The UFO Connections of Jesus Christ by Kazmer Ujvarosy

The central premise explored in the book is the potential connection between extraterrestrial visitors and the figure of Jesus Christ. The author, Kazmer Ujvarosy, poses the question of whether angels were, in reality, extraterrestrial astronauts tasked with educating inhabitants of less advanced planets about humanity and the universe.

Ujvarosy's research into ancient texts, specifically mentioning the Apocryphal or concealed writings of Christianity, is presented as evidence for his theory. He claims these texts agree on the singular recognition of "space visitors" who arrived in vehicles described as "fiery chariots" or "clouds of light," which are equated to modern spaceships or UFOs.

A further concept introduced is that Earth itself is a living entity, an immense "tree" originating from the "eternal seed of Cosmic Man," which is the source of all life.

The book directly addresses the controversial question of whether Jesus was conceived through artificial insemination by one of these extraterrestrial astronauts upon Mary. It promises to offer readers an "enlightening answer" and an "entirely new perspective" on these and other similar questions.
