A Brief Account of the True Nature of the UFO Entities (sacred-texts.com)

A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE TRUE NATURE OF THE “UFO ENTITIES”

by

Gordon Creighton

This article, which appeared originally in FSR 29/1 (October 1983)

is reprinted now at the request of a number of readers, and to

remind all our readers of what lies ahead for Mankind. Ever since

its publication, the article has been treated throughout the world

Page 1

with total silence, and there is a general agreement among all

Ufologists on both sides of the Atlantic never to give it a mention.

FSR Consultant Dr Richard F. Haines expected me to print his

comphrehensive REVIEW OF EXPLANATORY HYPOTHESES FOR UNIDENTIFIED

AERIAL PHENOMENA, and I promptly did so. (FSR 32/2 – 1987.) But it

might be noted that he did not deem it necessary to include the

slightest reference to my work in his survey, even as a minimal

gesture of courtesy.

Four of the leading experts in Ufology in the world have written

me privately to say that they think I am on the right track. Only

one of them – Ann Druffel – has had the guts to say so publicly.

One of the more curious features of the followers of the various

religions is that, being so dogmatically certain that in their own

particular little faith they already possess the whole Truth about

all things in Heaven and Earth, it almost never occurs to any of

them to look elsewhere and find out what the followers of other

religions may know or may have discovered.

This is certainly a pity, for study of all the great world-religions

and notably Islam – would yield valuable clues as to the true

nature of the so-called “UFO Phenomenon” and would rapidly eliminate

much of the fatuous “Space-Age Mythology” that has been spawned in

such profusion over the last three decades.

Islam knows, in fact, of the existence of THREE entirely separate

and distinct species of intelligent beings in the Universe, and

indeed can furnish suprisingly precise details regarding their

natures and roles and activities.

ANGELS, MEN, AND JINNS

The first category is of course that of the ANGELS or Messengers

(Greek: ANGELOS; Hebrew: MALACH; Arabic: MALAK). These are high

beings created of LIGHT.

The second category, however, and the one with which we are here

concerned, is the category of those beings (CREATED BEFORE MAN WAS)

who are referred to collectively in Arabic as AL-JINN *1*. Although

there is some dispute about it among Arab grammarians, most of their

lexicologists seem to hold that the word derives – as Arabic words

almost invariably do – from a verb-root, namely JANNA, “TO HIDE OR

TO CONCEAL” – indeed a very fitting derivation for the name of these

creatures.

The third category are MEN, with bodies created according to the

QUR’AN, of CLAY, or, in other words, this being poetic language,

they have physical bodies assembled from the mineral and chemical

elements of our PERIODIC TABLE – the “PLANETARY BODY”, as Gurdjieff

used to call it.

Whereas the bodies of Angels are of light and the bodies of men are

of the gross elements of the Earth, the bodies of AL-JINN consist

Page 2

of what is variously translated as “ESSENTIAL FIRE” *2*, or

“ESSENTIAL FLAME”, or “SMOKELESS FIRE” *3*, or “SMOKELESS FLAME”,

and it is specifically stated in the QUR’AN (Surah XV, 26 and 27)

THAT THEY WERE CREATED BEFORE MANKIND WAS. (Some scholars have

speculated that these might be the “PRE-ADAMIC MEN” whose existence

is hinted at here and there in the “Holy Bible.”)

There has been much debate among modern students of Arabic as to

precisely what these terms “MIN NARI AL-SAMUMI” *2* and “MIN MARIJIN

MIN NARIN” *3* can conceivably mean in modern parlance, and some

scholars have concluded that, in using these terms, the Prophet

Muhammad (the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) was there

attempting to describe what Western occultists have tried to

describe by such terms as ETHER, or maybe the so-called ETHERIC OR

ASTRAL PLANES. (I have also seen it suggested that some sort of

PLASMA is indicated.)

(Needless to say, such concepts as ETHERIC PLANE and ASTRAL PLANE

have no meaning for modern Science and, so far as I know, apart from

Dirac, the physicists have abandoned their speculations regarding

the existence of an ether.)

