Here is a comparison of The “Oz Factor messages via alien channeling and the biblical doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture of believers in Jesus Christ. While they describe similar events—sudden mass disappearance—they diverge radically in origin, purpose,
and outcome. Courtesy of CE4 Research.
NEW AGE / ALIEN CHANNELING MESSAGES
• Sources: Ashtar Command, Project World Evacuation (Tuella), The Nine, other channeled entities.
• Core Message: Millions will be evacuated by alien ships to “save” Earth from chaos and allow humanity to ascend to a new consciousness.
BIBLICAL PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE
• Sources: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Revelation 3:10
• Core Message: Jesus Christ will return in the air to snatch away true believers before the 7-year Tribulation.
The “Oz Factor,” a term coined by British UFO researcher Jenny Randles, describes a strange state of altered perception reported by UFO witnesses—where the environment feels dreamlike, time slows down or stops, and reality seems suspended. This
phenomenon shares many similarities with angelic visitations in the Bible, where witnesses often experience awe, fear, altered surroundings, and a break from normal space-time. Here’s a side-by-side comparison courtesy of CE4 Research:
Altered Perception of Time and Space
• Oz Factor (UFOs): Time seems to stop or slow dramatically; surroundings become still or silent; reality feels suspended.
• Angelic Visitation: Time appears suspended (e.g., angelic messages delivered instantly, yet entire conversations are remembered); the environment becomes otherworldly.
“The angel of the Lord appeared… and the people with him saw nothing.” – Daniel 10:7
Heightened Awareness / Hyper-Reality
• Oz Factor: Witnesses report intensified colors, sounds muffled or gone, overwhelming presence.
• Biblical: Angelic visits are often described with overwhelming brightness, fear, or silence.
“And behold, the angel of the Lord came… and a light shone in the prison…” – Acts
12:7
Paralysis or Lack of Control
• Oz Factor: Experiencers often feel frozen or unable to move or speak.
• Angelic Visitations: Biblical figures frequently fall to the ground or become like “dead men.”
“The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.” – Matthew 28:4
Silence or Sound Distortion
• Oz Factor: Sudden stillness or dead silence; natural sounds cease.
• Biblical: Descriptions include silence from heaven (Revelation 8:1) and overwhelming presence where only the angel speaks.
Manifestation of Light
• Oz Factor: Bright lights, glowing objects, sudden illumination.
• Biblical: Angels are described as radiant or clothed in light.
“His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.” – Matthew 28:3
Message or Revelation Delivered
• Oz Factor: Some experiencers receive messages (telepathically or audibly) or are given a “mission” or insight.
• Biblical: Angels deliver God’s messages clearly—guidance, warnings, or prophecy.
“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” – Luke 1:30
Singular Witnessing
• Oz Factor: Often only one person perceives the phenomenon fully while others present do not.
• Biblical: In several cases, angels are visible only to the one chosen to receive the message.
“The men who were with me saw no vision…” – Daniel 10:7
Here is a comparison of the characteristics of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and the abilities of Jesus Christ after His resurrection, as recorded in the New Testament. The similarities are intriguing, especially when examined from a supernatural or interdimensional perspective courtesy of CE4 Research:
Sudden Appearance and Disappearance
• UAPs: Appear and vanish instantly without visible propulsion or warning.
• Jesus: Suddenly appeared among the disciples, even in locked rooms.
“Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.”
– John 20:19
Transmaterial Travel (Passing Through Solid Objects)
• UAPs: Seem to pass through walls, mountains, and water without resistance.
• Jesus: Entered rooms without opening doors; His glorified body was not limited by matter.
“…the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled… came Jesus and stood in
the midst…” – John 20:26
Levitation / Ascension
• UAPs: Hover, ascend vertically, and defy gravity effortlessly.
• Jesus: Ascended into heaven in view of His disciples.
“He was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.” – Acts 1:9
Bright, Glorious Appearance
• UAPs: Often emit intense light or are described as glowing or radiant.
