Yes sure, but why then are the aliens interpreted as evil?
What is the correlation?
What is the scriptural basis?

I see what you are saying now, you believe that these memories that you have may be false memories implanted by someone else, and that aliens might have had nothing to do with the abductions.

But, if you will permit me yet another question, why is it that you see it as specifically demonic? To say demonic would suggest that there was a supernatural element to the experience. Surely demons wouldn't need props?

OK, but this reply still didn't give any evidence as to why exactly people seem to think that aliens are demons or Nephilim. These theories seem to specifically say that the occupants of the UFOs are evil and bad, and woebetide us all when they land etc.
All I'm asking for is a reason why.

So with that said to answer your question I think a lot of the reason people have this belief is the best selling books by Zecharia Sitchin. I remember when I read them I felt his work was very convincing. There are detractors and I do not know enough ancient Sumerian to refute the man so I with hold judgment.

It is an attempt by the religious heirarchy to explain something they see coming -- alien visitation/intervention/invasion -- that falls outside of their paradigm. I'm speaking mainly of Christianity, because the book of Revelations, which Christianity is now looking to for answers in what they see as the "end times", just doesn't address the issue of UFOs or aliens. They will stretch it, of course, to see an interpretation that isn't really there, but in short, all they are doing is trying to save their belief system and business. After all, church is a business, and a very profitable one. Myself, being cynical of religion to begin with, believe they are doing this (creating fear and a belief that aliens are evil) in order to maintain their control over people. That control is very profitable and they can't let that go. They have no other way of explaining something that isn't really addressed in the Bible. Oh sure, they'll bring up Old Testament stories that seem to point to strange beings, but in reality and if you read those verses, it in no way explains what is going on today. Fear is the key -- they wish to create fear in the faithful (and ignorant) in order to keep their damned power.
