In Evangelist Billy Graham's book on Angels, Reverend Graham says that Angels are Extraterrestrials. Since the dictionary defines "extraterrestrial" as something Outside of Earth, do Angels also include UFOs? Rev. Graham does not discuss UFOs in his Angels book, so I was wondering about UFOs since they are usually classified as extraterrestrial.

It has been pointed out to me that the word 'angel' means messenger. In that case, angels do not include UFO's or imply extraterrestrials. They would simply be people who are messengers.

True. On the other hand, FALLEN angels are using the alien scheme as the end time deception. Careful what you research on google some might frighten you

Yes many if not all are so-called UF0s' that present as series of lights many in formation or even just single traveling at high speed ( at times semi-stationary) are simply angel orbs . As far as extraterrestrials they we're present at the time of Noah including nephelim giants. They will return as the world defenestrated morally and scripture makes it clear they will come from the bowls of hell. ...lovely....enjoy! Play your cards right and you to can be a traveling angel!!

Now I'm confused?

OK, so I googled it.

Original Word: ἄγγελος, ου, ὁ. Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: aggelos. Phonetic Spelling: (ang'-el-os) Short Definition: an angel, messenger
So, angel/messenger, same thing.

Nothing outside the earth , is the quickening of understand that Jesus spirit brings , as demons are earth bound and fallen angels are earth bound ...... So then God and His Holy angels only interest is the earth ........ So as some leaders spend billions of dollars looking for life outside the earth it will be all be just a waste as the planets outside of the earth are sterile of life

An angelos is a messenger but usually (not always) refers to a supernatural, spiritual being.

2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

The angelos in the above, from satan, is clearly a demon and not a human being.

Strongs 32 aggelos:
aggelos: an angel, messenger
Original Word: ἄγγελος, ου, ὁ
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: aggelos
Phonetic Spelling: (ang'-el-os)
Short Definition: an angel, messenger
Definition: a messenger, generally a (supernatural) messenger from God, an angel, conveying news or behests from God to men.

Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

The angel of the Lord is also called 'angelos'. It's obvious though that it's not a human messenger that is appearing in the dream. This time it is angelos 'Kurios' - of the Lord, as in the case of Paul it was angelos 'Satana'. Translated differently as 'a messenger' and 'an angel' but both are not referring to human beings, but to spiritual beings, angels of God and fallen angels (demons).
