The UFO/Alien Abduction Phenomenon in Relation to
Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War”

By Joseph G. Jordan

As a thirty-two-year UFO Researcher and Field Investigator, I had this feeling that what I was seeing was very familiar. But I just couldn’t put my finger on it for the longest time. Then it finally hit me. It was something I had read many years before and just kind of stored away in the back of my mind. 

The way that the UFO/Alien Abduction phenomenon acts is very much in line with some of the writings from an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from roughly the 5th century BC, by  the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu.

Writings of military strategy for winning a war? Why would there ever be any similarities of the UFO phenomenon to an ancient writing such as this? Especially one so revered by leading military strategists even today for its genius.

Unless, we are actually under an alien attack? Or invasion that we are not even aware of? Could it actually be true? Could they be that good at this?

I wonder even now, what was the source of these ideas of warfare that Sun Tzu penned so many hundreds of years ago?

Let’s take a look at just a few of those similarities.

Everything we see associated with the UFO/Alien Abduction phenomenon is steeped in deep deception, lies, illusions, misconceptions, etc. The overall purpose, looking at the decades of findings, looks to be, to change Humanities world view. To take Humanities eyes off of the One True God of the Bible. To cheat Humanity out of the Blessed Hope promised to all that Believe in Jesus Christ. We see this happing to anyone getting involved in this realm.

We appear to be involved in a Cosmic War. A war where the spoils will have an eternal result. And these elusive invaders motives are a very well masked sinister deception.

"Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception."
- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Messengers of Deception, p. 20

"All warfare is based on deception."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 1. LAYING PLANS, 18

We never seem to know where they are at any time. Are they far away, appearing at certain instances in time? Or are they always here, just casually and patiently observing? They are not reported coming in from outside of our atmosphere.

"There seems to be no evidence yet that any of these craft or beings originate from outer space."
-Gordon Creighton, Official 1992 Flying Saucer Review Policy Statement

"We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon which is largely indigenous to planet earth."
- Brad Steiger, [cited in] Blue Book Files Released in Canadian UFO Report, Vol. 4, No. 4, 1977, p. 20

“The UFO phenomenon appears to me as a paraphysical intrusion into our physical dimension by an unknown intelligence or unknown sentient entities, paraphysically materializing themselves to a “pre-selected” observer (or a group of observers, whether large or small) and presenting to the observer a physical extraterrestrial phenomenon and visitations for reasons yet unknown.”
- Norio Hayakawa

"Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 1. LAYING PLANS, 19

The Alien entities are very seductive in their messages, enticing humans to accept them. Offering abilities, or special knowledge, playing upon their pride and ego.

"We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us."
-Terrence McKenna [from a lecture] 

"Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 1. LAYING PLANS, 20

Anytime we try to outmaneuver the UFOs, our military craft are evaded quickly, and made to look to be primitive in comparison. They only show up where we are not prepared to fully engage them. They seem to show up in the most unlike of locations for an outside advanced civilization visiting or exploring.

"The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon..."
- John A. Keel, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, p. 299

"If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him... Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 1. LAYING PLANS, 21 & 24

Dealing with this phenomenon decade after decade definitely allows for a feeling of complacency or acceptance to set in on the human population. We just can’t keep up with the excited fascination for long. We see short little flaps, or spectacular events, or individual experiencer testimonies occurring over time, that keep it going year after year. You can see that they are in this for the long haul. We see records that show that they have been here for a very long time.

"Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting... Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 3. ATTACK BY STRATAGEM, 2 & 18

One of the most difficult aspects of the UFO phenomenon, is predicting where they will appear or come from. Where are they when we are not observing them? That is definitely a $64,000.00 question. They seem to appear from nowhere, especially during the alien abduction experience. This is a tactic that would be very hard to deal with if this is definitely an alien invasion.

"UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it... the
modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical."
-Dr. Pierre Guerin, FSR Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 13-14

"The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy... The general who is skilled in defense hides in the most secret recesses of the earth; he who is skilled in attack flashes forth from the topmost heights of heaven. Thus on the one hand we have ability to protect ourselves; on the other, a victory that is complete... 
He wins his battles by making no mistakes. Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated. Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy. Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 4. TACTICAL DISPOSITIONS, 1 &7, 13-15

One of the most obvious observations about this phenomenon, is the complete lack of any order to it. Or is there? Could the appearance of the lack of any order be an orchestrated war strategy of an alien race?

"In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory... The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle—you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination? ...Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle, there may be seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all; amid confusion and chaos, your array may be without head or tail, yet it will be proof against defeat... By holding out baits, he keeps him on the march; then with a body of picked men he lies in wait for him."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 5. ENERGY, 5, 11, 16, 20

We try to use the best of our human intelligence to try and analyze, recognize, confirm, at best guess their next appearance, but to no avail. Where we think they should show themselves, they do not. Where we think they would have no interest at all, they appear. We don’t see continued repeated sightings in the same location. They are forever holding the upper hand.

