Pastor: U.S. Intel Warned Christian Leaders That Trump's "Alien Files" Release Could Shatter Beliefs Zero-Point energy? Hologram theory? Consciousness is actually remote controlling our bodies via quantum microtubules in our squishy brains? How about all those dead scientists ? Whatever reality is , the steady drumbeat of UFO 'disclosures' now apparently includes religious leaders , who are being 'read in' on some plan for a 2027 disclosure. Maybe project Blue Beam is ready for prime time... Perry Stone, an influential pastor and author based in Tennessee, claimed that U.S. intelligence officials told Christian leaders to brace their congregations for the federal government’s imminent disclosures regarding extraterrestrial beings, warning that the shocking findings could shake the foundation of their faith. In a recent video, Stone alleged that the pastors were briefed on unidentified flying objects and so-called “reptilians” in the possession of the government. The claim follows President Trump’s order directing the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to release all information the government possesses on aliens. "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 , and you're going to have people that's going to apostatize and turn from the Christian faith because they have no answer for what they're about to hear,’ Stone said. 🚨Report: Pastor Perry Stone said a large group of pastors was invited to a secret meeting with individuals from the US government telling them to prepare their churches for UFO disclosure: “There's going to be a release concerning aliens. You need to prepare your people.” pic.twitter.com/ctUFpMNc2p — The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) May 6, 2026 Stone added that non-believers could be so shaken by the findings that religious leaders will see a flood of people coming to them seeking answers.