THE SOURCE OF THE JINNS

Wherever it is that the JINNS are thought of as being normally

located, it seems highly likely that the source of many of them, at

any rate, is not very distant from us, and some Muslim scholars who

have become aware of the current Western research into the so-called

“UFO Phenomenon” and have reflected awhile upon it have concluded –

and I think correctly – that maybe the best way we can start to

visualize these matters is by thinking of the JINNS AS BEING VERY

CLOSE INDEED TO US AND AND YET AT THE SAME TIME SOMEHOW VERY FAR

FROM US. IN OTHER WORDS, ON SOME OTHER DIMENSION, OR IN SOME OTHER

SPACE/TIME FRAMEWORK, “RIGHT HERE’, OR MAYBE IN A WORLD OF ANTI-

MATTER RIGHT HERE, OR OCCUPYING AS IT WERE SOME OTHER UNIVERSE THAT

IS HERE, BEHIND ALICE’S MIRROR: “A MIRROR-UNIVERSE ON THE OTHER SIDE

OF THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM” AS IT HAS BEEN NEATLY PUT BY SOME

INVESTIGATORS.

The QUR’AN, however, is not clear on this, and admittedly it looks

as though it is very possible that some of the JINNS could be fully

physical and what we call extraterrestrials, while other species of

them are of an altogether and finer sort of matter, corresponding to

what various UFO investigators have tried to indicate by such terms

as “ULTRATERRESTRIAL” or “METATERRESTRIAL”.

In thinking about these ideas, we might bear in mind the theory

of the Russian philosopher P.D. Ouspensky regarding the possible

existence of other, more subtle, levels of matter on which the

elements of the Periodic Table of our own chemical world are

repeated – and, if I understand him aright, repeated more than once,

on more than one level. The early writings of Dr. Meade Layne in

the USA about the “DENSE ETHERIC WORLD” from which he maintained

that the UFO entities and their craft originated should also be

borne in mind. (His book, THE COMING OF THE GUARDIANS, was

published in 1958, and may prove one day to have been very important

indeed.) Certain of the benevolent JINNS may well be our

“Guardians”.

That there is some close affinity, or some link of destiny between

JINNS and Mankind seems certain, for although the vast majority

of the JINNS are DEVILS, SHAYTANS *4*, nevertheless we are assured

in the QUR’AN that some among their many species are “goodies” and

are capable of salvation. For it is specifically stated that

Muhammad was sent as a Messenger to both Mankind and the JINNS, so

that, in the Final Days, some of the JINNS will enter into Paradise,

while the rest of them will be cast down into Hell. Their

revelation to IBLIS *5*, the Top Devil ( = “Satan”) is in general

somewhat obscure. In the QUR’AN IBLIS is certainly described as a

JINN, but elsewhere in the QUR’AN he is also described as an ANGEL.

(Surely the explanation is that IBLIS is that same high being,

originally of Angelic status, who rebelled against God and is named

in the Christian texts as “LUCIFER?”)

Had we the space, much more might be said about the JINNS and their

doings, but only a brief account of their main characteristics can

here be given. Their principal features, as listed below, are as

I have gathered them from all the Muslim written and traditional

sources that I have been able to consult over the past 15 years.

The reader can see for himself the parallels with the reported

features of UFO entities and can draw his own conclusions. I hope I

do not have to labour the point, space being precious.

THE CHIEF CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JINNS

In the normal state they are not visible to ordinary human

sight.

They are, however, capable of materializing and appearing

in the physical world. And they can alternately make

themselves visible or invisible at will.

They can change shape, and appear in any sort of guise,

large or small. (See for example, Ahmad Jamaludin’s

excellent report, A WAVE OF SMALL HUMANOIDS IN MALAYSIA IN

1970, in FSR Vol. 28, No. 5). Ahmad Jamaludin is a Muslim,

and he knows, of course, what it is that we are talking

about.

They are able also to appear in the guise of ANIMALS.

(Yetis? Pumas? Loch Ness Monsters?)

They are inveterate liars and deceivers, and delight in

bamboozling and misleading mankind with all manner of

nonsense. (See the average Spiritualist SEANCE for examples

of their activities, and also the usual “communications”

from UFO entities in close-encounter cases.)

