Evangelical pastors close to conservative political circles are warning that the upcoming release of government UFO files could leave some Christians questioning the Bible's creation story.
The concern follows US President Donald Trump's push to declassify long-secret UAP records, with the first wave of documents expected anytime. While officials have promised reports, videos and intelligence files related to unexplained aerial phenomena, some religious leaders say the larger fear is spiritual confusion.
The controversy centres on Trump's February 2026 order directing the Pentagon, FBI and intelligence agencies to review and release government records connected to UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena, now commonly called UAPs.
Trump has repeatedly hinted the files contain 'very interesting' information that has never been publicly seen before.FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed this weekthat the first batch of material had already been delivered to a government review committee and that public releases would begin 'very soon.'
Officials are expected to release pilot encounter reports, military footage and declassified investigative records in stages over the coming weeks. Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Tim Burchett and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, have also pushed for broader disclosure.
Despite growing speculation online, most experts and former investigators do not expect the files to contain direct proof of extraterrestrial life.
The strongest warnings have come fromTennessee evangelist Perry Stone, who claims a small group of influential pastors recently attended a private briefing connected to the upcoming disclosures.
Speaking during a 27 April YouTube broadcast,
'You're going to have people who are going to say if there are galaxies and there are allegedly other creations in the galaxies, then the whole creation story is a myth,' Stone said. 'You're going to have people that's going to apostatise and turn from the Christian faith because they have no answer for what they're about to hear.'
Stone also claimed those present at the meeting were warned aboutpossible revelations involving unidentified craft, unknown materials and 'reptilian' beings.
