"An unnamed Vatican Jesuit priest who has confidentially disclosed inside information about a clandestine meeting in 1954 at California’s Muroc Air Force Base (later named Edwards AFB) involving President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Los Angeles Bishop James Francis McIntyre and an extraterrestrial delegation."

with this comment by me:
   
   - Do you deny the possibility of intelligent life on other planets, including creatures advanced enough to travel through space? And if so, they would be created by God in his own image and likeness. And that they may have sinned and were redeemed by the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, who established a Church. And that, traveling to Earth, they might seek out religious leaders similar to their own back home. Can you state with a certainty that this story has no foundation whatsoever?
