If UFO's turn out to be real and from another planet or solar system, will the Bible be negated in any way?

Well, that would certainly be interesting. I don't think anything in the Bible precludes life elsewhere in creation beyond Earth. Our God is certainly capable of creating life or even other children in His image (or otherwise) on other planets, etc., if it pleased Him to do so. Wouldn't it be amazing if their first communication to us was that "Jesus is Lord!"? Personally, I think that as we continue to explore space we may well find "organic molecules" and "building blocks" of life... but will probably not find actual living creatures. But even if we were to find life beyond Earth (or it finds us), that in no way negates God's revealed Word to us... but simply increases the glory of God as demonstrated in the fullness of His creation.

If UFO's are real they will have no effect on the Word of God. We may wonder if they are actually mentioned in the Bible such as in Ezekiel 1. If indeed this was God's chariot we should also remember that satan is the prince of the air and Earth. Satan is called a prince because he is a ruler and possesses power to manifest evil in the world through influencing people and commanding demons. "The air " in Ephesians 2:2 may refer to the invisible realm above the earth where Satan and his demons move and exist. Of course the Lord God could and would have anything he chooses to have, such as his own messengers chariot. But will this negate Scripture? Never! The Word of God stands forever...he is the creator of all things, even other galaxies and dimensions and all things would fall under his great power and judgement. Do not fear, we are followers of the living God!
