UFOs in Iran—Demonic Forces & End Times
Have you ever wondered if the countless stories of UFOs, alien encounters, and inexplicable phenomena are more than just modern myths or sci-fi fantasies? What if these strange experiences have roots that go deeper—much deeper—into our ancient past and spiritual traditions? On a thought-provoking episode of Things Visible and Invisible, Sean speaks with Ali Siatani, founder of Think Again Productions, who weaves together his personal UFO encounter with extensive biblical scholarship to suggest there's more to the UFO question than meets the eye.
The Encounter That Changed Everything
Ali’s journey began on a deserted Iranian highway late at night in December 1999. While traveling with his father and stepmother, he witnessed an immense green-lit sphere descending from the sky, accompanied by a mysterious black cylinder rising from the ground. In a blink, the sphere vanished, and silence fell over the car—except for the screamed realization from Ali’s stepmother, calling it a sign from God. This visceral and clear-sighted experience shook Ali to his core and propelled him into a journey that bridged the realms of science fiction, biblical prophecy, and ancient history.
Searching for Meaning: From UFO Sighting to Biblical Research
Back home in Canada, Ali's curiosity exploded. Unlike many UFO witnesses who turn to purely extraterrestrial explanations or new-age beliefs, Ali found himself called to look through a spiritual lens, specifically a biblical one. He dove into the testimony of others online, discovering hundreds of people with similar stories, yet fearing ridicule due to cultural skepticism. But Ali's faith provided him a different launchpad. As a Christian fascinated by scriptural mysteries and untouched by simplistic, fairytale ideas of angels, he began to ask: What if these UFO encounters align with something ancient and profound?
UFOs, Ancient Myths, and the Angelic Realm
Instead of dismissing UFOs as either hoaxes or simply new technology, Ali’s investigation led him to a surprising realization: the language the Bible uses to describe angels and heavenly phenomena is far richer and more complex than most people, including many scholars, acknowledge. The Hebrew word “Elohim,” often translated as “God” or “gods,” is a plural term encompassing all spiritual beings—good and bad—capable of wielding authority, knowledge, and yes, even using “vehicles” that could easily match the modern description of spacecraft. Biblical stories of Elijah's fiery chariot, Ezekiel’s wheels, and angelic armies bear striking resemblance to some of the most famous UFO accounts.
Ali argues that what ancient peoples described in terms of heavenly hosts, gods, and angels may not be so different from today's UFO sightings. The key, he suggests, is realizing that the biblical world was replete with encounters between mortals and supernatural beings—sometimes benevolent, sometimes deeply sinister. The reduction of angels in Western art and thought to childlike figures with tiny wings, Ali says, is a far cry from the powerful, often fearsome beings the biblical texts actually describe.
Fallen Angels, Hybrids, and Technology—What’s Really Behind UFO Phenomena?
Digging deeper, Ali draws connections between modern alien abduction accounts and ancient biblical tales of “sons of God” (Benha Elohim) mingling with humans to produce hybrids—the notorious Nephilim. He points to the recurring biblical motif of angels not just as messengers or helpers, but as beings engaged in cosmic warfare, imparting forbidden knowledge, and even working to control or guide the evolution of civilizations.
Modern research, including the work of Ivy League and medical scholars such as Dr. John Mack and Dr. David Jacobs, has documented abduction accounts where many subjects describe the creation of hybrid offspring—eerily echoing ancient narratives. Instead of viewing abductions and UFOs as the actions of benign extraterrestrials, Ali believes these experiences can only be properly understood as part of an ongoing spiritual battle described in religious texts. For him, the UFO question must be viewed through the same lens as prophetic warnings in Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation—a battle between the forces of light and darkness, with humanity caught in the middle.
The UFO Renaissance—Why This Matters Now
Over the past few decades, cultural interest in UFOs has exploded once again, fueled by government disclosures, viral documentaries, and a growing number of personal testimonies. As this “UFO renaissance” gains mainstream attention, new movements and even religions have emerged, some portraying extraterrestrials as humanity’s saviors. Ali warns that, just as ancient peoples sometimes mistook powerful spiritual beings for gods, today’s society may be walking a similar path by embracing UFOs and the beings behind them with uncritical reverence.
Yet, Ali’s approach isn’t merely to demonize every unexplained phenomenon. Instead, he proposes discernment: in biblical terms, both good and malevolent spiritual beings interact with our world—sometimes through means that appear technological, sometimes through direct spiritual influence. Not every unexplained craft in the sky is evil, nor are all angelic encounters benign. The key, he says, is understanding the agenda behind these manifestations.
Reframing Reality—Spirituality, Technology, and Our Place in the Cosmos
Ali challenges both believers and skeptics to “think again” about the nature of reality. The thrust of his message is not to reject science or embrace superstition, but to recognize that our universe is suffused with mystery—and that dismissing ancient testimonies as primitive superstition may blind us to profound truths about our origins and destiny. The rapid leaps in knowledge and civilization, both in ancient Mesopotamia and the modern industrial age, may trace back not just to human ingenuity but to the influences of powerful unseen forces—the same forces described in religious texts and mythologies worldwide.
Ali’s unique perspective, merging personal experience, rigorous research, and spiritual wisdom, invites us to consider a bolder, more interconnected vision of history—one where the things visible and invisible collide, shaping not only our beliefs but the very fabric of our civilizations.
Conclusion: A World of Mystery Still Unfolding
Whether you’re a skeptic, believer, or curious seeker, the intersection of UFO phenomena, spiritual experience, and ancient texts remains one of the most intriguing questions facing humanity today. Ali encourages us all to look beyond the easy answers—whether materialistic or mystical—and to weigh the evidence with open eyes and discerning hearts. After all, as he discovered, sometimes the most extraordinary mysteries are hiding in plain sight, waiting for those willing to seek, question, and, above all, think again.
