Haunted Cosmos: Alien Abductions and How to Fight Against Them

Season 6, Episode 3 — December 10, 2025
Hosts: Ben Garrett & Brian Sauvé

Episode Overview

In this compelling episode, Ben and Brian investigate the enigmatic world of alien abductions, exploring some of the most iconic and terrifying encounters from the post–World War II era to the present day. Drawing lines between UFO phenomena, spiritual deception, and demonic activity, the hosts dissect famous cases, analyze psychological and theological implications, and offer strategies — rooted in Christian faith — for resisting perceived extraterrestrial oppression. The tone is serious and analytical but punctuated by moments of irreverence, tongue-in-cheek humor, and the hosts’ signature banter.

Main Themes

• Alien abductions as potential spiritual or demonic phenomena.
• The psychological and sociological impact of UFO encounters.
• The recurring absence of material evidence and the impact on witness credibility.
• The use of spiritual authority, specifically Christian invocation, as defense and deliverance.
• Satirical jabs at "insider" knowledge, government involvement, and cultural responses to the unknown.

Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Setting the Stage: The Rise of Alien Encounters

00:42–10:00

Brian narrates the historical explosion of UFO reports after WWII, connecting it to shifts in spiritual, technological, and cultural eras. He sets up a metaphor comparing God’s sovereignty over time to a farmer tending a field — underscoring periods of quiet (fallow) and chaos (harvest) — and posits that the UFO wave isn’t new, but a modern sprouting of ancient phenomena.

“Time is the parchment upon which God writes the story of history... Time is a field where he plants seeds that one day bloom into his manifold wonders.”
— Brian (06:18)

Key Points:

• Postwar period “ripe for chaos;” UFOs as participating in a long history of spiritual unrest.
• Recurrent cyclical pattern tying ancient deity encounters and modern UFOlogy.

2. Case Study: The Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter

10:00–25:19, 33:02–46:00

A deep dive into the infamous 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville “siege,” where a Kentucky family was purportedly attacked by bulletproof, gray-skinned, floating creatures. The hosts walk through play-by-play details, witness actions, and the reactions of local police.

Memorable Quotes:

“The men would charge out to fire before retreating to reload... a Sisyphean task. And yet, despite their helplessness, the family was never harmed. The creatures never pressed their advantage.”
— Brian (46:00)

Insights:

• Number and nature of witnesses: 11 people telling an unwavering story, some unrelated by family ties.
• No measured profit/motivation; in fact, public ridicule followed.
• Distinction between fabrication/hysteria and sincere, if unusual, experience.
• Ridicule of “skeptical” explanations (owl, alcohol, etc.) given the specifics.
• Subtlety of “alien” messaging: presenting as vulnerable, nonviolent, technologically superior — inversion of the expected menacing invader motif.
• Theorized by the hosts as a demonic masquerade customized to the American cultural moment.

3. Modern Abductions: The Kelly Cahill Case

46:00–55:00

The 1993 case of Kelly Cahill in Australia, whose terrifying encounter included missing time, mysterious scars, and telepathically communicated evil intentions (“let us kill them all”). Details align with another independent witness, strengthening her claim.

Key Takeaways:

• Missing time as a recurrent factor.
• Independent corroboration from another group tracking the same timeline and UFO.
• Experiences of multi-generational and psychological trauma post-encounter.
• Characterization of beings as flexing “mobster” style, suggesting an intent to cow or compel compliance.

Quote:

“They may be tempted to start saying, ‘Well, I should appease those beings for the sake of my children’... Aliens were probably the cosmic mob.”
— Ben (55:24)

4. Pascagoula Abduction: The Case of Charlie Hickson & Calvin Parker

63:05–77:24

A 1973 incident in Mississippi: two men fishing are paralyzed, taken aboard a craft by clawed, gray wrinkled beings, and subject to telepathic but “comforting” messages. Despite assurances, the experience is one of deep terror and lasting trauma.

Discussion Points:

• Telepathic messaging vs. gut-level spiritual discernment (“they knew instinctively they were supposed to be afraid”).
• The possibility of latent spiritual/cultural “covenant blessing” providing resistance.
• Parallels with classic demonic oppression/possession; psychological consequences echo those of hauntings.

