The First and Last Deception: Aliens, UFOs, AI, and the Return of Eden’s Demise

“FEARLESS”—Fr. Chris Alar, “MASTERFUL”—Mark Mallett, “A MUST READ!” —Dr. Michael Sirilla, “HUMANITY NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK”—Christine Watkins, “CONVINCING” —Jesse Romero

Only man bears His Image. History’s Original Tragedy—The First Deception—began with Eve’s neglect of this truth. By her willingness to engage in dialogue with a “Nonhuman Intelligence” (a fallen angel feigning benevolence and assuming the disguise of an incarnate rational creature), the Fall of Man was precipitated. Today, the Last Deception is arising in the same manner.

The Devil now seeks to deceive mankind not in the form of a speaking serpent, but rather by employing today’s prevailing myth—science fiction—and he is empowered by increasingly sensational but patently false claims masquerading as nonfictional. These contemporary lies—regarding aliens, UFOs, and superintelligent AI—provide still more alluring disguises for him to yet again beguile the human race into entering into dialogue with him, even while failing to discern the cloven hoof. Thus, the Biblically foretold “Strong Delusion” (2 Thessalonians 2) is heralded as men “wander into myths” (2 Timothy 4) and heed “demonic instructions.” (2 Timothy 4)

But this book will equip you to resist it: to reject The Last Deception

“Fearless, thought-provoking, and even appropriately controversial, Daniel O’Connor’s latest book, The First and Last Deception, gives the reader much to ponder on hot-button topics, such as UFOs, aliens, and A.I. As always, his extensive research and academic training in the Catholic faith are on full display.”
—Fr. Chris Alar, MIC. Provincial Superior & Director of the Marian Helpers at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy

“A masterful, if not definitive refutation of the alien hypothesis.”
— Mark Mallett, Evangelist, Host of Countdown to the Kingdom & The Now Word, and Author of The Final Confrontation

“In this excellent volume, Professor O’Connor … shows how Satan is continuing his ancient deception of the human race today, hidden in plain sight. … Informative and pragmatic, this book also serves as an extended spiritual meditation on the human condition, salvation history, the enemy’s wiles, and God’s goodness, truth, mercy, and power. A must read!”
— Dr. Michael Sirilla, Professor of Systematic and Dogmatic Theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

“Now I feel that humanity needs to read this book and pass it onto others, even to those who could care less about the subject. Why? Because an enemy is lurking behind alien eyes. This enemy is real, but not what people think. We must waste no time now in forming a Catholic fortress against a tsunami of extraterrestrial lies that is advancing, threatening to kill the faith of many.”
— Christine Watkins, Author of The Warning & Founder of Queen of Peace Media

“Daniel O’Connor convincingly argues that the UFO phenomenon is demonic in origin… the Antichrist could make use of this great falsehood…”
—Jesse Romero, Radio Host, Evangelist, & Author of The Devil in the City of Angels: My Encounters With the Diabolical

From the Publisher

Praise for The First and Last Deception

“In this excellent volume, Professor O’Connor shows how the teaching of Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Church’s Magisterium illuminates the faithful Catholic with respect to the avalanche of recent allegations of UFOs sightings. O’Connor shows how Satan is continuing his ancient deception of the human race today, hidden in plain sight. The recent ramping up of UFO claims, allegedly intelligent extraterrestrial life, and the involvement of the US government (and world governments) in the midst of it all is not merely the next “psyop”; rather, it is an essential part of the diabolical plan to deceive the human race to reject Christian faith and the offer of eternal life. Informative and pragmatic, this book also serves as an extended spiritual meditation on the human condition, salvation history, the enemy’s wiles, and God’s goodness, truth, mercy, and power. A must read!”

“Fearless, thought-provoking, and even appropriately controversial, Daniel O’Connor’s latest book, The First and Last Deception, gives the reader much to ponder on hot-button topics, such as UFOs, aliens, and A.I. As always, his extensive research and academic training in the Catholic faith are on full display. Having attended seminary with him, I know first-hand Daniel’s orthodoxy and his love of the truth of Catholicism. Although some may disagree, O’Connor presents a compelling argument that the whole notion of non-human intelligent incarnate life is the final deception referred to in Scripture. It behooves all of us to consider this possibility, or else risk being “unprepared” for the end times as Christ has warned.”

—Fr. Chris Alar, MIC. Provincial Superior & Director of the Marian Helpers at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy

“One would think that with more or less two trillion galaxies and 200 billion trillion (sextillion) stars in our ever-expanding universe, it would only make sense that other rational beings could exist somewhere out there—right? With the United States Congress holding actual hearings on UFO’s, they must be onto something—no? After all, sane people have recounted seeing unidentified flying objects for years—and didn’t some saint say that there could be intelligent life in the universe, besides little us? Really, there is no logical fallacy or harm in believing that aliens exist. Or is there?

The First and Last Deception surprised me. My mind was airtight on the possibility of there being rational creatures among the two trillion galaxies, until Daniel O’Connor’s extensive research, arguments and incontrovertible truths punched holes in my assumptions. Now I feel that humanity needs to read this book and pass it onto others, even to those who could care less about the subject. Why? Because an enemy is lurking behind alien eyes. This enemy is real, but not what people think. We must waste no time now in forming a Catholic fortress against a tsunami of extraterrestrial lies that is advancing, threatening to kill the faith of many.”
