I am saying only Man is made in God's Image. Our capabilities vastly superior to other created things like animals or aliens
If aliens from another world land and we meet them, does that affect your religious beliefs?

The scale of the US military is ridiculous. For example,
The largest air force in the world is the US Air Force.
The 2nd largest air force in the world? The US Navy.
The 3rd largest air force in the world... that belongs to the US Army.
Russia and China come 4th and 5th, and if you combined those they would still be smaller than the US Air Force by 50%.
That is not much good if the US munitions are depleted in just 7 weeks of combat.
As of April 2026, U.S. military missile stockpiles have been significantly depleted by high-intensity conflict, with up to 50% of key systems like THAAD and Patriot interceptors used in just 7 weeks of the war with Iran, creating severe replenishment challenges.
Replenishing these specific stocks is expected to take 3–5 years. Troops without ammo are not very effective.
These shortages are driven by the Iran conflict (Operation Epic Fury) combined with ongoing supplies to Ukraine since 2022, which included over 2 million 155mm rounds, along with thousands of Javelin and Stinger systems.
Despite the Pentagon signing new contracts, the aging industrial base and supply chain limitations make rapid restocking difficult.
Analysts warn this major depletion impacts the ability to fight a major, simultaneous war against other adversaries, such as Russia and China.
The category of weaponry that has possiblely been strained by the Iran war----if seriously depleted----is not the category or type of weapons that would be used in a major war between the superpowers.
If there were extraterrestrial life, it would not affect my faith because it would just mean that God created them too. But even if extraterrestrials existed, it would be impossible for them to reach us. Space is so vast that even traveling at the speed of light, which is an impossibility according to physics, it would take hundreds of thousands to millions of years to reach us depending on their location. Even if they had the hypothetical technologies to create wormholes or whatever to bend time and space and travel instantly, there is still the question of how they would find our planet in the first place. There are an estimated 200 billion trillion stars in the observable universe. Finding Earth would be like finding one specific grain of sand in the Sahara Desert, a virtual impossibility. How would they even know there is complex life on earth anyway? We've only been broadcasting radio signals into space for 120 years or so. Radio waves also take time to travel through space and degrade over distance.
Having said that, it's possible we could get an alien visit. And by aliens I don't mean extraterrestrial but rather extradimensional. In general, all angelic or supernatural entities could be classified as extradimensional beings. They could also be classified as "aliens" as they are non-human entities. The Bible describes several such classifications, including seraphim and cherubim. So, clearly, there are other beings out there that God created besides humans. Some of which we know about and others that we may not.
One particular entity of interest that the Bible does mention is the Watchers (Dan 4). Those Watchers were loyal to Yahweh (God), but there are other Watchers who rebelled against Yahweh. Depending on your take on the Book of Enoch, it describes an incursion of 200 rebel Watchers who descended to earth and corrupted humanity. The things it describes certainly sound like genetic engineering on both humans and animals, which ultimately led to the Great Flood in Genesis. To the ancient world, the Watchers may have seemed like gods. From our modern perspective, we would think of them as aliens. But really, they are an angelic order of beings who rebelled against God, violated their decree, and were judged severely for it.
I'm sure I will knock over a few sacred cows by saying this, but it may be that we need to revise our concept of what angels are and look like. We think of them as ethereal beings clothed in white, and the Bible does describe some that way. But there are different classifications of angels, and they're not all alike. Some, in fact, may be more corporeal than we imagine, like the angels that visited Abraham and Lot (Gen 18-19). They could be seen and touched and even sat down and ate a meal. It's also conceivable that they possess some form of technology that is "alien" to us.
The Watchers in Enoch are currently bound and awaiting judgment, but there's no reason to believe that there are not other rebellious Watchers out there, attempting to illegally trespass on earth. Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." I believe this also could set the stage for certain end-time events prior to Jesus' return and the great deception that is talked about in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12. No doubt if they suddenly showed up, it would cause many to fall away from the faith and be deceived.

There are so many weird creatures here on Earth, especially in deep oceans, it is hard to believe that God would restrict His creativity in lifeforms to one tiny planet.
Extra-dimensional aliens are what some speculate are being transferred here at CERN. Digital entities from other realms are said to be the old demons and ancient false gods being summoned and transported into our world by use of particle colliders.
Scientists Are Pretty Sure They Found a Portal to the Fifth Dimension
It’s probably in this weird particle.
Could CERN open a portal to… somewhere? (anywhere?)
For general readers: Is it possible that the particle physicists hard at work near Geneva, Switzerland, at the laboratory known as CERN that hosts the Large Hadron Collider, have opened a doorway o…

Actually the whole firecracker propulsion technology for space travel is primitive.
The UAP's and flying saucers do not have any visible signs of propulsion, no wing lift, do not affect the air or water....no sonic boom no splash....they pass through mountains and volcanos.
So they use another type of propulsion and probability travel dimensionally. In theory a thousand light years in seconds. Then you have the flying craft in Ezekiel. And you are right, some believe they are aliens, some believe they are man-made. Some believe they are angels or demons....I think we are going to find out.

God did restrict life to this planet. He also restricted knowledge. Exodus 20:4 - “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.There are so many weird creatures here on Earth, especially in deep oceans, it is hard to believe that God would restrict His creativity in lifeforms to one tiny planet.

Time Warp Dimensional travel
Light travels at 186,288 miles a second.....A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. 5.88 Trillion miles.
The Yellow line represents 1000 light-years.
The Red line represents Space Warp Dimention---1000 light-years
The Silver line represents Time Warp Portal.....ten feet to ten miles long.
Thus 1000 lightyears traveled in seconds or minutes

There's lots of room for speculation, but UAP's being interdimensional makes the most sense to me as they move in ways that defy the laws of physics. The way they can appear and disappear and even change shape and colors can only be explained if they operate from a higher dimension than our own. Getting here through portals also makes the most sense. How all that works, though, I have no idea.

It also explains them going through solid rock.
And another interesting point, they want to be seen, they turn their lights on.
