Abstract
A rising challenge to Christianity, both within and beyond the borders of America, springs from the popular obsession with UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) and ETI (Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life). Growing numbers of UFO and ETI cults, some overly religious, others with the pretense of purely scientific endeavor, preach their own message of salvation for the human race, a message that directly contradicts-and overtly targets-the gospel of Jesus Christ.