They are addicted to the abduction or kidnapping of humans.

(The Scotsman Robert Kirk, who wrote “THE SECRET

COMMONWEALTH” in 1691, evidently “knew more than was good

for his health”, and was killed by them.)

They delight in tempting humans into sexual intercourse and

liaisons with them, and Arabic literature abounds with

accounts of this kind of contact by mankind with both the

“goodies” and the “baddies” among the JINNS. There are also

even a considerable number of accounts of encounters between

Page 4

the “goodies” and famous Muslim saints. For example, the

book MANAQUIB AL-ARIFIN *6* has a number of very significant

references to contacts between such higher beings, and JALAL

AL-DIN RUMI, Islam’s greatest mystical poet, who lived from

1207 to 1273.

(I often wonder which category of JINNUS it was that was encountered

in Brazil by the farmer A.V.B. See my third article on “A.V.B.”,

POSTCRIPT TO THE MOST AMAZING CASE OF ALL, in FSR Vol. 11, No. 4,

August 1965.)

IN OFFICIAL ISLAM – AND THIS CANNOT BE OVER-EMPHASIZED – THE

EXISTENCE OF THE JINNS HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETELY ACCEPTED, EVEN

LEGALLY, AND EVEN TO THIS DAY, IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE. THE FULL

CONSEQUENCES IMPLIED BY THEIR EXISTENCE WERE WORKED OUT LONG AGO.

THEIR LEGAL STATUS, IN ALL RESPECTS, WAS DISCUSSED AND FIXED, AND

THE POSSIBLE RELATIONS BETWEEN THEM AND MANKIND – ESPECIALLY IN

RELATION TO QUESTIONS OF MARRIAGE AND PROPERTY! – WERE SERIOUSLY

EXAMINED BY JURISTS, AS THE GREATEST AND MOST AUTHORITATIVE WESTERN

SOURCE, THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF ISLAM, CONFIRMS.

Stories of sexual commerce between JINNS and mankind have been of

perennial interest to Arab readers, and it is important at this

point to mention that in CHINESE literature (and in China the Han

population are not Muslims – only certain of the smaller minority

peoples of the North-West and Far West are) there is also a

considerable tradition of this sort which awaits examination by

Ufologists.

The great Arabic literary catalogue known as the FIHRIST *7*,

compiled in the year 373 of the Muslim Calendar ( = C.E. 995) by

Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Abi Ya’qub al-Nadim al-Warraq al-Baghdadi,

lists no less than sixteen works dealing with this theme. (Compare

also the European occultists’ records of sexual contact between men

and female SYLPHS, as well as the copious mediaeval Christian

records relating to INCUBI and SUCCABAE.)

Most Westerners will discount all this talk about the JINNS with

the usual argument that the Arabs “are barbarians anyway”. Let me

therefore point out that, in C.E.995, when the FIHRIST was written,

the brilliant civilization of the Arabs was incomparably higher than

anything elsewhere in the world except for China and that Christian

and Western RENAISSANCE owes its origins as much to our contact with

Islam (the Crusades) as to the early percolation of Greek learning

to the West.

As a matter of fact quite a lot of the philosophy and the literature

of the Greeks reached us first, not in Greek at all, but in the

Arabic translations secured from Cordoba and Toledo in Spain in the

10th and 11th centuries, when the Muslims still held most of Spain.

It is only in the last few centuries, and particularly since the

Industrial Revolution and the growth of modern materialistic

Science, that the West has forged ahead. But in 1200 C.E. Muslim

Science was in the lead, particularly in such fields as Medicine,

Mathematics, and Astronomy, and it would be grossly impudent to

assume that our current “superiority” over them has anything

permanent about it.

THE JINNS are wont to snatch up humans and teleport or

transport them, setting them down again – if indeed they

ever do set them down again – miles away from where they

were picked up, and all this is the “twinkling of an eye”.

(See my first article on TELEPORTATIONS, about the Spanish

soldier who, on October 25, 1593, was suddenly taken from

Manila in the Philippine Islands across the Pacific to

Mexico City. In FSR Vol. 11, No. 2, 1965).