• Jesus: Was described in glory after resurrection, particularly in post-ascension visions.
“His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.”
– Matthew 28:3
Telepathic / Nonverbal Communication
• UAPs: Entities often communicate directly to the mind (telepathy).
• Jesus: Knew the thoughts of people and revealed hidden knowledge post-
resurrection.
“And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?” – Luke 24:38
Interdimensional Movement
• UAPs: Exhibit behavior that suggests they are not bound by physical space-time.
• Jesus: Appeared in multiple places suddenly and ascended into another realm (heaven).
Changed Physical Form
• UAPs: Sometimes morph or appear in different forms.
• Jesus: Was not always immediately recognized after resurrection (Luke 24:16, John 20:14), suggesting a glorified and altered body.
Mission with a Message
• UAPs: Often deliver messages to chosen individuals about the future or human transformation.
• Jesus: Gave a clear commission and teaching about God’s kingdom, judgment, and salvation.

Here is a detailed comparison between the messages reported by alien
abduction/contact experiencers and the Gospel message of the Bible, highlighting their key differences in theology, purpose, and worldview, courtesy of CE4 Research:
Nature of God / Ultimate Authority
Alien Messages:
• God is often portrayed as an impersonal force, or aliens themselves are seen as godlike beings.
• Some messages deny the existence of a personal, sovereign Creator.
Gospel Message:
• God is a personal, loving, holy Creator who rules the universe and desires a
relationship with humanity (Genesis 1:1; John 3:16).
View of Humanity
Alien Messages:
• Humans are primitive or evolving beings.
• We must raise our consciousness or be genetically upgraded by advanced beings.
Gospel Message:
• Humans are created in the image of God but fallen through sin (Genesis 1:27;
Romans 3:23).
• Our need is for spiritual redemption, not evolution.
View of Jesus Christ
Alien Messages:
• Jesus is often redefined as one of many enlightened teachers, an alien hybrid, or misunderstood.
• Some messages deny His divinity or claim His role is outdated.
Gospel Message:
• Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human.
• He is the only way to salvation through His death and resurrection (John 14:6; Colossians 1:15-20).
Salvation and Transformation
Alien Messages:
• Salvation comes through enlightenment, contact with higher beings, or planetary ascension.
• Works-based or knowledge-based salvation (Gnosis).
Gospel Message:
• Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone—not by works or secret knowledge (Ephesians 2:8-9).
End-Time Narrative / Prophecy
Alien Messages:
• A coming “cleansing,” mass evacuation, or New Age of peace—often without moral judgment.
• Some messages promote the idea that those who “can’t evolve” will be removed.
Gospel Message:
• A future judgment day, return of Christ, and establishment of God’s kingdom (2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 21:1-4).
• Righteousness, not evolution, determines destiny.
Truth and Revelation
Alien Messages:
• Truth is relative, evolving, or hidden—only revealed to the chosen or awakened.
Gospel Message:
• Truth is absolute and revealed by God through Scripture and the person of Jesus Christ (John 17:17; Hebrews 1:1-2).
Source of Messages
Alien Messages:
• Messages come via telepathy, trance states, or channeling—often bypassing rational scrutiny.
Gospel Message:
• God speaks through His Word, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit—encouraging testing of spirits (1 John 4:1).
The similarities between alien abduction experiences and traditional shamanic practices are striking in several key areas. Researchers such as Dr. John Mack, Graham Hancock, and others have noted that both involve altered states of consciousness,
spirit-like beings, and otherworldly journeys. Below is a breakdown of their shared features, courtesy of CE4 Research:
Altered States of Consciousness
Alien Abduction:
Abductees often report being in a trance-like or paralyzed state, sometimes while asleep or under hypnosis
Shamanism:
Shamans enter altered states through drumming, fasting, hallucinogens (e.g.,
ayahuasca), or meditation to access spiritual realms.
Out-of-Body or Otherworldly Journeys
Alien Abduction:
Experiencers describe being taken from their environment, often through walls or windows, into spacecraft or other dimensions.
