Many people claim to have had encounters with extra-terristials from other planets or say that they saw UFO's. Is it possible that they really saw angels? Or do you think that the people in the Bible who claimed to have seen angels really saw aliens from other planets? Or do you think that both the angel and alien sightings are hoaxes?

To the first person who answered, I didn't think of that possibility. But you bring up a good point. What if both aliens and angels are real, but they aren't the same thing? That could be a possibility. Angels are messengers of God and aliens are creatures from other planets.

You need to look from the historical as well as scientific point of view to answer this question.
Ancient artefacts such as ancient cave paintings in Peru and other parts of South America- of humanoids wearing uniforms and helmets could actually be those of aliens who visited the Earth centuries ago. Why else would the ancient man draw them??? And who made Nazca Lines that can be clearly seen from the sky but not on ground, unless you are aided?
Ancient scriptures such as the Holy Bible speak of Ezekiel's Wheel. It speaks of cities of Sodom and Gomorrah being flattened in one stroke of fire. What did Ezekiel really see? And who had the technology to flatten a city in one stroke?
The Hindu scripture, Mahabharata speaks about ultimate weapons in the war- Bramhastra, Vayuastra and Pashupati Astra- while describing their effects, which were strikingly similar to that of the nuclear bomb, hydrogen bomb and neutron bomb. Did ancient Indians possess the nuke long before US even dreamt of it...or was it some advanced civilization from another planet that was involved in that war?
Angels, in ALL religious scriptures, are capable of performing miracles- such as curing the sick. And that too at a time when our own civilization and medical sciences were just in their primitive stage. Jesus himself cured a leper.
To the ancient man, with his rudimentary knowledge, anything or anyone who could perform something that was beyond their own comprehension or capabilities- was miracles and done by angels. While in reality, it could be aliens with their superior technology capable of doing things that were ordinary- such as using their latest medicinal science to cure the sick, which our ancient doctors could not.
Supernatural- to which angels belong- can also be defined as the natural of which the science and technology is not yet known to us.
I personally believe that angels- at least some of them- if not all- were indeed aliens.
The other "angels' are real ones, from God. However, due to the extraordinary capabilities of both- the ancient man confused one from the other and broadly classified them as angels.
People who've had contact with extra-terrestrial beings or aliens did NOT meet angels. Or else, their lives would have been different now or they might have done something so pleasing to God that he sent His angels to personally visit these humans. And such good humans would have recieved some good blessings. Instead, all those who claimed to be abducted by aliens or met aliens- were down to Earth simple people, who wish they never had that experience or encounter.
And the same holds true for people who claim they saw angels. Why would an angel visit a human, unless to give them some blessing? And which person who claims an angel visitation has been really changed? None.
Angels would not need to travel on board strange looking vehicles such as saucers or kettles or triangles and whatever else goes as UFOs. They can just pop into our room anytime and there's no need for angels to take us on board their spaceship.
In conclusion, angels and aliens both exist. Only, we humans are confused about who's who.

You forgot an option. What if both aliens and angels are real and the people who say they saw angels really did, and the people who say they saw aliens really did?

They have mental problems and aliens don't exist. Everyone who has claims to have seen or been abducted by aleins has a mental problems so I weren't believe them if I were you.
