From my understanding, there is no intelligent life on other planets or anywhere in outer space. Humans are alone in this universe.

The only way to be saved is for Jesus to die on the cross and wash away the sins of the ones who accept him.

There seems to be a sinister reason behind the idea that aliens are from other planets. It definitely looks like those who created this theory are tying to deceive as many people as possible. It appears that they have malevolent intentions and are trying to deliberately mislead people. From my understanding, there is no intelligent life on other planets or anywhere in outer space. Humans are alone in this universe. We were created by God to be the highest form of physical life in this universe. There is nothing for us to find out there. Everything that we should pay attention to is right here on this planet. We don't need to search space or look for other planets to find any secret truths or hidden wisdom. We spend millions on space (and weapons for that matter) meanwhile we have multiple ongoing crisises in this country. There are many people, animals, and plants suffering in this planet who could use our attention. What we should focus on is right in front of us.
It appears that what "aliens" actually are, are interdimensional beings. They are able to take on whatever form they want. They don't follow any laws of physics. "Aliens" have worn many different disguises and masqueraded as numerous different things over the cenuries. These aliens appear as forms that people believe in or expect. They play off people's pre-conditioned beliefs and expeditions. This tells us a lot about what type of beings these are. They obviously have some agenda to manipulate and influence humans. They are trying to deceive as many people as possible. These entities are well known to be tricksters. I think they understand that their influence in this world is coming to an end soon and they are tying to deceive as many people as possible before their time runs out. Angels and demons are very real but it's important to understand that the definitions of words have changed over time. Whereas the word demon typically implies an evil entity these days, that is not what the original definition of the word was. The original definition of demon referred to specific entities that could potentially be good, evil, or neither from a human perspective. It is examples such as this as well as mistranslations of various languages which have lead to different concepts becoming incredibly convoluted and having their original meanings altered over time.

I will put my money on the greys and similar being of the fae and fairy folk, and therefore terrestrial rather than interstellar.
shape shifting is a language by the way, I can tell you how the fae do it if you ask.
As for people's preconditioned and cultural beliefs, those beliefs and disbiefs are what they have to work with. Those are generally set in stone and without hope of explaining otberwise. How does one introduce new ideas to closed minds?
Religious beliefs are preconfigured as a whitelist and anything not whitelisted is "obviously an evil demon".
Keep in mind the history of, for example, the church, where inquisitions and the like have tortured and killed so many women and children in "god's name".
what was the crime? having unseen friends comes to mind here.
Who exectly are the demons?
I guess it depends on perspective.
Are you trying to prove my point? I already said that the Bible has multiple instances of other entities or abnormalities like the 3 you listed
As for Old Testament God vs. New Testament, that’s where Jesus steps in to save.
The biblical authors want us to see that God's anger is always a response to human betrayal and evil, and it's expressed through handing humans over to the logical consequences of their decisions, because he gave us free will. We were always damned to hell since Adam ate from the tree. The only way to be saved is for Jesus to die on the cross and wash away the sins of the ones who accept him.
yes, tell us about the fee and the shape-shifting language!
Faerie (n.)
Fairie, "the country or home of supernatural or legendary creatures; fairyland," also "something incredible or fictitious," from Old French faerie "land of fairies, meeting of fairies; enchantment, magic, witchcraft, sorcery" - source.
The jinn are of pre-Islamic Arabian origin. Since the Quran affirms their existence, when Islam spread outside of Arabia jinn belief was adopted by later Islamic culture. The Quran reduced the status of the jinn from that of tutelary deities to something parallel to humans. By that, the jinn were considered a third class of invisible beings, not consequently equated with devils, and Islam was able to integrate local beliefs about spirits and deities from Iran, Africa, Turkey and India, into a monotheistic framework.