The Arabian tradition asserts that, throughout all known

history, there have been a few particular human beings who,

through some strange favour, have “been in league with the

ÿ JINNS” or “had a copact with the JINNS” – to such a degree

that the JINNS have endowed them with what we regard as

“preternatural powers” – ie., PSYCHIC POWERS.

These humans have consequently become known as wonder-workers,

soothsayers, and MAGICIANS. (Either “white magicians” or “black

magicians”, depending of course upon what sort of JINNS they were in

league with.)

Here again, compare the European tradition about individuals who

have discovered how to collaborate with the KINGDOM OF THE SYLPHS or

the FAIRIES. For example, there is the case of the “working

partnership”, not more than seventy years ago, between a SYLPH and a

highly successful Parisian dealer in rare old books. The SYLPH made

its contribution by acting as the “scout” and finding out where and

in whose possession the rare books were. All the dealer had to do

then was to approach the owners and offer to buy!

Along with all these displays of prowess by the JINNS there

goes, finally, a tremendous TELEPATHIC POWER and the ability

(to use an age-old term) to “CAST A GLAMOUR” over their

human victims. Our UFO records are already full of evidence

of this.

How much of what we see happening today, at the highest levels

of international politics, as well as in ordinary human affairs, can

be attributed to this subtle control and interference in our lives

by insidious and unseen forces! Indeed, this is one of the prime

reasons for the parlous state in which man finds himself. Some

recent reports from UFO investigators hint at alien plans to provoke

war here and drive the Gadarene Swine (mankind) over into the abyss.

The present-day Christians, who generally seem to have very little

sense of curiosity, are apparently quite happy to pass their days in

total ignorance of all this. But a careful study of the New

Testament (AND ONLY IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK!) will show clearly that

nothing of what is said above was unknown either to the Teacher and

Healer Jeshu of Nazareth or to his principal followers -particularly

Paul. (Incidentally, Christians may like to know that in Islam the

full name and title of Jeshu of Nazareth is ISSA, SON OF MARY, WORD

OF GOD.)

Long before the rise of Christianity or Islam there were of course

other great Teachers (Messengers) who preceived clearly the

situation in which mankind finds itself. One of these was

Zarathustra (Zoroaster) in the old Iranian civilization of the

Page 6

Achaemenidae -about 600 or 700 years B.C.E. The great religious text

left by Zarathustra is the AVESTA, which tells us much about the

Demonic Forces, referred to under the blanket term of AHRIMAN, the

Enemy of Light. Mankind, in this teaching, is seen as a special

creation of ORMAZD, the SUPREME SPIRIT, who is locked in permanent

conflict with AHRIMAN.

THE SOUL OF MAN IS THE OBJECT OF THE WAR, AND MAN HIMSELF IS THE

BATTLEFIELD.

DR. RUDOLPH STEINER

In our days, there has probably been no teacher who saw and

understood all this more clearly that the great Austrian Dr. Rudolf

Steiner (1861-1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Society.

“Clairvoyant” from childhood, Steiner [claims he] saw into the other

worlds and planes and saw deeply into the human heart, and no books

or teachings are so relevant as his are to the crisis of mankind

that is now upon us. His lectures throughout 1917, for example,

show clearly that he foresaw, in their totality, the political,

social, and military results and the police-state tyranny which

would inevitably follow from the Russian Revolution, just as the

“Lady” of the Apparitions at Fatima in the same year also did.

Steiner foresaw what would result in the world as a whole from a

materialistic science run mad: the development of “test-tube” man,

“biological engineering” and other horrors; the deliberate creation

and development of living monsters; and the soul-less, God-less,

dehumanized, computerized, insect-like chromium and plastic slave

world of “1984” that may now be at hand.

According to Steiner, a tremendous and crucial round in the

battle was fought out in the last thirty years of the 19th century

and on the Inner Planes, between the Forces of AHRIMAN (the term he

took over from Zarathustra) and the FORCES OF LIGHT.

