Prophecy Watchers: Are Drones Linked to Satanic Activity?
Recent weeks have seen an explosion in drone activity and reports of unidentified aerial phenomena, especially in the Northeastern United States. What might appear as purely technological or military developments have sparked deeper questions for Christians about spiritual realities. In a recent interview on Prophecy Watchers, hosts Mondo Gonzales and Gary Stearman explored the spiritual dimensions behind these phenomena, offering insights rooted in Scripture and prophetic understanding.
Gonzales began by pointing to the Bible’s references to the enemy’s dominion in the air. “As you referenced earlier, we have in the book of Ephesians 2:2 and 6:12-13 that the enemy, in this sense, is the prince of the power of the air,” Gonzales says. He explains how this aligns with biblical theology, adding, “The air is kind of the realm of the enemy in the spirit world, the spiritual host of wickedness.”

Gonzales further elaborated on the significance of high places throughout biblical history. He notes, “In the Old Testament, high places were often used as sacrificial sites. Even in Mesopotamian religious mythology, mountaintops were favored because they were seen as closer to the heavens. The Tower of Babel was an attempt to reach the heavenly realm.”
Drawing from Revelation 12, Gonzales highlights a future spiritual battle. “In that future war between Michael and his angels and Satan and his angels, Satan is cast out of that heavenly realm, or air realm, and forced to the ground. This makes him very mad because he knows his time is short.”
Stearman connected these spiritual truths to contemporary UAP and drone activity. Reflecting on historical sightings, he remarks, “I have long believed that what we call UFOs now—UAPs—have a lot to do with the legions of Satan. Particularly when you read about UFO abduction phenomena, which often involve bizarre and invasive experiences, there’s a clear link to satanic activity.”
Yet both speakers caution against jumping to conclusions on the origins of the drones. Gonzales emphasized the importance of a balanced perspective: “I’m a thorough supernaturalist—I believe the Bible—but I’m also very scientific. We shouldn’t immediately label every unexplained phenomenon as supernatural or demonic. Some of these drones are clearly conventional or military.”
However, Gonzales acknowledges the likelihood of deception. “The best mix of deception, whether it’s by the military or others, is to blend genuine UAPs with conventional drones. Why not have a UAP appear in the midst of all this distraction?” he posed. This echoes Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:4: “Take heed that no one deceives you.”
Stearman, drawing on his experience as a pilot, provided insights into the technological challenges of identifying aerial phenomena. He describes how modern radar systems track every aircraft, emphasizing that unidentified objects without transponders trigger immediate alarms. “If something without a transponder appears, it’s a red flag,” Stearman explains, underscoring the complexity of distinguishing between human-made and supernatural activity.
The two circled back to the overarching theme of deception. Gonzales warns, “Deception is going to be the main sign of the end of the age. Truth will be tossed in the streets. Satan is well-known for one thing: disillusionment, casting doubt on everything you believe.”
As Christians, we are called to remain vigilant and discerning. The Holy Spirit equips us to navigate these confusing times, enabling us to discern the tricks of the enemy. It is vital that we lean into His guidance, grounding ourselves in Scripture and prayer. While the enemy’s tactics may evolve with technology, our job remains unchanged: to fulfill the Great Commission given by Jesus Christ. With the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we can expose darkness, walk in truth and proclaim the gospel to a world in need.
