Apocalyptic Christian viewpoints are regularly promoted through various electronic and social media. One particular belief holds that UFOs and extraterrestrials are fallen angels sent by Satan to deceive non-Christians and turn them away from God. Through covert non-participant observation, a study of the use of social media to promote the aforementioned view is conducted. Through brief contrast with a key ontological opponent and careful consideration of proselytizing activities, this belief group can be understood and their socio-political and socio-religious influence extrapolated. Findings reinforce previous study results, showing a general belief in prophecy while generous allowances are made for conjecture regarding current prophetic claims.
