But Duke, 91, is also a strong Christian who has a fascinating perspective on aliens and UFOs, subjects that have received a plethora of attention of late.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The astronaut, who was the spacecraft communicator for the Apollo 11 Moon landing in 1969 and spent 265 hours in space <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/former-astronaut-charles-m-duke-jr\/\">during that time<\/a>, told CBN News he once wasn\u2019t so sure about his beliefs on the true nature of aliens and UFOs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor a long time [years ago] I was praying about UFOs, and asked for a sign,\u201d Duke said. \u201cI felt like UFOs were demonic \u2026 but I was saying that at rotary clubs and stuff like that, and people were laughing me off the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, he asked the Lord to help him come to a definitive conclusion that would settle the matter once and for all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI said, \u2018God, if I\u2019m really right about this, then give me a sign tomorrow morning that a very good friend of mine at breakfast will start talking about UFOs,&#8217;\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this guy\u2019s a businessman. He never talks about science stuff or \u2026 stuff like that. So the next morning at breakfast, we sat down, he said, \u2018Charlie, come on over. I wanna start talking to you about UFOs.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Duke interpreted this as an answer to his prayer. The former astronaut then appealed to Scripture to make his case, looking at the Bible\u2019s description of Satan to further conclude his position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Lord says what we\u2019re seeing is real, but the devil can appear as an angel of light, the Bible says,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd so what I believe \u2026 is the UFOs are trying to turn us away from the truth and run after these alien beings, which are really not beings at all. They\u2019re demonic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, Duke said he\u2019s unconcerned with those who might laugh at him or mock his perspective on the matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can laugh at me if you want to, but that\u2019s \u2026 what God showed me, and I\u2019m sticking to it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duke said he never personally viewed anything on his flight to the moon that would be considered alien or UFO-like.