These latter are conventionally known to Western (Christian)

tradition as the Cohorts of Michael. Steiner said that the fight

ended in a complete victory for the LIGHT, but that, as a result of

it, a great many of the powerful demonic beings had been actually

cast down upon the planet Earth, with the consequence that their

presence and their influence now impinge more than ever upon the

propects and the destiny of mankind.

STEINER TAUGHT THAT THE COMING YEARS WILL SEE INCREDIBLE UPHEAVALS,

IN THE COURSE OF WHICH THIS GREAT BATTLE WILL BE CARRIED FORWARD, TO

ITS CONCLUSION, INSIDE EVERY HUMAN HEART. See Rudolf Steiner: DER

STURZ DER GEISTER DER FINSTERNIS: (THE OVERTHROW OF THE SPIRITS OF

DARKNESS), Series of Lectures, 1917. (Available only in German.)

The objective of the Forces of Darkness is to take over the stream

of human evolution, to merge with it, and to divert mankind from the

evolutionary development “planned” for it. The end result of this

would be new creatures in which those qualities that represent the

highest that we know would have been eliminated.

Smart-alecky modern man of the Pop Age, the “Trousered Ape” as he

has been called, has of course no use for all this sort of

Page 7

“rubbish”, and immense numbers of our species have discarded all

belief in the existence of demons, along with any belief in the

Great Power that rules the Universe.

(Sophisticated folk nowadays know that the world was not created by

God, but by Karl Marx. And they know that Lenin and successors are

His Prophets.)

There is a delightful passage in C.S. Lewis’s SCREWTAPE LETTERS,

where the Senior Devil, talking to one of his underlings, makes a

profoundly important remark: “OF COURSE, OUR GREATEST TRUMP-CARD IS

THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY *KNOWS* WE DON’T EXIST.” (Or words to that

effect.)

Similarly, the vast majority of mankind KNOW that JINNS and UFOs and

UFO entities don’t exist. And what a nice advantage that is for the

entities!

But what if HOMO SAP (so-called, self-dubbed) were in for some

big shocks in the near future? What then?

With the recent advance of Science, man has rapidly become aware of

the vastness of the Cosmos and of the probability that there exist

out there innumerable other physical worlds inhabited by intelligent

beings, some of which, for all we know, may be (as we dearly hope)

identical with men, with our tastes and our values, our hopes and

our fears.

It is natural that some among us, surveying the impasse into

which we have got ourselves, might well be tempted to look up to the

stars in the hope that someone wiser than we are might arrive one

day from there and give us all the easy answers.

If there be any truth in the ancient story that the inhabitants

of Magonia, unlike men, do not possess the possibility of developing

immortal souls, and therefore are anxious to acquire such by mating

with us and mingling their life-stream with ours, what moment could

be more propitious to them for achieving their purpose than now?

Can’t you just hear the message of their Captain?

-“WE ARE FROM TAU CETI, AND WE COME TO BRING YOU SALVATION

AND SHOW YOU THE WAY OUT OF YOUR PROBLEMS. WE WILL GET

YOU OFF THE HOOK!”

Vangard Notes..

This is one of the most interesting papers I have seen in

awhile as far as UFO’s and ancient beliefs. The book “1001

Nights” goes into much detail regarding the Jinn and their

abilities and aims. They are extremely mischievous and take

great pleasure in teasing mankind.

Page 8

Years ago, during my magical studies, I found many intriguing

legends, traditions and superstitions relating to beings or

forces which COULD BE CONTROLLED OR DIRECTED BY MAN.

Indeed, that is the basis of the higher forms of CEREMONIAL

MAGIC. Talismans, amulets and spells also influence these

entities to various degrees. I firmly believe that there are

specific geometries and patterns which can be so combined and

projected as to cause changes in line with the will of the

operator.

Unless you have experimented in the magical area, you do not

have the right to cast aspersions or make decisions based on

your own prejudices or beliefs. The basic Gnostic teaching is

to know FROM DIRECT EXPERIENCE.

This file offers a most interesting “alternative” to the UFO

pheonomenon which I think is refreshingly original. Note that

is in directly inline with the thinking of John Keel and Jacque

Vallee. Although without the mystical overtones of some of the

more outrageous Persian tales.
