Pentagon commanders have clamped down on research into extraterrestrials because of their religious beliefs, it's claimed.<\/p>\n

Leading UFO researcher Ron James says senior figures in the US government fear aliens are in fact demons. Ron, who is Director of Media Relations for UFO research group MUFON, claims there is \u201ca very large contingent of people\u201d within the Pentagon who opposed the work of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program [AATIP] because they think the UAPs regularly reported by US military sources are piloted by creatures from Hell.<\/p>\n

He says he was told by Luis Elizondo, who has gone on record as being the boss of AATIP, it \u201cwas not just a little voice in The Pentagon\u2026but a huge group of people thought the phenomenon that was being witnessed was demons\u201d.<\/p>\n

This fundamentalist Christian lobby within the US defence establishment \u201cactually affected Elizondo\u2019s ability to get funding, \u201c Ron says. Belief in both UFOs and the literal truth of the Bible is not entirely incompatible, he adds.<\/p>\n

For example, Ron spoke to staunchly Christian US congressman Tim Burchett. \u201cI sat down and interviewed him. His feeling was that if you look in the Bible and you look at Ezekiel building the wheel there's a lot of people that think that that was a spaceship\u201d. He adds that His Holiness the Pope has officially acknowledged that there is life on other planets.<\/p>\n

But the strong arm of religious fundamentalism within US political circles has actively hindered research into UFOs \u2013 and science generally, Ron says.<\/p>\n