If this is warfare, we are going to have a hard time winning playing defense only.

"Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted. Therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him. By holding out advantages to him, he can cause the enemy to approach of his own accord; or, by inflicting damage, he can make it impossible for the enemy to draw near... Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected.

You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack. O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands.

Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances... So, in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak."
- Sun Tzu’s, “The Art of War” 6. WEAK POINTS AND STRONG, 1-3, 5, 7-9, 28, 30

In a paper by Jacques Vallee and Eric W. Davisthe, the authors describe the Six Levels of UAP Analysis. It’s the fifth layer that is of most concern and question to the secular realm.

The fifth layer looks at the psychic effects, involving a class of phenomenon currently found in the literature of parapsychology, such as:
     1) Impressions of communication without a direct sensory channel
     2) Poltergeist phenomenon
     3) Levitation of the witness or other objects in the vicinity
     4) UAP maneuvers anticipating the witness’s thoughts
     5) Premonitory Dreams, a dream that appears to give advance notice or
     warning of some future event.
     6) Personality changes promoting unusual abilities in the witness healing

But as Christians, we can absolutely recognize that we are dealing with what the Bible refers to as “spiritual” experience, and not a good one that would be part of personal relationship building with Jesus Christ.

Lou Elizondo, the former U.S. Government Director of the now defunct (AATIP), the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a $22 million special access program initiated by the Defense Intelligence Agency in order to study unidentified aerial phenomena, also known as UFOs, and associated with the release of the Pentagon UFO videos, states in a podcast interview for The Brief, earlier this year:

“Okay, so my point being, is that we tend to look at things in extreme, and we say if it's, you know if, if it's not from here, if the congressional report says it's not from here and it's from outer space, now what?

Well, what if it doesn't say that, what if it says that you know, these things are potentially something that is interdimensional, that can be explained through quantum physics?

What if it says these things have always been here? In fact, they're more natural to earth than we are, we're just now at the point where technologically we can interact with these things to some degree.

But, what if they're more natural to earth than us humans? Right, maybe we're the aliens.

Again, so I’m being speculative here, and uh, hyperbolic for a reason, but I want to encourage people to think beyond the terms of just either or, It's either from or from outer space or off the world. Because that's not necessarily the only option. But there's other options there, and I think in order to even begin to answer that question, we need more data, we need, we need, we need, much more data, and we need to make this a comprehensive conversation, including our best sciences, our best academics, even yes, our best philosophers.”

Others also had been seeing that this was not as simple as it originally appeared to be. UFO researcher Jenny Randles of England, documented observations of what she termed the “Oz Factor”, where she states:

“The Oz Factor implies that the UFO close encounter has a visionary component. You might interpret that as meaning it is all in the imagination, but it really means that there is a direct feed, if you like, from the source of the encounter to the consciousness of the witness.

Something makes them pay attention by tuning out the normal sensory flow and looking up to watch the show. Where that show is being projected from remains the subject of great fascination. And it certainly does not eliminate another intelligence as running this show.

To me the Oz Factor is a vital key to the UFO mystery, and may help us to resolve what is happening. We should not be afraid of its implications, just because they seem to suggest a fuzziness to the phenomenon. In truth, we should embrace these cases.

Indeed, they seem to make a lot more sense when seen in the context of modern physics and our understanding of quantum reality, multiple dimensions, and relativity. These fields are pretty weird and produce consequences that science has been wrestling with for 100 years. That UFO close encounters exhibit equal strangeness is to me a sign that we are on track of the right answers.”

We at CE4 Research were also seeing that the UFO and abduction experience points to a supernatural or interdimensional viewpoint in relation to Biblical scripture. But we needed research findings to back it up to convince the doubting secular UFO community and peers.

I had been talking with friend and fellow researcher Gary Bates, Author of Alien Intrusion; UFO’s and the Evolution Connection, about our findings in our two separate research endeavors in the phenomenon, our discussions led to the subject of hypnosis. Not about hypnotic regressions on the experiencers as many researchers were doing, but with the similarities that Gary was seeing between stage hypnosis and the so-called alien abduction experience itself. The similarities were uncanny. The recall of an experience was very similar to the recall of someone who had been stage hypnotized and given
powerful suggestions, like participating in a play on stage.

There are props used that help set the atmosphere for the people watching a stage play, but only certain suggested props, to get the point across. Not everything needs to be there, as in reality, to know what idea is being put across.