Shamanism:
Shamans speak of “soul flights” where their spirit leaves the body and travels to upper or lower worlds to interact with spirits.
Interaction with Non-Human Entities
Alien Abduction:
Beings such as Greys, Nordics, or Reptilians often communicate telepathically with abductees.
Shamanism:
Shamans communicate with spirit guides, animal totems, or ancestors—often perceived as non-physical or shape-shifting entities.
Experiences of Transformation or Initiation
Alien Abduction:
Many abductees undergo intense emotional or physical trials, sometimes involving surgery, hybrid children, or “downloads” of information.
Shamanism:
Initiation often involves death-rebirth symbolism, dismemberment visions, or painful transformations that result in new spiritual power.
Telepathy and Mind Control
Alien Abduction:
Communication is typically nonverbal and telepathic. Abductees often feel mentally overpowered.
Shamanism:
Shamans use telepathic communication during their journeys and sometimes report being mentally “taught” by spirits.
Distortion of Time and Space
Alien Abduction:
Missing time is a hallmark—experiencers often lose hours with no memory of what happened
Shamanism:
Time is perceived differently; what feels like hours in the spirit world may be minutes in the physical realm.
Technological vs. Mystical Settings
Alien Abduction:
Settings are often described as sterile, clinical, or high-tech.
Shamanism:
The spirit realm is usually natural, symbolic, or mythic, though both involve symbolic environments that are hyper-real.
Life-Changing Aftereffects
Alien Abduction:
Individuals may develop psychic abilities, new spiritual beliefs, or PTSD-like symptoms.
Shamanism:
Shamans often return with healing powers or wisdom but may suffer long-term effects from their experiences.
Scholarly & Cultural Observations
• Dr. John Mack (Harvard psychiatrist) argued that abduction experiences resemble classic spiritual initiations more than mental illness.
• Graham Hancock (author of Supernatural) suggests that both phenomena tap into the same visionary realm—what he calls “the spirit world.”
Here is a comparison of key principles from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and the UFO phenomenon, particularly as it relates to tactics, deception, and strategic ambiguity, courtesy of CE4 Research:
1. Deception is Central
Art of War: “All warfare is based on deception.”
UFO Parallel: UFOs often appear and disappear without explanation, using
misdirection. Governments may obscure or distort information. The phenomenon itself is elusive, presenting as physical yet intangible.
2. Concealment and Unpredictability
Art of War: “Appear at places to which he must hasten; move swiftly where he does not expect you.”
UFO Parallel: UFOs manifest unpredictably—over military bases, remote areas, or populated cities—defying expectations and radar predictions.
3. Psychological Warfare
Art of War: “If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him.”
UFO Parallel: The phenomenon often causes fear, awe, confusion, or spiritual crisis in witnesses, suggesting psychological manipulation or testing.
4. Strike Where the Enemy is Weak
Art of War: “Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
UFO Parallel: UFOs frequently breach secure airspace or disable nuclear
weapons—striking symbolic or strategic vulnerabilities.
5. Use of Agents and Intermediaries
Art of War: “There are five types of spies… Use them all.”
UFO Parallel: Abduction narratives and channeling reports often involve implanted thoughts or entities using human intermediaries (e.g. contactees or hybrids).
6. Superiority Through the Unknown
Art of War: “Know thyself, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.”
UFO Parallel: Humanity lacks full knowledge of the phenomenon—who or what is behind it—creating a severe disadvantage and leaving us vulnerable to manipulation.
7. Mastery of Terrain and Dimensional Advantage
Art of War: “He who knows the terrain wins.”
UFO Parallel: UFOs exhibit transmedium travel (air, water, space), gravity-defying motion, and apparent mastery of physical laws—suggesting superior “terrain” advantage.
8. War Without War: Subtle Influence
Art of War: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
UFO Parallel: The phenomenon exerts influence subtly—through culture, media, belief systems, and personal encounters—without overt conflict.