Quote:

“Despite the messages that had been put in their minds... they never stopped being terrified of the monsters that took them.”
— Ben (71:08)

5. The “Space Brothers” and the New Age Connection

81:33–98:00

Shifting from terror to religious deception, the hosts recount mid-20th-century cases of “ascended masters,” “Space Brothers,” and syncretist New Age movements (Blavatsky, Theosophy, Aetherius Society, etc.).
Orfeo Angelucci’s 1952 Burbank, CA, experience illustrates deceptive religious encounters: perfect beings dispensing a “gospel” of cosmic law, denouncing biblical truth, and claiming to be upgraded versions of biblical figures.

Discussion Highlights:

• The “good cop” aliens who bring new revelation but undermine Christian teaching (universalism, cosmic law, alternative creation stories).
• Recurring themes across divergent religious movements: Mormonism, Islam, New Age; the “angelic messenger” who corrects previous revelation.

Notable Exchange:

“Appearing as an angel of light, presenting a false gospel... it’s almost like it’s right there in the Bible.”
— Ben (94:05)

6. Why Are “Aliens” Demons? The Haunted Cosmos Case

25:19–27:00, 54:56–59:40, 96:45–101:40

Throughout, Ben and Brian repeat and elaborate their core thesis: purported aliens are best understood as spiritual or demonic entities participating in an age-old deception — shifting masks with each new era to advance a subversion of mankind’s special status and Christian truth.

Satirical Flourishes:

• Jabs at government disclosure prospects, pop culture alien tropes, and the American “shoot first” response to the unknown.

Quotes:

“You see a UFO in the distance... What you need to do is grab Thomas Winterton and call upon the name of the Lord.”
— Brian (26:24)

“Don’t listen to the space brothers when they give you weird esoteric visions and tell you that they may or may not be Jesus Christ. Just don’t.”
— Brian (98:19)

7. Deliverance: How to Fight Alien Abductions

110:52–118:04

Christian researcher Joseph Jordan’s studies:

• Consistent pattern that abduction/attack stops when the victim calls on the name of Jesus or rebukes the beings in Christ’s name.
• Case study of “Scott Richardson,” who thwarts sleep paralysis and abduction attempts by reciting Scripture and praying to Jesus, immediately ending the attacks.

Quote:

“If someone calls upon the name of Jesus during an abduction, the abduction stops.”
— Ben (110:52)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Brian (34:36): “They're just lying bumpkins, or it's totally true — there is no skeptical, maybe-they-saw-the-planet-Venus explanation.”
• Ben (55:23): “Aliens were probably the cosmic mob.”
• Brian (59:07): “A lot of the original first wave extraterrestrial investigators ended up concluding: These are spiritual beings.”
• Ben (94:05): “Appearing as an angel of light, presenting a false gospel... it’s almost like it’s right there in the Bible.”
• Brian (98:19): “Don’t listen to the space brothers when they give you weird esoteric visions and tell you that they may or may not be Jesus Christ. Just don’t.”
• Ben (110:52): “If someone calls upon the name of Jesus during an abduction, the abduction stops.”

Conclusion & Actionable Takeaway

The episode closes with the hosts reinforcing their thesis: The most effective defense against “alien” abduction and oppression is spiritual warfare — specifically, invoking the authority of Jesus Christ as described in the Christian tradition. Testimonies support that this approach consistently halts supernatural encounters of the “alien” variety.
The closing scenes shift from the severe to the playful, with musical parody and meta-reflection on the show’s reach and message.

• Expect a blend of serious investigation, relentless theological framework, pop culture references, and inside jokes.
• The Haunted Cosmos hosts urge skepticism toward government and secular explanations, while advocating for a distinctly Christian supernatural worldview.
• Listener engagement encouraged (e.g., Patreon mention, story submissions).

Overall:
The episode is a persuasive, frequently tongue-in-cheek examination of alien abductions as spiritual deception, rich with stories, informed speculation, and a call for Christian discernment and confidence.
