Key points
Apollo 16 moonwalker Charlie Duke, 91, tells CBN News he has long believed UFOs are demonic and describes a prayer he took as God's confirmation. He cites the Bible's statement that the devil can appear as an angel of light, says he saw nothing UFO-like on his flight, and discusses moon-landing denial and his faith.
Why it is notable
A man who walked on the moon states, in a new on-camera interview, that what people see is real but that UFOs are demonic deceptions rather than alien visitors.

Editorial notes
- Duke's view is his personal religious conclusion, which he says came from answered prayer. He says he personally saw nothing UFO-like on his flight to the moon.
- The interviewer is not named in the video. The interviewer's remark that astrophysicist Hugh Ross reaches the same conclusion is the interviewer's, not Duke's.
- Duke made similar remarks to Glenn Beck in 2023. Reports in July 2026 recirculated that earlier clip; this October interview is new.
- Timestamps and quotations were checked against the video's YouTube auto-generated captions, which may contain small transcription errors.
