to the halls of Congress. Lawmakers like J.D. Vance, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Senator Marco Rubio have openly discussed the possibility that what many call "aliens" might, in fact, be something spiritual--perhaps even demonic.
