The astronaut who walked on the moon quotes a Bible verse as proof that "UFOs are demons"

Charles Duke, Apollo 16 astronaut, claims in an interview that UFOs are demonic entities, citing a verse from the New Testament. He relies on personal experience rather than scientific evidence. A priest in North Wales disagrees with him.

Charles Duke, Apollo 16 astronaut and the tenth person to walk on the moon, claims in an interview with the Christian network CBN that UFOs are not aliens but demonic entities whose purpose is to distance people from religious faith. Duke, now 91, relies on a verse from the New Testament (2 Corinthians 11:14) and a personal experience where a friend raised the topic of UFOs at breakfast immediately after Duke prayed for confirmation. He presents no scientific evidence for his claim. On the other hand, Father Lee Taylor, a priest in North Wales, says that presenting unexplained phenomena as demonic encourages fear and that non-human intelligence does not contradict faith.
