I mean, the bible tells us about him living somewhere out there in the universe. Sounds like an alien to me. The same goes for the angels.
Will you please define the word alien if you don't consider YHWH and the angels to be aliens.

According to the "Ancient Astronaut" theories, many gods in human history were probably aliens that humans mistook for gods.
So, while YHWH and angels might fit the "technical" definition of extraterrestrial aliens, it might be the case that they really were extraterrestrials in the truest sense of the word.
If ancient humans had encountered and worshiped aliens in the past, that would explain the rather strange, but widespread, ideas about gods living up in the sky.
It also would help to explain why so many cultures have myths claiming that all the basic knowledge of their civilizations was taught to them by gods. Things like farming, metal-working, medicines, etc were supposedly taught to ancient humans all across the globe by their "gods".
The world-wide prevalence of this myth is kind of hard to explain without coming to conclusion that there may be a possibility that something actually taught these skills to multiple groups of humans around the world.

Even the Jews had a version of this kind of myth in their stories about the Grigori and the Nephilim.

True according to the dictionary that is the description of an alien. Tecnically you should add unfamilear and unappealing to your question. Is God, Jahweh, an alien? He exsist beyond our physichal comprehension. So if you need to see then believe then to you "technically" he would be an alien. However should you believe then you will "see" the power of God. Also what is technical when asking about God. Technical means according to rules or laws when applied strictly. Now the next question is according to whose laws and rules? Mankind? Can you possibly know or fathom God if you use human tradition, laws and rules? I think and sincerely believe that this is not possible. Is God unfamilear and unappealing because it is not possible to visualise him in the human sense. NO. Look around you. Look at all creation. It is my belief you can see and feel the nature and personality of God just by taking a closer look at all creation around you. From a simple cell to the stars. Look at Jahweh's greatest creation mankind - we were made in his image. How? does God have ten fingers and two eyes. I really don't know. However I do know that just as God rules supreme mankind rules on earth. That is the image we are created in. We were created to rule our Kingdom "earth" and give praise to God, Jahweh, the creator. Is that unfamilear, unappealing or alien to you. If yes then you believe that humans are not "tecnichally" at the top of the food chain.( ruling) If not then you agree that man is made in the image of God. Then since we are made in his image you can agree that he is then not an alien.
Spiritually the beast is lurking in the shadows and if you sleeping in the battle that will be a tale you will not live to tell tecnichally.

An Alien, like an illegal alien is someone from some where not of the place you are in. An Alien from outer space, would be from a different planet or something like that. But God, is not an alien. He created the Universe, he is everywhere, including heaven. God is not an alien. He has and will always be here.

God does not exist. He is just a fable. Go read the bible. If you did you'd know god wants you to scarifice animals, screw your drunken parents, and be a total hypocrite! Also if you believe in christianty and you're a woman you're totaly sad! God hates you, thinks you merely a vessel and you can't even enter church while you're menstrating or after you give birth because you are filthy in god's eyes. Plus god says we're all inbred so HELLO COUSIN.

Sure, any being who lives somewhere other than the planet Earth is an "alien", using the sci-fi definition of the term. :-)

They are aliens according to a strict definition of terms.
Then again, WE are aliens to them, no?

The over-glorfied toilet paper known as the bible is famous for its drivel. Pay it no mind.
