Jeff, a significant difference exists between the UFO observations and demon possession. The UFO observations are based on real events that can be documented. When the different kinds of observations are combined, they show a consistent interpretation. As I was saying, the perpetrators have developed an agenda. They have goals. On the other hand, demon possession is an interpretation of human behavior, nothing more. You obviously have never seen any of this in action. Certain religions have attributed this behavior to the presence of demons. Modern psychology attributes the effect to extreme personality disorders. So, you are convinced that the vast majority of personality disorders are imbalances in brain chemistry rather than attacks by spiritual beings, whether we call them aliens, demons, or fallen angels. Jeff Nevertheless, I will acknowledge that some supernatural effects might be operating, the nature of which is unknown, except to those who have a preconceived belief that they apply regardless of objective evidence.
