New Documentary Asks: Are UFOs Spiritual Warfare?

There are some interviews that feel like promotion, and then there are conversations that linger in your head long after the cameras stop rolling. Sitting down with Billy Hallowell to talk about his new documentary Investigating the Supernatural: Angels & Demons was one of those moments.

Billy, who has spent decades in journalism and media, admitted that diving into stories about demons and spiritual warfare initially terrified him. He even walked away from an early book deal because the subject matter felt too heavy. “I was so freaked out that I said no,” he told me.

But eventually the calling kept returning.

What makes the film so interesting is that Billy doesn’t approach these topics like someone trying to sensationalize faith. He approaches them like a reporter.

“At the end of the day, for me, I’m naturally a little skeptical,” he admitted. “Every one of them, I was like, you got to prove it to me.”

That skepticism shaped the entire project, which explores spiritual warfare, demonic oppression, miracles, and even the growing cultural fascination with UFOs and alien phenomena. Billy said they intentionally included a section on UFOs because the conversation has become impossible to ignore.

“The big question is, are people seeing something?” he said. “I think the answer is yes.”

One of the most compelling stories in the documentary centers on a mechanic named Bruce, who was crushed beneath a semi-truck and clinically died. According to his account, he rose above his body and watched EMTs enter the room while two angels stood over him. Later, he identified the exact people who came through the back door despite supposedly being dead underneath the truck at the time.

Billy said stories like that mattered because they pushed beyond vague testimony into something harder to explain away naturally.

“We wanted to have compelling enough evidence that people could walk away, and say, wow, what happened there?”

But honestly, the most fascinating part of our conversation wasn’t one of the stories in the film. It was Billy’s own experience making it.

He described feeling a deep spiritual heaviness during production, something he identified as oppression. That experience eventually led him to undergo deliverance ministry himself, something he spoke about with surprising honesty and vulnerability.

“It completely reframed for me how I see everything,” he said while discussing Ephesians 6 and the reality of spiritual warfare.  The skepticism, the searching, the questions about whether God is still moving in miraculous ways, all of it became part of his own faith story too.

For all the conversations about angels, demons, miracles, and near-death experiences, the core message feels surprisingly simple: God is still present.

“I think the message is that God is there,” Billy told me. “He’s here, he’s acting still. He’s very much alive.”
