UFOs mean Jeebus is coming!

From MSNBC.com, there is a story about a major UFO sighting in a small Texas farming community. Dozens report seeing a very large, flat, quiet, low-flying object with lots of bright lights around nightfall sometime last week. I'll leave it for others to debate the existence of UFOs. I'm not touching that one.

One thing I will touch is a quote from the article:

"People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times," said Steve Allen, a freight company owner and pilot who said the object he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide.

That's just wonderful. At least somebody down there recognizes the craziness of the fundies down there (even if he is a guy reporting a UFO sighting).

I wonder if this is related to Hugh Ross¹ of Reasons to Believe Ministries who thinks UFOs are demonic in origin.