I thought a lot about this idea and started to explore this a little on my own with some of the testimonies I had worked with over the years. I had only taken their recollection of their experiences and documented them for the record. With this new idea, I wanted to go back to them and ask more in-depth questions of the experience itself.

As I did this, I started finding similarities among the many testimonies that were unusual. Things were missing.

Let me give you an example. If I ask you to sit and recall everything you can remember about your last birthday, (without putting you under a hypnotic trance), you would easily be able to do that, at least the really impressionable things that happened.

On your first round of sharing your memory, the most impressionable things or important things to you will come out. If I question you about less remembered details, I would be able to help you recall them because they were still recorded in the memory banks of your brain. Just by asking the right questions.

All of the senses would have been at work recording the experiences of that day. You just might need help bringing them forward. And keep in mind I am not using hypnosis for memory recall with experiencers. I just ask the right questions.

Even if you wake up from a very vivid dream but can’t remember it clearly, your own mind will fill in the details so a complete picture is created. It may be a puzzling dream, a nightmare, or a recollection of a lived event, but everything is filled in. It’s complete, and actually a quite amazing feat for the human brain if you take the time to think about it.

But, when I did the same thing with the testimonies I re-interviewed, there were gaps of memory. Not all of the senses had recorded information of the experience. It was like that stage play setting that Gary Bates had talked about, having only what was needed to make the play “seem” real. They were sensational, yes, but the sensational points were all that there was to the memory.

An example if you will. One of the best descriptions of the so-called alien abduction experience I have ever seen demonstrated, comes from a Hollywood movie. The movie was not about alien abductions, but definitely explains what I am trying to share with you.

The movie was the first Matrix film, and the scene in question is the one in which Neo (Keanu Reeves), is first being plugged in.

He lays down in the recliner like chair on the ship (submarine), and they hook him up (plug him in) from the back of his head, and he is instantly in this area that is all white, nothing else.

Then Morpheus is there. They walk to a living room scene, only furniture is there (just a few pieces), but you realize it’s a living room setting.

Now, here is the most important part of that scene in relation to alien abductions, WHERE IS NEO?

Neo is still on the recliner like chair on the ship (submarine)-he never went anywhere.

EVERTHING, points to this so-called alien abduction experience as being a planted demonic visionary experience, becoming a false memory.

The alien abduction experience is not a true to life physical experience, but it can leave physical support evidence to help perpetrate the delusion. In other words, whatever it takes to make that person believe it is alien, extraterrestrial from another world.

This confirms the fact that there is no real physical alien (demonic spiritual entities)/human hybridization program going on. There are no alien (demonic spiritual entities)/human hybrid beings walking among us. There are only demonically influenced humans, for which I have no doubt at all, are walking among us.

Everything, points to this as a demonic delusion, perpetrated upon humanity by demonic spiritual entities, capable of producing lying signs and wonders. The purpose being, to take humanities off the one true God of the Bible. In turn, leading them to an eternal damnation and separation from God. This is, and has been, from the time of creation, a Cosmic War. We are seeing millions fall prey to it, becoming Casualties of this Cosmic War.

As Christians, we do not have to settle for a defense only position in the Cosmic War.

My work of two-plus decades in this field has led me to understand who these deceiving entities are. These are demonic spiritual entities masquerading as futuristic space aliens bringing a New Age gospel to deceive Humanity from its promised Blessed Hope from Jesus Christ.

We found through hundreds of so-called Alien Abduction case testimonials that the name and authority of Jesus Christ stops these entities, and terminates the abduction experience as a life pattern through a personal relationship with Him. There are even hundreds of testimonials of UFO sightings disappearing after using the name of Jesus Christ.

The power in the name Jesus Christ is not seen in any other name of any other belief system affecting this UFO phenomenon.

The secular world believes they need high technology to deal with these beings, but it’s the name of Jesus Christ that they must take a knee to.

They appear as technological beings, but that is only a facade. What we see is their natural abilities, the abilities of demonic deceptive spiritual beings.

So, fear not fellow Christians, and do not be deceived by this demonic spiritual deception, the UFO/Alien Abduction phenomenon.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

We are going offensive in this Cosmic War with the most powerful weapon in the
Universe at our disposal to those that believe on Him. The name an authority of Jesus
Christ.

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Phil. 2:9- 11

"In dealing with the mystery of UFO's, we are not on the lunatic fringe of theology. Instead, we stand on your behalf in front line of battle. We are in defensive warfare at a major point of assault on humanity."
- Dr. David Allen Lewis, Author, "UFO: End Time Delusion"

"The one thing we can offer people in this field, that nobody else anywhere is offering, is hope. Hope that they can stop this experience."
