119. Will Congress Disclose the UFOs Our Favorite Alien Stories Ask Us to Believe In? | with Colin Samul

While government leaders debate laws about human life, some U.S. leaders and military pilots wonder if they’ve seen extraterrestrial ships.
Fantastical Truth on Jul 5, 2022 · Series: Armies of the Aliens · No comments

Last month we heard some mighty and seemingly impossible news about human life. That means government leaders, especially in the United States, will probably focus more on human life. But what about supposed life that is not human? Yes, we’re talking about them aliens. This May the U.S. Congress held a hearing about evidence for UFOs, or lack thereof. They had expert witnesses and non-revelations and subtle revelations and everything. In the future, will national leaders give us the revelation that some science fiction assumes we’ll discover?

Com station

DJ M-Pro commented on YouTube, Ep 63:

You both haven’t watched any of the videos or looked up the case files where people have seen UFOs and had contact with aliens. Do the research. I’m a Christian and there are aliens living among us. Do the research. God created the universe. Aliens built the pyramids. Aliens are not Satanic or demonic. God created everything. Aliens included.

Next on Fantastical Truth

Freedom. We all say we believe in this. No one’s out there saying “down with that sort of thing.” But how does the Bible define freedom and how do Christian fantasy fans find this virtue reflected and challenged in our favorite fictions? With cohost Zack Russell taking to the free roads this July, Stephen takes over the studio, launching for a solo show about Galatians 5:13 and one truth all heroes must follow: with great freedom, comes great responsibility.
