The reason why they kept you from saying "Jesus" is because they hate Jesus. If you say that name, they run.

Let me first make a disclaimer that I was not raised Christian, nor have I made any study of the religion, so I could be entirely wrong, but:
From what I understand, I imagine Satan to be an egotistical so-and-so, a real dastard of an anti-god. If such a one had the means to create such powerful minions, would he not advertise it at every available opportunity?
When people have visitations from angels, or loving spirits, they seem to be sure that what they are seeing came directly from their god.
I guess my point is that I'm just not sure why a devil would mince around trying to convince people of life on other planets. Why not just convince them of the reality of demons and scare the lights out of them?
That being said, I still like your idea, OP, of a sort of meat-puppet inhabited by otherworldly beings. But that also begs the question: Why make yourself such an odd-looking avatar? Wouldn't a frightening devil-costume or even a normal human being (a la the gods of old) be more effective?

It's posts like this that I finally joined after 5-6 years of reading.
You're typing not talking, so why the need of constant "..." for a pause, or affect?
Now if you were talking to someone I can understand you'd be stopping to recollect, however you're posting something apprently important and you jumble the whole thing up rather than get the point across for readers.
In the long run; leaving me a skeptic of your story.
