Whistleblower from secret pastors’ UFO meeting issues chilling warning about sinister new religion quietly reaching millions… and predicts ‘very, very dark’ future for Christian faith

For months, influential Christian pastors have spoken cryptically about secret UFO disclosure meetings they said were hosted by mysterious government insiders.
The Daily Mail first reported in May that private meetings of intelligence insiders, former military members and faith leaders were said to have taken place in February ahead of the government’s release of its ‘UFO files,’ a collection of declassified records concerning unidentified flying objects.
Now, one of the men who claims to be behind those gatherings has stepped forward.
Retired US Army Green Beret Paul Bock told the Daily Mail that he helped organize the meetings to warn church leaders about what he claims is a dangerous new religion forming around belief in extraterrestrial beings.
Bock said the emerging belief system teaches that beings once worshipped as God or angels were actually ‘nonhuman intelligences’ that ordinary people can summon for healing, secret knowledge and spiritual advancement. ‘Do I think that it is leading many, many people astray right now? Absolutely,’ he said.
At the heart of Bock’s warning were disturbing images he reportedly obtained during his independent investigation into UFOs and their possible connection to Scripture.
He said the photographs showed ‘hyperdimensional’ creatures, including a squid-like being and a ghostly humanoid figure that appeared to exist outside the earthly realm.
Bishop Alan DiDio, a North Carolina pastor, claimed that he attended the gathering hosted by Bock and was shown photographs of strange entities. ‘This is one of the strangest meetings I’ve ever been involved in during a quarter of a century of ministry,’ DiDio told the Daily Mail.

However, the Daily Mail could not independently confirm that the private meetings took place as described or verify the images allegedly shown to the pastors.
The Pentagon’s main UFO investigative unit has said that most reports of mysterious phenomena in the sky have ordinary explanations, including balloons, drones and even birds.
Despite the Pentagon’s ongoing release of UFO records and claims from several members of Congress that the government possesses more evidence, US officials have maintained that there is no verified physical proof of extraterrestrial life or that UFO sightings involve alien beings.
After matching the Bible’s teachings to documented accounts of UFO contacts, Bock determined that the growing belief that biblical entities were actually aliens was hostile to Christianity.
According to the Christian faith, Jesus taught that he alone is God in the flesh, the only way to the Father and that spirits must be tested by Scripture.
The UFO faith, according to Bock, treats Jesus as just one teacher among many and tells people to trust unnamed beings who bring their own message of contact, evolution and ‘new knowledge.’
‘I took the Christian perspective. I took the non-Christian perspective. This truly is deceptive. Nothing about this lines up with the word of God,’ Bock claimed.
Bock told the Daily Mail the photos shown to pastors were obtained from a man he called a ‘psionic,’ someone with paranormal abilities, whom he met after starting his UFO research in 2022.

‘He was into some very, very dark things, and so these pictures were of entities that would show up when he would go out and do these rituals, and these, in the faith, we would call these summoning rituals,’ Bock explained.
Although he did not see any extraterrestrial activity while on active duty, Bock said he had gained access to shocking images of what he called ‘hyperdimensional’ creatures.
‘One looks like a humanoid figure. It’s very ethereal. It looks like a spiritual type of thing. It’s very different than what you’d think, in a sense, but also at the same time, very, very creepy,’ Bock said.
The February meeting in a Tennessee Airbnb was said to be organized by Bock, evangelist Tony Merkel and one of Bock’s associates, whom he did not name publicly.

‘We would say, “Look, guys, the government’s talking about this. Are you aware of the answers the world is giving? Because these are very good answers. They’re very convincing. What is your answer?”’ he recalled.
DiDio said he, Merkel and fellow pastor Joseph Zupetz were attending the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville when they were invited to Bock’s gathering nearby.
‘I still don’t know if I would have gone if it weren’t for Tony Merkel, and if it weren’t for Paul, [whom] I had known previously. I knew Paul to be an American hero and a man of integrity,’ DiDio said.
DiDio recalled the meeting lasting about three hours and featuring a slideshow and PowerPoint presentation.
‘These are Christian men who love God, who, in the process of their investigation, working within all areas of this phenomenon within the government, outside of the government, they uncovered some information they believe was concerning,’ he said. ‘They shared with us that the church really needs to wake up to this reality.’
The bishop noted that recent surveys had shown more people in the US now believe in the existence of alien life than in God.
‘This can cause a dramatic shift in our culture if the church doesn’t know how to process this,’ he explained.

Bock has revealed the details of what was said to the pastors in a book published in August 2026
Bock said much of the information he presented included publicly available material and clips that had been shown secretly to Congress.
The images have not been released publicly as part of the Pentagon’s ongoing UFO disclosure rollout, and DiDio believes the government has been ‘slow-walking’ the disclosure of more shocking items in its possession.
DiDio claimed other sources with knowledge of the government’s disclosure plans warned that more striking UFO material would emerge by 2027.
While the pastor meeting was initially kept secret, Bock is now sharing what he learned about the alleged UFO faith system and its connection to Christianity.
He has detailed what the pastors heard in his book, ‘The Disclosure Agenda,’ released in August.
